I moved to Helsinki from Petrozavodsk, Karelia, to study law there and, of course, to experience life in a new setting! There I will share my thoughts and photos of daily life in Helsinki and Finland as a whole.

What to choose?

I recall that at the time when my interview at Her Campus (click to read) was published, my day were less hectic. Today I was being interviewed for the third time of my Helsinki life, feeling puzzled how to manage time between law studies, language studies (even though I am happy to be relieved from Finnish language studying related struggles - this all happened so many years before!), favourite hobbies (I often see dreams when I am dancing  - I miss my dance team back home), networking and just relaxing. And it is still taking into acount the fact that being Karelian, I don`t need to get adopted to challenges Nordic weather is providing us with every day. Actually, moving to Helsinki was a good way to escape first snow at the middle of November.

However, Helsinki offers so many ways to struggle with autumn worries. It starts from the Fazer cafe and shop just around the corner, continues with student events of all types being held every day, dozens of Christmas decorations which makes me get into more festive mood. Not to mention Christmas calendars  - in Russia, we are just starting to have those (and still linked to New Year`s eve date, as far as I remember). It is just pity that some of them, with surprise toys, are tied for children, not adults, as the surprises are pictured on the package sticker. I just wish there was a special edition for grown-up children as well!

 And a good advice for such a book warm as me - just escape to terrace at the 7th floor of Kaisatalo and enjoy the breath of fresh air. Good both in sunny and rainy days!
