After dinner my family and I decided to watch an old video tape from when we were younger. The first one was from 1995, that’s like 15 years ago (no shit, Sherlock)! We were on vacation in Limburg (south of the Netherlands) and my siblings and I were so cute, especially my little brother. He was 2 at that time and he was the most adorable little boy ever. My sister and I were getting along and we were playing and running around like nothing else mattered.
The other video tape was from 1997, and even though it was only 2 years later, and we all look like it’s still from the same summer, little things have changed. We moved into my grandmothers house, who died the previous year, we hung out with friends and fashion changed a tiny bit.

However, now, fifteen years later, EVERYTHING has changed. Off course, we  grew up, my siblings and I learned how to stand on our own feet, instead of letting our parents decide everything. But the relations between us changed too. I didn’t really get along with my sister in the past 15 years, my brother could be really annoying and my parents and I had our discussions too.
I’ve got other friends now, not the same friends who are in the videotapes.

Why did I pick this subject for my first ‘real’ blog? Because I wonder what will change in the upcoming 15 years. Will I still be friends with the people I talk to now? I really hope so.. otherwise we wouldn’t be talking at this moment.. doh! But it has proven that 15 years can change everything. Like my sister and I. We used to get along, then we didn’t get along. But now we do get along again.

I sometimes am afraid of what will happen in the comming 15 years, but then I look back at the previous 15 years. I am happy now! Lot’s of things have happened in the past, I enjoyed them or learned from them, and I’ve became a better person (or at least, I hope I did).

So whatever happens in the future, everything what will happen, will stay with me to become what I will be in 15 years.

Oh, and if this blog entry confuses you (it even confuses me a bit), don’t worry, it’s only my first blog.. Practice makes perfect.. aight?

Hi, I’m Patricia. You can see a picture of me in the banner. Yes, that really is me. Those pictures were taken at Summer in the City 2010 in London, but that’s not what we’re talking about here.
I am a 21 year old student from the Netherlands. Yes, that is that little country next to Germany. To the people who aren’t from Europe who think the Netherlands is the same as Amsterdam; you’re wrong. Amsterdam is the capitol of the Netherlands, and I don’t live near the city. Ok, the Netherlands is not that big of a country, so ‘near’ is subjective.. Let’s just say that I life at the other side of the Netherlands. Like in the north. Why am I telling you all this? Well, now you know that English isn’t my first language, so I might make mistakes.

Ok, enough about the Netherlands, onto the things that I do in my life. As I mentioned, I’m a student. I study Leisure Management at the Stenden University. You know, organizing events and stuff like that. Really interesting, to be honest, but I’m not gonna bore you with the details (unless you want to know them, just leave a comment ^^).

Next to my study, you must know that I’m a nerd, which means I spend a lot of time reading and being silly on the interwebs. Yes, I am a HUGE fan of Harry Potter and I am a Nerdfighter (if you don’t know what that is, watch this video please).
This also means that I spend a lot of time on Youtube. I try to vlog every now and then, but I fail miserably. Forgive me.. =D

Other than that, I have lovely parents, by whom I stay every weekend (I’ve got a room where I live during the week) and I’ve got two siblings; an older sister and a younger brother.
I’ve grown up in a small village, so naturally I want to live in a city now. Small villages are just.. so annoying!

Anyway, if there are things you want to know about me, please ask me in the comments!

Now you know who I am, let’s start this thing, shall we?

What can you expect from my site? Well, I’ll try to blog at least once a week, but since I never blogged before (I know, SHAME ON ME), let’s see how it works, ok?

Let’s just try to get a nice page first, then write a blog, and then I’m gonna share this link with others, ok? So it could be that you are reading this post AGES from now.. oh well..

So yeah.. Hi future reader! ^^
