As I was really busy this week and still will be next week, I thought I'd write a post in advance. Time for another monthly recap! I can't believe how fast time is slipping away, seems just like a few days ago that I've written the march recap. A bunch of cool stuff has happened this month, besides the usual school life. Apropos school life, I told you already in my march recap about my big math test which I unfortunately failed at, but last week I got this "last chance" to see if I'm allowed to take finals and yes, I made it!!! I was extremely anxious before the test, but finally the enormous time of studying paid off! I will take my written finals this week in German and English and next week in Math. The oral exams are first in June, although I'm really looking forward to it, because I'm very interested in the subjects I chose. I'm going to graduate in Religion, English and History.
And what's about the "bunch of cool stuff"? Well, first and foremost, the Shooting with Monika and Matthias, that I've by now probably told you a thousand times about, was for sure the highlight of my Easter holidays. Thank you by the way for all the lovely comments on the pictures, I appreciate every single one! I don't know if I at some point already told you about my second instagram account, where I only upload pictures from shootings, unlike I do on the account linked in my sidebar. Some pictures are the same as the ones I'm showing here on the blog, even though I won't upload them in the exact same order, so you might catch a glimpse at images which I haven't shown on the blog yet.

Furthermore, I came across some really great articles in the blogosphere this month. I definitely recommend you to take a look at the following:

• I adore Maddie and her way to put personal experiences into words. If you haven't already read her article about things that we try to find at far away places while they are right in front of us, please switch immediately to her blog.
• Jana, whose style of writing I love just as much as Maddie's, published an entry that got right into my heart. She writes about old times, unforgettable moments and about a life worth living. Nostalgia.
• I'm in urgent need to travel again! No, but seriously, my wanderlust hit this month a new level. I simply want to explore new places, meet new people and see something different. Mia from heylilahey just came back from her trip around the world and wow, just look at those awesome pictures from Costa Rica! I'm in love. And her budget guide for travelers is also very helpful.
• One article that made me quite thoughtful this month was this one from Linn. She comments the election in Turkey and makes an enthusiastic plea to make use of our voices.
  Justine wrote an essay about why it doesn't matter what's happening to you and why instead it's more important how you handle such situations. I agree on what she has to say, even though I sometimes struggle with this attitude myself...
  And Stef talks on magnoliaelectric, a fantastic blog which I follow since some years now, about her desire to just write spontaneously again, without thinking too much about it, something that I can absolutely relate to.

And what would be a monthly recap without a wishlist what to buy next? In particular this (way to good looking) bralette you can see above! I wanted to buy it last week when I saw that it was sold out... :( The description says it's limited but I subscribed to their newsletter and let's cross fingers that they're going to produce a few more pieces! The brand itself is called troo.ch and is very recommendable, since they produce in a transparent way and because of the fact that all of their designs are simply gorgeous! The prices are not too high either, between 40 and 50 Euros I'd say is a fair price for a quality piece like that. So if "Grace" isn't going to be available soon I'll definitely look out for another piece from their shop.
As I mentioned above, I won't have much time for the blog until next week due to my final exams. Maybe I'll publish some prepared posts, otherwise you're going to hear from me next week on Sunday. I wish you all a nice week!
