Time flies.

Time flies so much easier these days. I can't explain it but it's 8:30 pm and i've already worked a full day, had a pint with a friend, had dinner(a bit rushed though) and still have at least 4 more hours of free time. Maybe it's just me being very efficient with my time, but maybe we rush into things to quickly and go through life on high speed.

As we are coming to an end of this year, I am starting to think about my resolutions and one of them will definitely be to pause once in a while and take a moment to appreciate life and what I have. This past year I've learned to appreciate life quality more than anything and that it's really not worth being complacent. But there's nothing like a good kick in the ass to teach you that.

It's fairly strange how I set resolutions each year and as everyone else, I forget about them even the next day; but when i do the math at the end, somehow most of them I've managed to accomplish. Maybe my goals are not to high but this years included finding a new job and moving abroad again, learning 3 new skills and taking German lessons again; which I definitely consider accomplished.
So, with so little time before NYE, i'm starting to write my 2014 resolutions. Any suggestions? :)

How To Efficiently Spend Your First Salary

Situation: You have a new job, you're excited and you just received your first salary. What next?! Here are the best ways to spend it (in Dublin):

1.  Take a cab anywhere you go. It seems cheap but actually once you get used to it, you have a hard time letting go and end up taking it everywhere.
2.  Go to the worst club ever and instead of doing what everyone else does and just drink 2.5 euro beer, chip in for a bottle of whiskey.
3.  Go shopping almost very day of the week with a bad excuse like oh i just need socks, won't spend more than 10 euros and end up spending at least 10 times more.
4.  Eat out and order take out as much as you can.
5.  Buy groceries for your place even though you never eat at home and they just go bad.
6.  Say you have a costume Christmas party. Go all in! Spend as much as you can on an outfit that you will probably never wear again!
7.  Instead of quitting smoking, resume to spending almost 10 euros per pack
8. Get a contract deal for your phone with unlimited everything instead of pay as you go even though you obviously don't need it since your main communication method is fb, viber or whatsapp. 

Number 9 and 10, to be continued, the month is not yet over:)
