Erika's World

Hello! So I was going through photo booth and found some old pictures from when I lived in California. Look at me. I look completely different, but also this was five years ago. So many memories. your writer, Erika

Hi everyone! I have been really bad at updating lately but to my excuse I have had a lot of school and work lately. Mostly school. I have had a paper that I had to write. Gosh I hate Swedish university. Compared to this I really liked going to college in California. But I think that I am forgetting how it actually was. I do remember that I have never been so psychically and emotionally exhausted in my life. But that was still better than this. I mean I feel more calm now about school but maybe that's because I don't care as much about school as I did then. I mean of course I want to do well now but back then it was like I HAVE TO get straight A's. Me getting good grades was also because I was paranoid that I was going to be put on academic probation which potentially meant that I could be deported incase I didn't better my grades. I was paranoid about that. Being deported. I was like no I have to be a model citizen! Lol. In the next few days or (probably and more like...

Hi guys! I just wanted to post something since I don't post as much anymore. But I have been busy. I have school and work and it's all so much. But I do like having both because then my life is not just about one or the other. It's nice having something to breaks of the other (Do you say that in english?). Eh. Right now with school I feel like I am just taking one day at a time. And to actually getting a degree I am taking one semester at a time. Trying to not put so much pressure on everything and not stress. I feel like it's working that way. Yeah. We'll see. This weekend have been really nice. It's been so nice not having to work the last couple of weeks. I hope that my boss do not schedule me to work weekends in March. I want my weekends free. LOL. Last weekend I was totally stressed about school and said to myself that next weekend I won't do anything. No school, no studying. And what have I been doing. Studying the whole weekend. Hehehe. But I feel p...

Hi everyone! I thought that I had to update this blog before it dies. LOL. No it won't die but I have just been working and been busy. I mean yeah I have had some free time the last few days but I have been busy with friends. OOOOh, I bought sheets the other day. LOL, that is so interesting OMG (you love reading about this right, me buying new sheets... interesting). No but I feel like a grown up because I bought sheets. Idk it just seems like an adult thing to do. Maybe it's just me. Or like a thing you do when you go off to college. Yeah, maybe it's your parents buying them for you then. Idk, I feel like an adult and yeah that's that. Oh, a friend and I went and saw the new Maze Runner movie today. I wanted to see Straight Out Of Compton  but she was all like "Oooh, Maze Runner!" and just kept on begging me. So I caved. Eh, whatever. It was good. Much better than the first one. I have a good memory watching the first one. A wonderful memory. But yeah this ...

Hi! I just want to try and make a quick post now since I never seem to have time to write anything here. I should really be doing other stuff right now but I feel like this blog needs some attention as well. LOL. How is everyone? I am good. A bit stressed out because of school. You know what I am the kind of person that stresses over school thin that I will fail and all and BAM! I don't, instead I ace the whole thing. It's so weird. LOL. Maybe I need more self-confidence but I don't feel like I am that super negative about myself. Maybe when I get stressed because then I feel really pressured to perform well. Hmm. Hopefully this won't be a stressful weekend! I was going to work today but that got cancelled, which in away made me kind of happy because this is the first Friday in a while when I have to work. But I have school and other work, so like I am happy that I can take care of that today. Yeah! I feel like I am really getting somewhere with this essay that I have...

Hi guys! How are you? I am good, but my back still hurts though. Other than that I am okay! Wanna know a cool thing? I am going to be an extra in an ICA commercial again! Yeah! I think that it will air on TV either week 13 or 14. I can't tell you what the commercial is about because confidentiality agreements. But I will tell you this that I met ICA Cindy aka Joanna Eriksson who I have worked with before she I was an extra on Partaj . She was super sweet! Just as sweet as I remember her! She recognised me, which was super cool. She came up to me and was like "OMG! It's you. Wow it's been a really long time!" and then she gave me a big hug. Then we watched up a little which was cool! I also met Loa Falkman who plays the new ICA Stig! He was also super nice. OMG! Best experience! One of the best anyway! LOL. I just remembered that I have a quiz on Thursday and that I haven't studied at all! Gosh! Who have I become?! When I went to college in Cali, the first t...

Hiiiii guys! How is everyone today? I am good! I had the first class meeting of one my courses today! Yeah. It was okay. It was little fun and weird to be back in school. But I am not really back for real. Or yeah in a way... hmmm this is a hard question to answer. Anyway I am just taking a couple of courses right now. I mean I am doing it for the simple reason that I am bored and felt like I should do something. Plus college guys are fucking hot! your writer, Erika

I hate those nights (like tonight), when I don't know what to write. Gash, 'cause I kind of want to do something. Hmmm. I kind of need your help though. I want to read something by Tennessee Williams, post 1950. Which is basically most of his work, but still something post 1950. I have actually read one of his plays before. A Streetcar Named Desire. Twice. Once in college and a few months ago.  I just felt like I needed to re-read it. Which I am thankful that did because I don't think that I got it the first time. It's really good. I need to see the movie now. LOL, I have only seen clips from it. Talking about Tennessee. You know that pick-up line "Are you from Tennessee? Because you are the only tenn-e-ssee (ten I see)!" First time I heard it was when Oliver said it on Hannah Montana . And I didn't get it then because I then it was "You are the only tenn I see!" I was like totally confused! What is so special about tenn that you want to be com...

