About Me

CURRENT MISSION

more doing, less going to

ABOUT ME

Hello I'm Annika, a redhead from Northern Finland! I'm majoring in philosophy and economics in Turku University and living an active student life. Interests and activities include music, playing the saxophone, science, yoga, parties... I'm laid-back but easy to get excited, logical but creative, deep-thinking but not serious. I like music, sun, stupid jokes, red wine, parties, philosophy, spending time with friends, art, funny jewelry, food, pandas, walking around aimlessly in a nonfamiliar city. I don't like excessive fuss about schedule and hurrying, early morning wake-ups, out of tune guitar, mustard, complicating simple things, describing myself..

PHILOSOPHY

To resist this kind of misinterpretation of the word philosophy....

Unity. One.

Oh, a view of life or so... To be happy, developing yourself, get knowledge as much as possible, accept what can't be changed and focus on good energy instead of negative feelings.
