Tomorrow is the 1st of July which means two things: 1. it’s July Morning and 2. stepping back for a moment and thinking about all the things happened so far.

For those of you who are not Bulgarian (the majority then), July Morning is an unique newly adopted tradition – from the 1980s. Basically people spend their nights on the beach or anywhere along the Black Sea coast, with music, camp fire, etc. and wait for the sunrise. I presume that’s a way to celebrate the freedom of the spirit. And I can assure you, it’s actually amazing!

I always find it difficult to express my feelings with words, but I can still try.

The first six months of 2017 brought me so many different emotions: excitement – I’ve started my blog and continued developing it; depression – I struggled with finding a job and got anxious about my exam grades; satisfaction – because I’ve found a job and it’s the best one so far; some more excitement – I was picked to take part in a paid project at uni and passed all of the exams; some more depression – I got rejected for the uni exchange programme; and some more excitement on my way back home.

Overall, I must have been really excited thorough the year 😀

Anyway, we all do New Year resolutions, and I though… why not doing some New Half-year ones 😀 Here are some of mine:

Personal Goals:

• Be fit and healthy – running/cycling at least 3 times per week is a must!
• Read at least one book – and finish the ones you’ve started!
• Explore at least one new city – visit as many new places as possible!
• Get your driving license!
• Find yourself an internship – or you won’t pass your third year!
• Be kinder and happier – give your best and never expect anything in return!

Blog goals:

• Make a blogging schedule and stick to it – how about posting every three days?
• Don’t be scared to reach out to brands and promote your blog.
• Get 1000 followers by the end of your first half a year of blogging.
• Host your first giveaway – your readers deserve some appreciation!