Hi guys! How are you? Have you updated to iOS8 yet? I haven't. I don't have enough storage on my phone to do so. But I figured since I have about 10,6 GB of pictures I can start to delete some. LOL. For those of you wondering (probably no one but I am going to tell you anyway) that it is 4 368 pictures. I have no idea why I have that many. Well that's an assignment for tomorrow. Hahahaha. OMG! I almost had a heart attack earlier. I have to tell you about this. So this morning my mom and I was doing laundry at the laundry facility where we live. My mom had booked all four machines so we had the the whole laundry room for ourselves. When we were done I checked the washing machines the and the dryers just to be sure that I had not forgot anything. The later my feet were really cold so I was looking for these special pair of socks that I have. I have two pairs of them and I could only find one of the pairs but I really didn't think much of it at the time. Hours past. I ha...

Hi guys how are you? I am still in chock of yesterday. I met Austin Mahone. It's like, he's real. He's taller than me. I mean like American celebrities seem to be kind of short, shorter than me. LOL. But Austin is at least 10 cm taller than me. I am, 171 cm, that what it says in my passport so I am going with that. Hahahaha. I feel like I have nothing to say right now. LOL. You know what I am going to say this though, for all of those who know me or have ever talked to me. I tend about only one thing, (I mean) one topic. My idols. LOL. I am interested in that stuff. I mean that is why I started Have It Hollywood, which does not exists anymore (I started college in SB and IDK I had too much schoolwork and had long school days so I felt like and to prioritize. Now, well it's very time consuming having a blog like that because, I mean I updated HIH about 20 times a day and you always had to say on top of things. As I said it's time consuming.) because it interests me...

Yo! I made my very own almond paste for the first time today! It was really easy. I also made nutella but I have made that before. I am going to make a Christmas candy called "Mozart kulor" tomorrow so I just wanted to try to make my own almond paste just to see how easy it was and to learn how to do it. The most annoying thing was to peel off the peel on the almonds. I mean to took a few minutes. It was just boring. Oh my God you guys! Like I am so freaking bored right now! I mean seriously I could go to bed to just because I am bored. My boredom has led me to looking through pictures from Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. I don't now but for some reason I had a thing where I always took selfies of myself in the mirrors in the WC at the movies. For some reason the WC was always, well often anyway, empty so I just snapped some pictures. Hahaha. I am looking at all of my selfies from SB and IDK they are awesome, I mean hmmm I don't know how to say this in english (it so...

That's it! Fuck it's cold! September 3rd and I am feeling like I am going to freeze to death! No joke! Fall weather is so fucking unpredictable! Like this morning it was pleasant, well it was not to cold anyway. This afternoon it was hot. Like it was to hot with pants, so I would have had said yes to a dress. Hahaha. Now, at around 11 PM I am freezing to death. OMG! it shouldn't be like this. NO! NO way! Like I am sitting here in my UCLA sweat pants and my 1D hoddie, plus I am wearing three pairs of socks. My feet are always cold so that's really not an excuse, but the problem is that I am cold. Freezing to death cold! Aaaaah! I almost can't take this anymore. I have been thinking weather I should go back to school or just whatever I should do. Like it's hard! I do and I don't but I also think that education is important. But it's like I don't want to go to school in Sweden because there aren't any fun schools, or I mean any schools that offer ...

That's it! Now I am completely caught up with season eight of Keeping Up with The Kardashian's . Now all I have to do is wait for Sunday, well Monday (I have to wait for it to be up online) until I can watch a new episode. Who else here is a Kardashian/ Jenner fan? I mean when the show first started airing in Sweden I was all excited because I had heard so much about it and when I watch the first episode I was kind of disappointed you know. I mean I didn't hate it but I was kinda like "Oh? This is it?" Yeah you know but now I love it. I don't know about love exactly, but I to enjoy watching the show. Which I do do. On Wednesday there is a new episode from season seven (last season) airing on TV11 in Sweden. I prefer watching TV shows on the TV than on my computer. Yeah so, um, yeah this is actually the first season of KUWTK that I have watched online. I have seen a few episodes of the Kourtney and Kim Take Miami  that aired earlier this year. You know what I...

