Music ☺

I love music. I listen to all kinds of music and I listen to it everyday. I particularly like Jesse J. I like her because she is very unique, she is a great songwriter, and has a powerful voice. One of my favorite songs from her is Who You Are. We often act, say, or do things that the rest of the world thinks it’s normal or right. This song is about who you are. It is about staying true to yourself and not worrying about what everyone around you thinks.

There is no need to please anyone else as long as you are happy with yourself.  

Jessie J - Who You Are

My first blog ☺

I am a student at Southwestern and it is my third semester here. I hate to say I am still undecided on a major, but hopefully I’ll figure it out soon. I am 22 years old and you can call me D. Exactly 11 years and 11 days ago for the first time I left my country and arrived to the US. I come from a small country called Bosnia with a current population of 3.7 million people. I came with my mom and brother and knew about five words of English.

“Are you planning to go back?” people ask me all the time.

“Just to visit,” I reply.

Bosnia is a beautiful country, but my home is here now. I feel comfortable here. My friends and family live here. Everything I need and want is here. Sometimes Bosnians get upset when I tell them this, but that’s just how I feel. Everyone is different, and that’s okay.

I have been hearing a lot about Bosnia on television and radio lately. That’s thanks to Angelina Jolie’s new movie In the Land of Blood and Honey, which won a Stanley Kramer Award and is nominated for a Golden Globe. The movie is about a war that took place in Bosnia in the early 90’s. I have not seen this movie and I am not a fan of war movies which is why I’m not sure if I will watch it.
