A brand new day! / Un giorno tutto nuovo!

  My last first day of Law School.
One year after my great British experience.
DoI feel like I've grown up? Maybe, I mean, a little.
I remember that when everything started I was not that positive. I was sad, broken-hearted, with frequent nervous breakdowns. But, little by little, day after day, year after year, I could feel that something had changed. I could feel that all the pain fade away and I was getting stronger.
The past year has been full of emotions, experiences, teachings, blessings. And I don't expect much of that from this new year.
I do expect a year full of pain, regrets, hard work, sadness, disappointment, nervous breakdowns, confusion. But the truth is that I've changed. The truth is that I can face all of that just being positive ( i know this sounds weird). But what I learned is that I can do whatever if I stick to a positive attitude.
So, let this year begin. I am looking forward to discovering each side of it. The good, the bad, the unexpected.



 Il mio ultimo primo giorno di università! 

Un anno dopo la mia magnifica esperienza in Inghilterra. 
Mi sento cresciuta? Forse, o meglio, un pò. 
Ricordo che, quando tutto ebbe inizio, non avevo alcuna traccia di questa positività. Ero triste, avevo il cuore spezzato, continui crolli nervosi. Ma, pian piano, giorno dopo giorno, anno dopo anno, ho iniziato ad avvertire dei cambiamenti. Il dolore stava andando via e a poco a poco diventavo sempre più forte. 
L'anno appena trascorso, invece, è stato pieno di emozioni, esperienze, insegnamenti, benedizioni. Ma adesso non mi aspetto nulla di tutto ciò. 
Il prossimo sarà sicuramente un anno faticoso, pieno di  rimpianti, duro lavoro, tristezza, delusione, crolli nervosi : ma io sono cambiata. So che posso affrontare tutto ciò rimanendo positiva ( lo so, può sembrare strano). Infatti, ho imparato che, mantenendo questo tipo di atteggiamento,  posso fare ogni cosa. 
Quindi, lasciamo che l'anno inizi. Non vedo l'ora di scoprirne ogni sfaccettatura. Le buone, le cattive, le inaspettate.

Go Zendaya! :D

Hi everybody :)

Today I would like to share with you an interesting example of how our society is 'stuck with prejudice', and it  somehow doesn't care about the fact that sometimes a simple prejudice, or a word expressed without any concern might hurt someone.
More in details, today I have focused my attention on Zendaya's reaction to criticism towards her outfit after her arrive at the Oscar. ( BTW she was amazing!)
For those of you who don't know her,   Zendaya Coleman is better known as Rocky in Disney's series "Shake-it up" in which she appears within the co-star Bella Thorne.  
She arrived at the Oscar wearing her hair in long dreadlocks, things which provoked a massive racial criticism, especially by the well-known E's Show, Fashion Police. 
She is not only super-talented, but also she has demonstrated how to deal with haters in a polite and perfect manner. 

This is her reply:

Happy Chinese New Year!

This has been a crazy incredible week! For the first time ever I joined a Chinese New Year celebration!
Plus, I got an amazing present as well!
Er...well, actually I just opened the door of my room and I found a small red envelope and a small package which ( I discovered later) was a fortune biscuit, a gift from my super-sweet friends!

Taylor Swift new song

"Style" is Taylor Swift new song!

I like the sound, I like the video, event though it seems to be a lot different than Taylor old songs', as well as the sound itself! 

And you can't honestly miss Dominic Sherwood, handsome and with two wonderful eyes. Why? Well, what would you say of a man like this, with a breathtaking gaze? :)

So, enjoy the video! :D 

"Style" è il nuovo singolo di Taylor Swift!

Mi piace molto il sound, il video, anche se mooolto diverso dagli altri, così come la melodia stessa d'altro canto!

Inoltre, non potete perdervi Dominic Sherwood, bellissimo e, con uno sguardo magico e meraviglioso. Perchè, vi chiederete...beh, voi cosa direste di un ragazzo così, con la particolarità di avere gli occhi di un colore diverso l'uno dall'altro? :)

Godetevi il videoo :D

-C.L 





"You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye
And I got that red lip classic thing that you like
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time
'Cause we never go out of style
We never go out of style"

'F' is for... Fearless!

