I had a dream, I had an awesome dream...

Do you know that song? And of course, you know the feeling of having a dream to pursuit, which gives you the strength to carry on, to wake up with a smile, to be ready to grab any opportunity, to follow your own plan for success and to appreciate every little something you receive from life.

Millions of people have written wise things about dreams. The topic is as broad as the one for love and I am not going to comment on it. My purpose when writing this blog is just to tell you about one of my dreams and how it became reality.
I believe there are many girls and boys who share the same goals and feel the same way as I did. So.. here is how it all began for me.

During our last two years at high school, me and my closest friend used to spend many hours discussing our near future. We did a lot of research on what is the best place to continue our education. I must admit that the idea of studying abroad and particularly in The Netherlands was hers (ok, I stole it, so what? :P). I guess you know what is the next step after you have already decided to go oversea. I was preparing for the TOEFL test and meanwhile I was reading universities' web-sites and foreign students' blogs. Of course the second part was much more fun (a good starting point is www.nuffic.nl, or just www.google.com if you prefer :)). At first I was 90% sure that what I want to study is definitely tourism or leisure management - so I checked all the universities in The Netherlands that offer these programs. But something was missing. I realized that I like it but I want more. You know that it is in our nature to be curious, no matter what. That is why we want to explore everything and learn. As I consider myself as a communicative person who needs to be among people and to exchange information I thought that there must be something that suits me better than the programs mentioned above. That is why when I went on one of the international fairs which was held in my home country, I took some brochures not only for tourism and leisure management but also for some other programs. Then, I finally found what is missing in the 'tourism' story - have you heard about 'International Communication Management'? Well, those three words changed my decision completely. This was an entirely new challenge for me, a complete reversal, a new route and this time - the right one.

So, here I am in The Hague - the city where I wanted to live and studying International Communication Management in The Hague University - exactly what I wanted to do. I know it sounds like a cliche but I cannot be happier. This university and this program gave me so much by far. Probably, you have heard people saying that the best time of one's life is the time you spend in college/university. Next time when someone says this to you - give them five.

I am here only for five months and I feel like I can write a few novels about all the things that happened since the day I have arrived. There was not a single minute of boredom. I am so glad that I have never created a prison for my dreams. My advice for you is the same - just let them be. That is the easiest way to get what you truly desire in life.

No matter how eager I am to share everything with you, it is just not possible. However, I will try to give you as clear picture as I can of what I am going through. To make this easier for both me and you I would like to ask you to do one thing for me - do not hesitate to ask me anything (really! anything!) you want.
