Heelllooo,
as you may know I do live in England for a year, that means I'm living away from my family and friends. This is of course extremly hard. Especially at this seasion of the year because every time I'm in town I can see all the festive decoration and this makes me, obviously, very sad that I can't spend this time of the year with my beloveds.
A lot of times I do lay in bed, thinking of my family and friends and missing them but what can you do against it?
Honestly, I havn't got any 'receipe' against it, I only can tell you what I try to do. So first of all I try to keep myself busy. Do a lot of things with the new people I met here and explore England. Keep myself busy with travelling. Beside of that I do try to keep in contact with my freinds. I do write with them on Facebook, Whatapp or wherever extremly often and I also do Skype with them as often as I can. I try to keep everybody updated in whats going on in my life and I also do want to know whats going on in their lifes. So I also do try to write them little postcards from the places I've visited and send them some little packages with typical english things in them, with things I do know they will be very happy about. And seeing them being happy about this little act of freindship makes me happy again.
Before I came here I also prepaired myself with a lot of pictures of them. I did a little photo album of my best friend and me with a lot of special memories we shared together. I also put a few pictures in frames which are now in my room and I have a standing photo album from my mum which shows my family. I alsways look at them when I'm in my room which let me forget a bit that they are so far away from me.
But I do know from friends here where I live now, that everybody has their own little rituals and little things which make them missing a bit easier. Some write letters with their friends and family, some do fly back home every holiday and even on the weekends some times, some arrange special times with their friends where they do the exact same thing at the exact same time and record that via skype, some film everything they do and send it to them, but nearly everybody always is sending voicemails. So do I. I think it's an amazing thing to hear the voices of your friends and family even during the day and then you don't have the feeling that they do live hunderts of kilometres away from you.
But in the end everybody has to find their own way of coping with the situation and finding the little tricks for theirselves of making the situation easier for them.
Lots of love,
Jen ♥

Fan girls
Heelllooo,
today is going to be a bit different then usual. Today I was sitting in my room and listening to music and thought about fan girls. So if you are no fan girl or you hate them so you have to skip this blog post today! Sorry!!! And if you are a fan girl feel free to continue reading and share your thought in the comments below.
First I do want to make something clear: I don't talk about any specific artist or fanbase. Just my thought in general.
What defines a fan girl? If they buy every merchandise? They have all albums and EP's? Follow them on twitter, instagram, facebook or any other social plattform? I don't think so. I think you are a fan girl if you do enjoy listening to the music and you support the artist. No matter if it's with buying everything of the artist or tell your friends about them.
Because artist have so many fans, they develop a fanbase and these fans going to stick up together. The fans are starting creating facebook groups where you can join a big family and share your experiences, your thoughts and your feelings. They start to run update accounts, which are followed by thousends of users.
I do want to talk about these groups for a second. When I was in my room today I thought about these groups and I noticed how amazing this is. I am in a group myself and I read through some comments and I never really realized how amazing the people are to each other. They support each other, help them with advises to all types of topics and it is an amazing plattform where you can express your feeling toward the artist without getting judged by others because everyone feels the same there. The people do not only start to supporting their favourite artist, no, they also start friendships. I personally found a friend through a artists and I'm so happy to meet her. You genially can meet very nice and friendly persons there if you are willing to meet new people.
Fan girls are so much more than only 14 year old screaming and crying girls, who can't control their feelings because they are in puperty. There are also older girls who like to conact to others in their age who feel the same way or finding someone who wants to join them at meet ups or even going to a concert together because you don't have a friend who likes the same music and would join you to one. Media can show a total wrong image about them and this is the reason why so many people (I think especially older people) have a wrong imagination about these fanbases.
They think about girls in the street, desperate to see their idols, who would do everything to meet them. Of course every fan girl would love to meet their favourite artists but not all fan girls are like this. This is only a very few percentage of girls like this.
But anyway, what I wanted to say is, that I really admire how dedicated fans can be and I think fanbases are an amazing plattform for all types of persons because this is for so many people a escape to the real world, where they can be exactly who they are or who they wanna be without being judged or critizied.

Don't stop believing
Heelllooo,
today I'm going to tell you something you already know: Don't stop believing!
You do have a dream to do something or to become something, why don't go for it? Ah right, there are family, friends, teachers and some other random persons who are telling you the whole time you can't reach your dreams! I nearly forgot about them. Sorry. You do want to you know why I forgot them? Because I don't care what these persons are saying!
I was dreaming to come to England after my graduation for 6 years now, but everybody I know always thought I'm never going to make it. But you know what? Here I am in England! I made it!
If I can do that why can't you do it then?! No matter what you are dreaming of, you always have to remind yourself if you do believe in yourself you can achieve everything you want to!
Want to become a doctor? Okay, I'm going to learn for my next class test instead of reading this boring blog. Want to do music? Okay give me a instrument and I practice as hard as I can to become the best musician I can be. Want to live abroad? What possibilities are there?!
There are so many things people want to achieve and do and so many people reach their goals so why should I fail in it?
Let us take a look on someone who really achieved a lot in his life because he work very hard. (Even if you don't like him please try to see my point behind it!!!)
There was a little blond irish boy back in 2010 who wanted to be the best musician he can be, so he went to 'the X Factor'. Even though the judges didn't believed in him soo much he made it through the first round and before he could even realise what's happening he was in the biggest boyband these days. But he didn't make it into this band and is as successful as he is at the moment without working his butt of. He is working extremly hard for it to live his dream and to honest he really is living the dream.
As you may or may not already know, I talk about Niall Horan of One Direction. I do not write this because I'm a big 1D fan or anything, I do write this because I really admire how hard he worked and this always shows me that no matter who you are and where you from you can achieve the goals you are following. So if he achieved it why can't I achieve it then?!
Always remind yourself that there a plenty of people out there who dreamed about something and made their dreams come true because they worked for it. So don't put yourself down, you can do so as well!
