Holidays or job?

Image
We have June. The weather is hot. This is not a surprise we all dream about holidays. For some of us, like me,  holidays means work. I really like my summer job because I spend a lot of time on fresh air, at the seaside. I am a lifeguard and a caretaker on summer camps. I enjoy working with kids who have amazing ideas. source The hardest part is to be serious when you want to laugh. For instance, last year, nine years old boy took from canteen the tea bags. I saw it one but I thought it's OK, maybe he wanted to drink some tea in his room. But few days later I came to his room to check if it was clean and I saw him, sitting on his bed with about hundred tea bags. He rolled them and glued with sticky tape so they can look like blunts! I really wanted to laught when I saw this, but he had to be punished. Fortunately, I wasn't the only caretaker and my friend helped me. There was also really unpleasant situations. It was my last camp previous summer. In one group we had two b...

Careless life

Image
Today is 1st of June and that's mean we have Day of Child in Poland. That's why I want to wish you a lot of hapiness, luck and carefree life like it was when we all were kids.  When we are kids we want to grow up, but when we grow up, we want to be kids. We always want to have something we can't have. And this is normal. But, in my opinion, it is important to take care of our "inner child". This world is full of bad news, seriousness and work to do, so we forget about being happy and careless. I know we all have our aims we want to achieve, we all have our responsabilities. But it is nothing wrong when we put it aside for a while and start to have fun. Moreover, we don't have to put it aside, we can have fun anyway. The point is to see good thing and these little thing we often don't even notice. They can make a difference. Everything can make a difference. We just have to see that. One smile can make someone's day better, one compliement can raise ...

My top 10

Image
The end of the semester is closer with every day and that's mean the students will have their final exams. It is not a news that this time foster to do anything but study. Especially when it comes to TV series and films we are defenceless. That's why Netflix give us an option to put our exams on September after we watch at least 6 episodes of TV series without a pause. But I don't want to write about Netflix today, I just want to give my TOP 10 of TV series I can't stop watching (but fortunately they have a break during final exams) 10. The Vampire Diaries source One of the first TV series I was watching. Commonplace history about a girl name Elena, who is falling in love with two brother. Sound banal, doesn't it? But it can cost you a lot of time, because the whole story is very compelling. 9. Shadowhunters source I was really sceptic about this TV series. I didn't like actors, I prefered a movie and what's more, I prefered the books, ...

Dura lex sed lex

Hi everyone! As you know I am student of French studies at University of Adam Mickiewicz in Poznań. But I am also student of law at the same university. That's why I want write today something about law. During my studies I noticed that a lot of people have no idea about law in our country. I don't think that we all should know criminal law, civil law or constitutional law very well, but I think that we all should know the basics. Our behaviour is usually limited by law - statutory law, common law or moral standards because moral standards are often fundamental norm of statutory law. To come back to our topic, we don't need to know every codification (the lawyers are for that), but I believe we should know these regulations which are important for us, e.g. labour law or medical law. Medical law is often forgotten by lawyers (except these who have a specialisation from health law) and it is real damage because it's really important. Health law adjust not only matte...

Sport - do something for yourself

Image
Some time ago I wrote about doing something for ourselves. We all need to take a break and rest, but no one said this rest can't be active. Sport is a great way for spending our free time or rest.  source For some people sport as a rest sounds ridiculous. Their main argument is that we are more tired after doing sport then before. They are totally right, but this type of tiredness is different. When we do sport our organism is more oxygen riched and it produce more endorphins which are called hapiness hormon. Doing sport not only improve our health and condition but also makes us happier. If we do training in the morning, we will have better humour and we will have more energy during the day. In turn - doing training in evening is a great way to relax after hard day. Of course, sport has a great influence for our health and condition which are very or should be very important for us. It can improve our lifestyle and our living standards. Sport is not just only for people w...

How easy destroy someone?

Image
What is the easiest way to destroy someone? The answer for that question is really simple. Rumors. They can destroy everything - opinions, friendships, relationships. Sad part of rumors is that we don't have an influence for them, they just are. But definitely we can fight with this "fake news". source Why I decided to write about this topic? Because a lot of people trust in everything what they hear. And that is our real problem. Sometimes we take the things what they are, we don't think about them. This is the cause of problems with rumors. We all need to be a little critical of what we hear. It is painful when people say about us things which are not the truth, even more when our friends or family really believe it, but we can't stop it. People talk and they always will. It's not a surprise that gossips can cause a lot of trouble. We attected each other because of jealousy, hate or other reasons. But after all this "trash" we can still hav...

Happy Easter!

Image
Hi everyone! I want to wish you happy Easter! I hope you spend a really great time with your family and friends, that you take a breath and gather strength for next challenges that will put life ahead of you. A little about Easter from my point of view... For me Easter is a really important time, even more since I moved to Poznań to study. I don't have a lot of time for my family now because of my duties. So when I go to home for Easter, this is the moment when everyone is in home, I can play with my little sister, talk all day with my mum and make jokes with dad. We spend time together and we really enjoy it. We can do this just twice a year, only on Easter and Christmas because when I go back to home just for weekend, my dad is usually in work, mum is busy and sister goes to differents competitons. So now is really important time for me. I hope you did spend your day as well as I did. One more time - Happy Easter!

