NEW YEAR MEANS NEW RESOLUTIONS Everybody knows that new year also means new resolutions and trying to fulfill them. Which we fail terribly at. I don’t know about you guys but I don’t think I fulfilled most of my resolutions last year. So, like always, I will make new resolutions and I promise, I will let you know if I fulfill any of them. Truth to be told, except for the movies, books etc. 2013 wasn’t a very bright year for me. I graduated from middle school which is awesome, but I wasn’t very happy. I made some great friends though, including my best friend. Summer was good as well but the rest... let’s say not the best days of my life but since I’ve started high school everything is going great and I’m thoroughly happy with my life. Here are some of my new year resolutions that I am planning to fulfill during 2014: • I will finish my Goodreads reading challenge for 2014 (read 40 books).

• Hopefully, go to London and Paris. • Learn some new skills. • Play guitar and improve guitar skills. • Start doing some sports. There are probably more things that I will add but for now, these are my resolutions for 2014 and I hope that I succeed at fulfilling them.

WHAT DID YOU DO ON NEW YEAR’S EVE? By the way, what did you guys do on new years eve? I spent it at one of my friend’s house with some friends and had a lot of fun. As a new years tradition, we watched Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show while eating brownies with ice-cream and drooled over the models. We also danced some, watched stand-up comedy that was on TV (special for new year’s eve) and Madonna concert. It was one of the best new year’s eve I have ever spent. What about you guys? Tell about your new year’s resolu-

REVIEWS Saving Mr. Banks Saving Mr. Banks is a comedy-drama film starring Emma Thompson and Tom Hanks. The movie is about how Walt Disney managed to convince P. L. Travers into making Mary Poppins a Disney movie. There are also a lot of flashback scenes showing P. L. Travers with her alcoholic but loving father Travers Goff. The film has funny scenes but it also has scenes that make you cry. Especially the last scene made me cry a lot. Emma Thompson is marvellous as P. L. Travers in this movie, one of her best actings for sure. I recommend this film to you highly if you like Disney and family movies.

Paper Towns by John Green Paper Towns is a young adult / teenage novel written by John Green. The book's main character Quentin Jacobsen has always had a crush on his childhood friend Margo Roth Spiegelman who is an adventurous, clever and witty young woman. Their in their seniour year and weeks away from graduation when all of a sudden, Margo comes to Quentin's room and tells him to go on several "quests" with her. They have a fun but tiring night, pulling pranks and getting revenge from people who betrayed Margo as a friend and as a boyfriend. Quentin becomes happy because he and Margo haven't been this close for a really long time but unfortunately Margo runs away from the town. Throughout the book, Quentin "Q" Jacobsen, his friends Ben Starling and Marcus "Radar" Lincoln and Margo's friend Lacey Pemberton try to find Margo, following the clues she has left behind. In conclusion, this is an adventurous and a lesson-giving book of John Green which should be read by everyone. I had fun every second of reading and I'm sure people who like his writing style or young adult/teen books, will like this book as well.

YOU SHOULD... Listen to HAIM! These 3 sisters from California will rock your world with their 80s-90s kinda soft rock tunes. You should definitely buy their new album Days Are Gone. Trust me, they are good!

Take a boat trip in Nyhavn! If you ever go to Copenhagen, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to take a boat trip in the beautiful canals and pass through Nyhavn, one of the most famous places in Denmark.

Watch Orphan Black Do you like British girls kicking some serious butt? Or beautiful scientists doing amazing experiments? Or soccer moms that have drinking problems? Well this show has all of them, and most of all they are all clones! Or... are they?

Play The Last Of Us If you liked the movie I Am Legend then you will definitely love The Last Of Us. Taking you to the future, a postapocalyptic world, The Last Of Us will make you enjoy every second of your playing time. Not only the story, but the characters Ellie and Joel are great as well.

BARCELONA Ahh Barcelona... Beautiful city of a beautiful country, centre of Catalunya and the place for everybody who loves sun, architecture and great food. I forgot to tell you guys, but since this month itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my turn on the Travel Page, I will talk about my trip to Barcelona I did this summer.

First of all, from the beginning to the end, it was an amazing trip. I went to stay at this boutique hotel my friend suggested me and look how cute their lobby was!

The most touristic place in Barcelona is probably La Ramba. La Ramba is a big street where there are a lot of hand-built shops and little cafes. It is truly a great place for walking and having a sip of your sangria while watching the life go on. 27

The long beach of Barcelona is a great place for jogging, sunbathing, having fun with your friends and swimming. It’s even beautiful at night.

While I was in Barcelona, I didn’t forget to visit Museo Dali Figueres, which is the former house of Salvador Dali and now the museum of his art.

Also, check out this amazing shop I found while I was walking through the streets of a village near Barcelona. It has tshirts of nearly all of the TV shows, books, movies and I couldn’t help myself so I bought a Khaleesi t-shirt from there! :D

Don’t forget to drink sangria and eat paella when you go to Barcelona. Sangria is an alcoholic drink so if you are not old enough don’t drink it, but definitely eat paella because it tastes like heaven.

I didn’t forget to visit one of the world’s most famous football team’s stadium as well. FC Barcelona stadium was absolutely awesome, it even had a little museum that had all of their trophies and you could also take a picture while holding a trophy!

One of the best things you can see in Barcelona is Gaudiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s splendid architecture and his buildings. It really gives the city a whole new atmosphere and makes is special.

Barcelona is a truly magnificent city that needs to be visited at least once in a lifetime. I really enjoyed staying there, I hope you guys give it a try as well.
