Amsterdam is a different universe. Throughout my voyage to experience as many different kinds of cities during my last semester abroad, Amsterdam stands out. It’s an extremely progressive city within an extremely progressive country, where things like prostitution are legal. There is one legal product that stands out above the rest: marijuana. The marijuana industry makes it a top destination for college students on their semesters abroad in Europe; while I was there, I definitely saw many young people, but I also saw a handful of older couples looking to try it for the first time. But how do you go about getting your hands on some herb in the first place?

To have a long-distance relationship is time consuming and you always have to work on it. In modern times especially young people want and need to travel a lot and their partners can’t always join them. So you either have to decide that you break up, stay home or, as in this case, you try your best to work it out. So if you are far apart, you need to find some ways to deal with it.
Sexuality and Gender become a more and more important issues in our modern society. Not just in communication, but also in a definition of personality, personal development and as part of growing up. Teens think much more in our days about what sexual orientation they have, about gender policy, transexuality and gays than the generation before did.
The more I look into it, the more I realize how difficult it is to find a low-cost place to live. Especially when traveling to other countries, it gets much harder to pay for a small studio or even a room.

As some philosophers have already claimed, nature retains us human beings in “the real world”. It’s almost like this has been done on purpose, like some higher power as set all of this up to keep us “alive”. It is all in such perfect order, as some would say. The point is that nature fiddles with our emotions, it has even been scientifically proven, for example, that beautiful sceneries generate pure dopamine for our minds. To this we can surely all relate to; walks through forests, boat trips, laying on the grass.
