It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
We have felt November on our skin for some time now, which means that December is right around the corner. Once we’ve had our fill of pumpkin spice, apple pie, spooky halloween times, and the leaves begin to fall, we’re constantly encouraged to get into the Spirit of the Season; Christmas. Can you really believe…
Dare to be vulnerable
“Being an artist means forever healing your own wounds and at the same time endlessly exposing them.” – Anette Messager. I have no idea who Anette Messager is, but that was the quote written on a t-shirt that I bought in South Korea. Don’t get me wrong, I do love sounding like a pretentious prick,…
The EU – Europe’s knight in shining armour or downfall?
These days, many of the national laws are triumphed by the decisions made by the European Union. Yet there is a record low turnout for the EU-elections with only 51% of Swedes voting in 2014. Having these numbers in mind, it is clear that the Swedes relationship to the EU is not all problem-free. With…
What the hell am I going to do with my life?
At this point in my life, I am asked daily what I am going to do with my life and what my future plan is. «Wow, are you studying your sixth semester? Are you writing your bachelor thesis? What are you going to do when you are done?» These are questions presented to me on…
Tinder shamed.
I’m a relationship virgin. God, it feels weird admitting that. Even though it’s a truth which probably a lot 20 somethings can relate to, I feel strangely ashamed of not having been in a serious relationship before. It’s like I’ve missed something intrinsically important about adult life. As if I don’t understand how the parliament…
Made out of wood, not steel.
Sometimes, I get the urge to expand my carbon footprint, so I go to Copenhagen airport and take an Easyjet flight. Strolling around Kastrup, I love going to the book shops and checking out what new airport literature is hot. Airport literature is a genre in itself, it is either a self-help book disguised as…
Mean streets
There’s nothing quite like Lund in fall. Cyclone winds. Rainstorms more frequent and punctual than 8 AM lectures. The seemingly never-returning sunshine. Lots of things to complain about in other words. However, there is one Lundensic concern that is not periodical like the weather. When you step out in the streets you are stepping…

The great leap to conclusions
When H&M a couple of months ago announced a sweater for sale with the text “coolest monkey in the jungle” they probably were not prepared for the gigantic backlash that was about to hit them. Denunciations from celebrities, medial outcries, H&M stores in South Africa vandalized because of the rage. The core of the issue…
How to recover from a break up with your younger, perkier self
It’s hard to avoid hardcore enjoying the life of a University student. Especially early on in your studies. My first two or three semesters of the Bachelor’s Programme in Business and Economics basically consisted of three things: not attending lectures, drinking alcoholic beverages at noon (you know this thing called pre-pre-pre-drinking that one does before…
