Language & makeup enthusiast living between Finland and Lithuania Copywriter, Translator & Lithuanian Language Tutor for a living. Helsinki Uni student
I am at a shop, they have already started selling Halloween stuff, I can’t take this anymore
Maybe I should write my thesis about indigenous people and the digitalisation of their languages, smth smth. Livonian and Sami smth smth
Just saw an American with the messiest English grammar and, as a non native speaker, got offended! I always tell my Lithuanian language students that native speakers are no role models
I am not as clever as my uncle who can google answers to my thesis in 5mins, så I keep coming back for them student discounts
Just saw someone on LinkedIn with a frame that reads ‘MarriedToWork’
Sooo, Lithuanian language tutor news. If anyone knows a busy bee or from the states, Canada who would want to learn Lithuanian, we can arrange Saturday times for September and onwards
Varbūt kāds pazīst kādu tulkotāju, kas nodarbojas ar tieši juridiskajām lietām? Man te ir amerikānis, kurš grib iegūt Latvijas pilsonību un meklē kādu, kas varētu kvalitātīvi pārtulkot dokumentus
I feel so stressed out about financing my studies I am beginning to think it was a mistake
Tfw you read in the news that a guy from your school (maybe one class older, I don’t remember exactly) drowned in the Baltic sea. He was 30. Scary when you’re barely 30 and people of your age are already dying.
If you end up on a boat with me, do make sure it’s the photo on the right and not left…
Looked up the Finnish job market again. I feel sorry for fellow international students. It’s just really cooked. Job vacancy posted within the last 24h and already over 100 applications submitted. It’s either you manage to get your way in some qualified job or you’re f…d
My favourite thing about Finland is that I just got a free, perfectly working microwave from the neighbours and the other week we got a free washing machine from people who had just got a new one
Next month I will spend two weeks in Vilnius, then a week of uni activities in Helsinki and then I am moving to Vantaa. I will probably spend weekends in Tampere, but still. Feels like a goodbye to the city of lakes ❤️🩹
Taking a break from working can mean financial suicide, but I really really needed this ❤️🫠
Everyone is så excited about Adamkus’s 100th bday coming up, I am even worried he might get overwhelmed and… die chicago.suntimes.com/chicago-hist...
Besides Obama, Chicago produced a second president, and he's about to turn 100
Former Lithuanian President Valdas Adamkus spent half his life in Chicago and ran the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Great Lakes regional office before going home to serve his country.

I’ve always been a hopeless humanist. Math caused me awful anxiety, Physics intrigued me, but I felt too dumb for it, Chemistry was my least favourite. Sometimes I feel like joining some Math course for adults and trying to pass the national Math exam. To prove smth.
In Lithuania, cultural world is where capitalism ceases to exist. Not even socialism, there is some form of..anarchy. The cultural magazines and newspapers are funded by the state. They do compensate you, but it’s unacceptable to negotiate the price - you must be happy for whatever you get
I am already used to the American time zones from the East Coast, Midwest as well. But West Coast? I have no idea when their messages or emails will arrive. They terrify me!
I see all European far righters have always been liberal, as of today. They love gays and LGBT+ prides, never had a problem with trans people, they have always been super protective of their rights.
Economically, I am having second thoughts about getting a Master’s degree. Does the economy really even need that anymore? I have many friends with MA degrees stuck and struggling in the market
I double dare you walk and chill on the road like you do on the cycling lane
I have heard of a Bear Dog from that region, I am sure he would fix them thar Cycling Bears!
