Too soon, but I'm moving

To my small group of audience who followed me from the day I re-published my official grown-up blog until now (because five months seem like quite a journey), thank you for being there; for quietly supporting and following my blog posts.

Now that I have officially named this year a superb one with new experiences, challenges, and improvement. I decided to move my blog to a new site! A site I have never tried using before because I was afraid of change, I was afraid of something I cannot truly control, I got too comfortable in this scene. But now is my time to explore the unknown and make most of the world my playground.



After much contemplation and exploration through their website, I decided that it might be better for me to move to Wix! Not that I don't love my blogspot space but I find it better to navigate around Wix. In terms of choosing a template, theme, and editing- I think Wix does a good job in keeping it user-friendly and appealing (minus the Wix ad going on, on the upper-right corner and entire lower area on my blog). Nevertheless, it was a nice experience editing my blog there, I didn't have my usual breakdowns on why some apps or images are where they're not supposed to be or just totally not showing up. 
Surprisingly, I never went to the "edit html" part on Wix which I usually do here in blogspot. I actually know a little bit about html since maybe 6 years ago for the sake of cleaning up stuff in my blog but usually it gives me a mental migraine just fixing codes. It's so refreshing to know that I don't have to go through "edit html" to edit anything!

Anyway, here's the link to my new blog:

Hope you find it better too! Also, don't forget to click the little social media links and follow me on Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr and Pinterest. While you're at it, comment on my very first blog post in my new blog! I really had fun adding the comment box on there.

Cheers! Laarni, xoxo

New Year, New Me: 2016

Of course I know, how cliché Laarni. If you've known me for a while, I find joy using sarcasm in mainstream phrases or actions. Just (partially) kidding. As you've noticed, I haven't posted anything in two months! So much for promising myself that I can maintain a blog now. However, 2016 has been really good to me so far. I feel more motivated this year more than ever! I started with not overloading myself with 5 courses instead, I opted for 4 so I can focus on joining school clubs, getting more work hours, focusing more on my readings, and finally stressing out a bit less. Taking 4 courses and working in a place I can truly call my second home are the best choices I've done so far this year.

2015 has been a year of discovery. I learned a lot throughout the year; what my mistakes were and never do the same thing again. I guess I can call it my 'Dark Ages', almost complete detorioration of who I was. The only thing getting me by was the small light of hope I see while my Fall classes progress (if you don't know yet, I'm a Political Science undergrad who's trying to get into policy making or something related in the future), two of my Poli Sci courses were very active in local and international events. We talked about almost everything I need to be aware of as a Poli Sci student who just wants to do justice in this world, and create progressiveness for every individual (because humanity is my core). This year: I will be taking all those I've learned from my classes, from the people I shared interests with, from the events I went to, and some personal life lessons and I will make this a great and productive year, a.k.a my year of 'Enlightenment'!


To start off, I joined two school clubs which says so much about me: The Environmental club and International Socialist club. Both clubs have ethical virtues which I full-on support, part of me joining this club is a not-so-wild idea of me turning Vegetarian. If I did decide to finally make the move, I will let you know why (I believe the reason deserves an entire post dedicated only to the reason why I turned Vegetarian [or vegan, who knows]).
Lastly and truly exciting for me, I'm starting a Youtube vlog with three other ladies! I met these two girls in my current school, Langara. All of us seemingly have different styles but when we get together, it's nothing but pure fun! We all share the same interests in make-up, fashion, food, and the Vancouver fun life. Not to mention we're all diverse ;) Watch out for Threedegrees.Vancouver and don't forget to Subscribe!
