Battling Depression. I Chose to Be Here
12th of October 2009. That’s the date I was diagnosed with Depression, Anxiety and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. I was 15 at the time, in high school, and couldn’t explain or comprehend when I was drowning. I thought I was weak—strong people didn’t need help. I didn’t understand.

Budgeting in Your 20s
"Everyone is broke in their twenties... and everyone hides from their bills." This is a quote from 2 Broke Girls that me and my flatmate use to help justify how bad we are at managing our money. We know we shouldn't buy that pizza, order that bottle of wine or shop for those shoes, but we do. I am weak willed and constantly avoiding checking my account so what should I change? What will I change? Probably nothing.

Luckily, by having a friend living in the city, I got to experience some fun and unusual things that I wouldn't have thought to do otherwise in Beijing.
