Future Plans

As my graduation is approaching, decision have to be made about what I am going to be occupied with the rest of my life. To be honest, this decision for me is a very hard one to make.Within a few months, I have to have made the decision where, and more importantly, what I will be studying the next years. I have been doubting between medicine and International Business Administration. 

People always tell me 'wow, both these studies are world's apart!' I understand where those people are coming from, but I do not fully agree with them. I know that when I become a business women, I won't be able to cure people. However, both studies involve a lot of interaction with other, which is crucial to me. I love communicating with other people and opening myself up to them, therefore I can't imagine myself working in isolation. 

My ultimate dream job would be to start my own business, especially a fashion-related business. I am not talking about designing clothes or anything, because I know I am not the best fashion-designer. I would love to take care of the business-related stuff of the company. 

But this branch is very unpredictable. You never know where you would end up when starting the International Business Administration study. That is exactly where my doubts are coming from, scared of taking the big leap. 

Medicine on the other hand, would be a safe option to go for. People who study to become a doctor are being guaranteed to obtain a job in the Netherlands. I know I would always adore being a doctor, and I have always said I will become a doctor one day. But ever since the big decision is moving closer, I have been starting to doubt enormously. I don't know whether to do what is right and safe or to take the risk..

My Skincare Routine

Although I love wearing make up and trying out new looks, I think maintaining a clear skin is the most important aspect of beauty. Once take care after your skin in a proper way, your make up will look even more beautiful! I do not believe in using a enormous amount of products, as you can see in my skincare routine. I use these products everyday, from the moment I wake up.

Let's Talk About Books: Inferno

When I first heard the name 'The Da Vinci Code', I was convinced of the fact that I would never turn into the type of person who reads those books. I changed my mind however, when we went on a school trip to France. A girl brought the film 'The Da Vinci Code' with her so we could watch it during the trip. Although I am a firm believer of reading the book and watching the film afterwards, this film made me feel intrigued in the world of mysteries and secrets. 

Right now, a few years later, I have become an absolute fan of Dan Brown's work. I have read the 'The Da Vinci Code' twice (I know.. ) and 'The Lost Symbol' and 'Angels and Demons' did follow later. When 'Inferno' was released, I was thrilled. 

Keeping in the back of my mind that this book would probably be his best, I started reading. To be honest, I had quite a hard time getting into the flow of the book. Usually I become swallowed up by a Dan Brown work, with Inferno, this wasn't the case. 

A lot of story lines are present throughout the entire plot. Sometimes, I did not understand why some of the characters were given such an extended, detailed storyline, since they weren't of mayor importance to the main story. The story overall seemed a bit cliché to me and the unexpected turning-point in the book wasn't as unexpected as figured. 

These thoughts about the book might have been a mistake in the end. I jumped into it with the idea that this book would blow me away completely, and maybe this was wrong. All in all, I quite enjoyed reading the book as a whole, but I do not think 'Inferno' can be called Dan Brown's masterpiece.