Seriously though I could go to school in Cali next semester (spring 2014 that will say) just so that I could go to Las Vegas for my 21st birthday. I mean, just because of that one reason. It's not that I am loosing something from being in California for four months! I am gaining alot. Like an education! But it's also like what I talked about yesterday, you know, all that about if I really want to to go to school. 'Cause otherwise it's just a waste of money. I need to be really sure that that is what I want to do, you know. Hahaha. It will never be a waste of experience or anything like that. Actually it is not a waste of money too. 'Cause I feel like I am paying for so much more than an education, you know. Since I am not from America I am paying for more than an education. You know right. It is the experience of being there. I don't know what to say other than that. Have you guys watched my vlog from yesterday? In case you haven't watched it watch it here...

I just feel weird. Like, I want to run into a brick wall or something. That's how I feel often. I mean it's not going to solve anything. It's just for that one moment when I hot the wall everything is going to okay. I will feel at peace. Then the millisecond after, everything will be the same again. IDK. Basically life I guess. I am just bored. Mostly I am bored with just living here. Here, meaning Stockholm and Sweden. I don't know but I have seen it all and done it all. Even if I had more money, or a job it would still just be the same place. But I am not sure if I want to go back to America and go to school. I mean yes I'd like that. I think that education is very important and I encourage all of my friends to get a degree, I am just not sure that it's for me. You know what I mean? Last year when I went off to college in Santa Barbara I was excited because I have always wanted to go to school in the US but I also was like "What the fuck have I just don...

Do you know what today is? Exactly one year ago to the date I set off on a four month (and four days) long journey which involved college in the US. One year! Fuck! I mean it has been on year! One year ago (um, this post might be dated August 10th 2013, so just to clarify I moved to California August 9th 2012 - it probably will be dated the 10th since I usually blog around midnight) I moved to freaking California in the freaking United States of America! I mean it's so hard to imagine it even though it has happened! I mean I lived a life long dream of mine. There is no better feeling the living your dreams! Even though I had some rough times (and believe me I had) I am so thankful for the opportunity because otherwise I would just be sitting here and thinking "Why?", "What if?" etc. You know? I am so thankful for everything. I have so many other dreams that I want to achieve! I just have to be more driven. I know, or I mean what's stopping me from my other...

YOLO, boys and girls what are ya doing? I just finished watching an episode of 90210  'cause I haven't watch it since I was in the US. Gosh, I miss Cali. Hmm, I need to figure things out before I deiced to move back or whatever I want to do. 'Cause I don't know sometimes I just feel that life is so boring here, no offense to anyone, plus what to I have here that I have to stay for? It's just how I feel. Like people here don't understand me. Life is just more fun there, I just feel more free. If I ever move back I have to try more things, like try it all! Vegas, YES definitely. I want to go to Vegas and party hard, really hard! I mean it's Vegas, what else is there to do there? No, seriously please tell me, 'cause I have no idea. seriously no idea. I miss being young in America, being in Sweden twice a year. Hmm. I don't that was the dream. I mean it still is but I have other dreams. I know that I really want to take screenwriting classes, 'caus...

Sometimes I wish that I lived back in Cali 'cause seriously I am so bored with my life here. Not bored I just feel like, I don't know, I just feel like life was more fun there. I often think That it's more fun being young in Cali but while I was there I missed Sweden and all the familiarity of everything that I know. I was more independent there. I mean I have other dreams apart from college. I don't know, but I just want to find myself a little bit more which I am desperately trying to do. I love being a fangirl 'cause you meet the most amazing people and get endless support whenever but I am starting to feel like I should chill a little bit on that. But it's hard and people don't understand, except other fangirls. If I explain it all to you you won't understand, you will say that it's not the same as the "real" thing. But that is the real thing. Though I haven't had any fangirl feels the last couple of weeks because as I said I am try...

Late again, I know. Sorry (hahaha, I keep apologizing but no one complains, hmm it's my blog I can do what the heck I want, LOL). Okay I was looking at school in London. Not that I am planning on applying but I just want to see what's out there. LOL, believe or not but I kinda think that's stuff is fun. I want to experience something new and it would be fun to live in London. A few days ago looked what you need on order to legally work in the UK and if I understood right it's not just (for me as a legal citizen of a country that's a member of the European Union) to move there and get a job. You need that special EU passport (I don't know what it's called but I have it) and some other type of legal document but it seems way way easier than getting a job in the US. If I would go to school in the UK I would like to live on campus for at least one semester. I mean just try it. your writer, Erika

I tend to blog late at night, you know the end of the day. I don't know why it just happens. LOL. I mean, yeah, you know ( I don't even know). No, it's better to sum up the day at the end of the day instead at four in the afternoon when you come home from school. In like eight grade or so, I used to plan, while I was at school, what I was going to blog about when I came home. Bored I guess. Hahaha. Tomorrow I don't start school until 10:30 AM! So nice because I get to sleep until 7:30, I mean yeah because when I lived in the US I had to get up at 5:30. That's too early. Well, now I have to get ready for tomorrow so until then, yeah sleep tight and have a fun night. your writer, Erika
