All I do is win
You know how sometimes you need a pep-talk, and there's nobody around to give you one? Or you feel bad for needing a pep-talk before taking a phonecall, or going outside, or you know whatever. I know I do! I made a playlist on spotify for that!
Some of these songs are on this list purely based on the name, some because they make me feel better in situations where mt anxiety might kick in. But they are all here because I like them, so there you go!
If you want to find my playlists on spotify you kan click here, or search my name "Cecilie Othilie Mikalsen" you will find the music I listen to there . I also change the list in my sidebar on the 1st of every month!

Feeling Lost.
I get inspiration from everyone, and everything around me. This time, it's Youtube, Will Darbyshire to be exact. You can find his video about feeling lost here.
After high school, at the age of 19, I went straight to college to become a kindergarten teacher. Long story short, I dropped out because it just wasn't my thing. Instead I got a job in a kindergarten ( oh, the irony!), I stayed there for almost four years. I was lost. I didn't know what I wanted to be when I grew up. I still don't, to be honest. Though I've started to narrow it down a bit.
Last october I decided that I wanted to go back to school, and as the impulsive person I am I could not wait another minute! It was now or never, so to speak. This is where online classes come in. I sent in a application, paid an absurd amount of money for something I could have gotten for free had I waited another nine months. But who's got time for that? I've always been interested in food, and how food can make you sick/better. Can food substitute medisine? I find this subject so fascinating! An that is the short version of the story of why I'm studying to become a nutrionist.
Yesterday I got an exam back. I got a C.. And all of a sudden I'm like; Meh.. Do I really want to go to school? Am I really THAT interested in this? I felt like all my hard work and my effort wasn't worth it. In all honesty, I was devastated. I know I might come off as if I don't really care. But I do in fact spend day and night studying by myself. Just because I spend a couple of hours around noon doing other things, like struggling with getting my photos edited exactly how I want them to look, does not mean that I don't put in an effort at all when it comes to school, because I do.
Pretending like I don't care is my safety-net, if things don't go my way, no one will ever know how much I actually wanted it to happen. Except for me, I'll know.
Fast forward to a pep talk from the current love of my life, and I'm feeling better. It's just a C. My first C, it's not to bad. And should I want to, I can always retake the test. No biggie. I realise now that I sound like an absolute basketcase. I'm not, I promise. Or maybe I am, who really knows anymore? This was not where I wanted to go with this post. What I do know; is that I'm going to take my teacup back to the couch, read another few pages about muscles, and then call it a night.

Confessions pt. 2
At the age of 13 (or maybe 12?) I was obsessed with the Olsen Twins. I had a blog of some sort about them (I can't remember for the life of me where, I have a feeling the website is closed though) I had so many pictures of them on my computer, and on the walls of my bedroom. Also, my friend and I called eachother Mary-Kate and Ashley, I think I was Ashley. Oh, the good old days!
When I find an Instagrampage I like, there's a chance I will spam them and like EVERY SINGLE picture they have ever posted. Every now and again you will find that one page where every photo speaks to you, and you LOVE (yes, capital letters are nessesary) every single one, and you just can't help yourself. You just have. to. like. all. of. them.
If I'm hungry or craving something to eat, I go on Instagram and search for pictures of this spesific craving, and I look at pictures until the craving has passed.. No joke, I once sat for an hour looking at pictures of pizza. I liked a lot of them too. But, hey! It works!
I don't drive. Nor have I got any intention of beginning in the near future. I do however need to get a driverslicense. So I'll atleast have the possibility of getting somewhere, should I have to. But honestly, not having a license is my best excuse to stay home when there is somewhere I do not want to go. Like the doctors or anywhere I'm supposed to be mingling in the crowd.
I don't do laundry. That's saved for special occasions, like when my only options are promdress to work or a load of laundry, and even then the chances are 50/50.

Sometimes, when I should be doing something else. Like my schoolwork. I take photos instead, or I spend an absurd amount of time editing them to my liking. I should be so good at it, considering the amount of work I put into it. But you know, we can't all be gifted!

Following a make-up tutorial: How hard can it be?
As it turns out, not as hard as I feared it might be. For this I followed this tutorial by Lauren Curtis.
I didn't use ANY of the same products as her, but opted for the ones I already had at hand. I own exactly one lipstick, which is why the color is all wrong, but oh well
I don't wear a lot of make-up, and I do not know what I'm doing, which is why I decided to go with one that looked fairly simple to follow, I'm sure if I went for a full party look I would have struggled so much more. Turns out winged eyeliner is more than enough for me! (-:

Confessions Pt. 1
I don't remember my first kiss
Whenever I don't want to do something, I make up excuses not to. As a child I would have to "ask my mom" before doing anything I didn't really want to, she said "no" a lot.. Didn't even know she did it, poor thing.
If I'm having a bad day and someone comes over unannounced I pretend I'm not home.
I fell off the monkeybars as a child, like a lot.
I'm extremely afraid of the dark, and wild animals, and open sea. I'm generally a scared little human being.
I hate cleaning. Sometimes I don't but say I did. Spray a little soap in the corners, no one will know.
At 23 years of age I still get celebrity crushes, and they change multiple times a day. So far this week: Niall Horan, Andy Biersack, Seth MacFarlane and Jason Segel.
When doing the dishes I sometimes let the cutlery go for another spin. I like to think of it as a roller coaster that the love, and I'm letting them go for another round, because I'm so nice like that.
Tell me your confessions, I'm dying to know! (-:

Insecurities
I don't talk too much about being insecure. It's a part of who I am, and I embrace it for what it is, but it doesn't define me. As I've grown older I have realised that most of us have insecurities about something, it may be small insecurities that does not affect your day to day life, or it's larger insecurities that define every waking moment it.
Time has taught me that you can't judge a book by it's cover. You'll never be able to tell how someone really are just by looking at them. The biggest bitch you've ever met, the quiet girl in the corner or the nice and popular guy with loads of friends may all have insecurities as far as we know. Some of us don't want to talk about it, and we should respect that by not pressing them for information, let them be, it's ok not to know everything. If someone does want to talk about it, but you feel uncomfortable in that situation, tell them. I'm sure they will understand.
Nothing hurts more than having someone else point out your insecurities. They may not mean anything by it, or maybe it's just a small comment in a bigger conversation. Nevertheless, it hurts like a bitch if you say the wrong thing.
So, please: Be nice to people, think before you speak and smile to a stranger once in a while, you might make someone's day.