Why do we think about others?

Image
In one of previous posts I promised to write something about our relations with other people. Why do we think about them? Why do we care about what they have or who they are? And what's more - why do we compare ourself with others? I think we all know the answers for these questions. First of all - we think about others when we care about them. In this group there is our family, our friends. People who also care about us. We have a strong bond so it is totally normal we think about them and that they think about us. Another thing is thinking about strangers or people we know but we don't have close relations. It is often connected with third question above. We compare ourself with them. If we are better than someone, we usually feel good. That doesn't matter in which part of life we are better. The most important is - we are better. If we are worse... There are to ways of thinking - we admire someone and we want to be like them, we are not jealous, we try to achieve...

Pretty little liars...

Image
"If I'm being honest..." sing The Chainsmokers in one of their songs (link to the song -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lsv5IeI8bA8 ). I don't know why we all are sometimes scared of the truth. I don't say that I always tell the truth because that's obviously a lie. Cast the first stone who source have never lied. We do this and I can't understand why. Sooner or later everything will come up and we will have more trouble than we would have if we said the truth instantly. There is also more pain for us and for the ones we lied.  Some time ago I did my own experiment. During one week I said only the truth. If someone asked me about my opinion, I said what was on my mind. I didn't lie, even if someone was expecting me to do that. After that week I lied but I couln't stand that more than 4 days. I had enough. Why? There are 3 major reasons. 1. Because making up the lies is a lot of harder than we expect. We're thinking we know what we...

Money and power

Image
Almost every little girl dream about being a princess, specially after watching a Disney's movie. Older kinds want to be a president or other famous people. They all have two things in common - money and power. source This is not a surprise that we like when someone do what we want to. People like spending money - that's not a news too. Every time I hear about this I ask myself an important question - why? If we want to have money or power (because unfortunately have money means have power), we have to work hard. That means we spend a lot of time doing something what very often doesn't make us happy. We want more and more and what we have is never enough. It shouldn't be like that. I know the money are necessary to live, because we need to pay the rent or buy the food. These things are essential, that's true. I also understand people who travel or doing something for themselves. But what I don't understand is put the money to the bank and left them there...

What do you need?

Image
We live in a strange world. When you do something for yourself you are called egoist. When you do something for someone, everyone thinks you have benefits because of that. And the biggest problem - why we think about others, what they do or have, instead of ourselves? (that's a problem for another post). We care about things we have to do, about time we have, about our problems. But we don't think about us. When did you last time think what you want to do? I'm almost sure you thought how you source can help your friends, about work to do, about everything concern you, but no about yourself. So now, take a minute, sit on your sofa, close your eyes. What do you need? What do you really want? It is not easy to think about ourselves in the world where you can easily be called egoist. You care about everyone, but you forget about yourself. And you should be the most important to yourself. There is no advantage of helping someone when you are not happy or satisfy. Even o...

Let's study!

Image
We can often hear that university will be the best time in our life. I was very sceptic about that phrase til I go there. When I think about the past I see a big difference in myself. I have changed a lot but I think that is for better. So what can university change in your life? 1. Way of thinking In hight school we learn because we have to. We go to classes because we have to. The main aim is to pass the class. There are not many students who learn for themselves. Even if I was, I never felt I learn for myself. Now I do. I do what I like, so this is not a problem to take my notes and read them. I know that will help me in the exam and thanks for good note on exam I will get a great job in the future. source 2. Attidute Positive attitude. Posivite people. Study is hard but it is easier to be an optimistic person. 3. Friendship The atmosphere is different at the university than in high school. There is a lot easier to find a real friends whith similar interestings. It...

Make dreams come true

Image
Travels are one of the best way to know yourself better. Specially when you travel alone. source Few weeks ago I went to France. Visiting Paris was my dream since I was a little girls and it finally came true. But this was the first time I traveled alone and it gave me another chance to know me. First of all - language. I was always afraid to speaking foreign language. But at the airport when the gate was beeping I didn't have a choice and I had to speak French. I was surprised how easy it was. A lot easier than I expected. Unfortunately when I am with someone I know I can't go through the wall in my mind and I can't speak so fluent or speak at all. Secondly - people. It is a great opportunity to know other culture and new people. This time I tried to see and listen instead of talking. And that was great. Paris always was to me a synonim of "magical place". And it is something like that. In Paris I finally felt I can do everything. Thanks for that I ...

Who you really are?

Image
source It is not really easy to find your place in the world. We always looking for something and we often forget what is life really about. Not money, not fame, not power. It seems important while we live, we want more and more and it's never enough. But in life the most important are people we live with. Our family, friends... It is important to find youself, make your dreams come true. You will never satisfy all, that is not possible. The only person you have to satisfy is you, no one else. Unfortunetely, people often forget about that. They work all the time instead of spending time with their families. They pretend someone else just to achieve something they want or need. Stop here for a while. Think about yourself. Who are you? What you like? What you really want? Look at the mirror. What do you see? Do you like it? At first sight, these are not hard questions, right? Just in theory. Often these questions are the most unlikely. Why? Because we are scared the answers for t...