Fearless!

According to the Oxford Dictionary the word 'fear' stands for an 'unpleasant emotion caused by the threat of danger, pain or harm'. Moreover, the word 'fear' comes from the Old English  fǣr, which means 'calamity, danger';  fǣran 'frighten', also 'revere', of Germanic origin; related to Dutch gevaar and German  Gefahr 'danger'.

This is to say that when we feel scared, it is because we are frightened by a possible situation of danger. Mostly, it is because we think that a possible danger, or a negative consequence might occur from that. Therefore, we lose ourselves in hamletic doubts regarding possible actions.
"Should I do that?Maybe not...", or as The Clash were singing, "Should I stay or should I go now?".

Everyone, at least once in a lifetime, has found himself in a situation as such. However, despite of doubts, fear, and uncontrolled flow of emotions, fear is not always negative, au contraire, it can be useful in plenty of situations.

"It feels like there's oceans
Between me and you once again 
We hide our emotions
Under the surface and tryin' to pretend 
But it feels like there's oceans 
Between you and me"

100.

A hundred days to go.
A hundred days to departure.
A hundred days to my old life.
A hundred days to warm weather.
A hundred days to hard-study summer session.

Should I feel happy?Sad?
It doesn't matter, I guess. The leading question should rather be: "How to get the most out of these days?"

The basic assumption is that time flies. I can't do anything but admit that I am a hardened procrastinator. I have been spending months, days, hours, seconds saying these few words as a response to all the possible inputs "I have loads of time". #Why am I sooo lazy.

Now, I feel like I have to do something. I feel even stressed, in a hurry. I feel unable to think properly about something to do, because there are plenty of things I would like to do.

Anyway, I'll keep you updated :) The countdown has officially begun ^^

Scared of heights?! London Eye?!

Hello everybody! :D
Here it is for you a collection of pictures of my incredible ( and scary ) experience on the 'London Eye'!
This amazing structure is also known as the 'Millenium Wheel' and it represents one of the main attraction for many tourists! Once you get on board of one of the 32 capsules, you have the chance to see all London Town from above, an experience which is to be considered "absolutely wonderful". 
I am so scared of heights, but thanks to my friends I have decided to overcome my fear and, honestly, it was worth of it! Maybe this can also give you a clue on this week 'FromAtoZ' topic. However, in the meanwhile, I hope you enjoy this small reportage!
With all my love,

I'm back!

Hello everybody!
I am sorry for this 'break', but unfortunately I had to deal with a huge amount of essays torturing me to death! And you know what? I'm not finished yet.
However, there are positive news: I am home.
I have to admit that leaving my beloved London was not easy, but as I wanted to spend my holidays with my family and friends, I had to make a choice.
We are coming closer to the end of this year, 2014, full of changes and amazing adventures. The unexpected is about to come and I still have to decide whether to feel excited or frightened.
In any case, I have to keep up with what I left behind in these days, so I promise I'll keep you update with all the new posts :)

Happy Christmas holidays!

-C.L


Ciao a tutti :)
Mi dispiace per questa pausa, ma ho rischiato di essere sepolta viva dall'incredibile mole di esami (eeeh già). E non sono ancora finiti!
Tuttavia, qualcosa di positivo c'è: sono tornata a casa.
Devo ammettere che lasciare la mia amata Londra non è stato affatto semplice, ma il desiderio di trascorrere le vacanze natalizie con la mia famiglia e i miei amici, era davvero forte. Insomma, dovevo prendere una decisione.
Ci stiamo avvicinando alla fine di quest'anno, il 2014, pieno di cambiamenti e fantastiche avventure. "L'inaspettato" sta per arrivare e, onestamente, devo ancora decidere se sentirmi eccitata all'idea o terrorizzata!
In ogni caso, devo assolutamente recuperare ciò che ho lasciato indietro in questi giorni, pertanto prometto di aggiornarvi al più presto con gli ultimi posts :)

Buone vacanze a tutti :)

Thanksgiving Day!

I know I might seem too sentimental. But that's worth it. I have another "D" for this week, which means Day.
Thanksgiving Day.
This is probably to be known as one of the most important national holidays in Canada and United States. So, you are probably wondering...what have an italian, an english, two chinese, a bangladeshi, an ukrainian and germans have to do together?

