leuven girlz

So. These words are not my own, but I MUST share them! Cause they're perfect. One of my best friends here in Leuven, Kelsey, keeps her own blog... that you can check out here, cause she's awesome! Anyway.. she posted something a couple weeks ago about girls in Leuven, and what it takes to really "fit in" here. And it's so on point, it's insane. And it also explains why I don't really fit the typical-Leuven-girl stereotype. I hope you find it as amusing as I did!


1. Acquire infinity scarf. 

2. Wear absurdly colored skinny jeans, a leather jacket, and leather boots, with a leather bag. [Extra points for mustard-color pants.]

3. Bike. Drink your coffee while biking. Answer your phone while biking. Eat ice cream while biking. Text while biking. Have an extended conversation with your other two-wheeled comrades while biking. Let your friends sit on the back of the bike. Don't wear a helmet. Bike fast. 

4. Stay out until 6AM regularly on weekdays. It's fine; there's always at least a few bars open at any point, day or night. Go home on the weekends. 

I haven't quite mastered it yet.. but hey! I've still got two months.

I've got a post to come about my weekend at Evelyn's home & in Antwerp! Wheeee!
