ABOUT ME
Hmmm.. actually I don't know where to start... it's always hard to describe yourself..I am almost 20 years old and grew up in Steyr (a small town near Linz in Upper Austria). At the moment I work but I'm planning to go to England because I'd love to study in England and maybe stay in England and live there forever. Actually I'm a real fan of Great Britain - I love the landscape, language, people, culture - almost everything! :)As you can see in my profile (Interests) I'm a volunteer working at the Red Cross because I love to help other people and I'm really interested in Medicine. That's why I also want to study Medicine...I am an HONEST and OPEN-MINDED person - and I also expect that from other people!!! Being honest is really important for me and in my opinion an awful truth is always better than a well-meant lie! I am - as I already mentioned - honest, open-minded, creative, outgoing, inquisitive, adventurous, polite and I really like to go out, party and to have a good time! I love wild party nights, meeting new people, enjoying good live music and just having fun! But I also love to have a nice and relaxed evening, talk, watch a good movie and maybe drink a good glass of wine (or sth else)...What you should know about me: I am a night owl that sleeps as long as possible and my flat is not always as tidy as it could/should be.... but I'm very adaptable and I think I'm an easy-going person and I'm easy to live with...I think it's important to live life to the fullest and to do what you want because we only have one life and we never ever know how much time we have! When you want something - then go for it! Don't waste your time with things like false friends, being mad at someone, deceitful hopes or anything that doesn't make you happy! My motto is: Live each and every day as if it's your last and never regret something that once made you smile!!! (or at least try) ;)
PHILOSOPHY
What you don't want to happen to you - don't do it yourself either.

"I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I am not" - Kurt Cobain
"No one is interested in a shopping list of excuses about why it’s not going to happen for you, you’ve just got to go out and do it." - Mark Webber
“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”
― John Lennon
"Man is the only animal that blushes. Or needs to." - Mark Twain
And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye. - Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned. - Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha)
Home is not where you live, but where they understand you. - Christian Morgenstern
Wisdom begins in wonder. - Socrates
An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind. - Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Mahatma Gandhi)
The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it... I can resist everything but temptation.
- Oscar Wilde
The only way to have a friend is to be one. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
To be able to throw one's self away for the sake of a moment, to be able to sacrifice years for a woman's smile - that is happiness. - Hermann Hesse
Life is without meaning. You bring the meaning to it. The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be. Being alive is the meaning. - Joseph Campbell