D is for Denitsa

Hi everybody! I am late again, I am really sorry! This story belongs to one of my friends, her name is Denitsa. This is a story about how the 'unexpected' turns to be the adventure we were looking for. Something to recall in future, something to tell. Something that could help you when you are getting down because things are no going as you have planned. 
This is a story to let you understand how amazing the 'unexpected' can be.

Can someone really define us?

I have to admit that I am always been interested in many different topics, areas of interest and issues. But at the end of the day, non of them were linked or connected, or 'on the same line'. None of them were consistent with each other.
That's probably why, my favourite subjects were English Literature, Philosophy, Physics, Maths, History and Art. I kept struggling in finding a main interest, something to feel passionate about.
Anything. No ideas. No new feelings. Emptiness.
This is the story. That's it.
Even trying to find something to study at Uni has been really hard. My reaction is still "Oh, interesting", to many things I have to study or to read. Full stop.
Yesterday night, as night bird as I am, I have decided to try few psychological tests as a quest for help. "Maybe I could easily understand something more about myself", I thought.
After many attempts, I found the Jung's conceptions about the psychological types.
After I completed a test, a kind of 240 questions which took more or less 40 minutes, I have received a complete analysis of my habits, emotions, way of thinking. And it was not that wrong, actually. 
I kept thinking about it all day, trying to use those things I read to find justifications for past failures, and situations and, above all trying to interpret myself according to definitions written by strangers.
It is really possible that a test can identify you so perfectly? I have always thought that human beings were so complex that all their infinite facets were impossible to be found, or interpret. You can come closer to it, but...is it true? I am in this way or in that way and there is no possibility for me to change? Fifty shades of human beings. That would have been a great best seller.
Of course, they warn you, " This is not to be taken for granted. Some people prefer doing things, activities which are completely incompatible within the way they are and they are successful".
But I keep thinking about the fact that, if I stick to those ideas, to those things I read because that's probably the way I am, where is improvement?Where is evolution? Does it mean that If I am shy and introvert, would be so hard for me to change and being in the spotlight?
I read about all the possible careers connected to my psychological profile which are perfect to me, nothing to say about it, but...should I follow the advice?
That's the point. Should I let a test, a definition, to define me as I am someone or something for which 'changes' are basically impossible?
Or maybe, I should take all the risks I can and see how those new things lead me.
Well, no one can give you the answer to all those main questions that occupy your mind. And no one, can actually tell you which is the way which most likely will bring you to success.
I firmly believe in the existence of our "own path" and each step is a step forward to what it is meant to be. Maybe those tests were a part of it.
So, come on, follow your way, make your choices, fail, fall and for God's sake, go on!

Happy Wednesday to everybody!

C is for Chloe

Hello everybody!
Today's story is going to be a little bit longer than usual.
I will not write or add anything more because I believe her story to be something to be inspired by.
I am really grateful to Chloe, and especially I am really glad she shared her story with all of us.
I really hope you will enjoy your reading. I think it's wonderful!

B is for Bryson

"I would like to share with you" he writes "one of my best memories".
"I met her during a party in which both she and I were high, but not too much that it could have been impossible, the day after, to remember anything. I still don't know what happened. In my mind, only her smile, her eyes. We met in a context which was not to be considered romantic or whatever. But she was there, and we met in a precise time. I keep asking myself what would have happened if we wouldn't have met in that precise moment, or if in that precise moment she would have decided not to go downstairs: these last three years, probably, would have never ever existed. So, I am glad I met her. I am glad she is still a part of my life."

'Serendipity' as concept has been introduced by Horace Walpole and used to describe the heroes of a fairytale called "The three princes of Serendip". In particular noteworthy is that its characters were used to find out what they needed even though they were not in quest of it, by accidents.  
So, both Bryson and his girlfriend, were not looking for each other or for love, but maybe they have been waiting for each other for a long time and now they are together. Serendipity or not, everything happens for a reason, and happiness is so unexpected that sometimes, we can just " find her " behind a corner, or in our friend's case, at the end of a staircase.
