So here I am, at the end of another amazing experience time has come to goodbye! It’s been great to be a part of the USE Team. From the initial interview, the great Away Day we spent together and my first day of work, to the blogging, the social enterprise events, the Jumble Sale and the socials, … Continue reading »
I want to sleep on the grass. I want to look out my bedroom window and smell the salt in the air and hear the waves break into the shore. I want to go outside in the rain wearing a white dress and my hair down. I want to play Mario and Felix with my … Continue reading »

The event joined 11 national societies to compete to be crowned the best performance of the night. It was a unique chance to showcase culture through art, music and drama, exhibiting a … Continue reading »
Imagine you wake up one day, And think about what you would never do, Imagine recoiling at something, That goes against the moral you. It stays with you all day and night, This thought too terrible for words, While you hopelessly keep trying, To wipe it from memory’s records. You eat, you sleep, try to … Continue reading »
Please keep away your fake-lipped smile, Don’t let me see that side of you, I’ll simply sense it’s been a while, Since you were sincere and true. Just hide away that roguish look, Abstain yourself from being rude, There’s wickedness in hands you shook, Falsity to you is glued. Please stop assuming what you’re not, … Continue reading »
I was recently browsing through a 150 list of things to do when you are bored. In all fairness, I was more curious than I was bored. Scrolling down, I realised there are so many things I want to do: from learning the art of calligraphy and creating my own comic book to microwaving peanut butter s’mores or making rainbow jellies. … Continue reading »
Be sweet to me, be gentle, calm, Don’t rush me into my protective shield, Do keep your voice’s tender charm, My body’s strength to yours will yield. You know I twitch at your carress, The trembling shiver down my spine, You venture in my mind’s thought mess, And wait… And wait… To be all mine. … Continue reading »
I have just received a WordPress notification to celebrate a year since I first opened my blog: http://www.mihaelagruia.com You’d expect I’d say that time flew by, but I don’t have this feeling at all. I feel that I have lived every single day of my last year and that my blog has had a great … Continue reading »
Following last year’s experience and the recent post showing how awesome my University is, this weekend I participated one of the most amazing events in Sheffield, The International Languages Festival 2013 (IIIrd Edition) “Over the course of one weekend 80 different languages and dialects from across the globe were taught, including a wide selection of African languages, … Continue reading »
Today was a day full of energy and enthusiasm. I refound myself being smily, friendly, energetic, kind, helpful. I’ve learnt the valuable lesson of what a smile can do again. Today. As per my usual university post, I am still standing firm on the ground that the University of Sheffield is amazing and that the … Continue reading »
What would you offer to people, If you had all power to? What you think is the most precious, Bit of life to give pursue? Is it human’s fragile health, Bodies needing no more cures, Or prosperity and wealth, As in pages of brochures? Maybe love or mere affection, The sweet warmth of other souls, … Continue reading »
The last 10 days me taught me an immensely valuable life lesson about family. The more I think of how to put it in words, I find it hard to express myself. It’s maybe because… there is no way to put it in words. It’s something that I can only feel, that can only be … Continue reading »
You know when on disection tables Scalpels splinter human hearts, That’s when all eyes watch with tension As the flesh is torn in parts. Is seen with sheer fascination How veins meet the arters’ path, Blood drains dryly from the organ, Medics keep prosing their math. Flesh and bones become mundane In doctors’ hand and … Continue reading »
There is something so intimate about sleeping in another person’s bed. Enwrapped in the cotton texture, trying to fall asleep feels like a static sphere of a cocoon. You sit there and your mind starts wandering… How deep is the sensation this whole scene vibrates and what chords does it touch in you? How profound do … Continue reading »
There are people whose mere presence contains an invisible aura of sobriety. It requires respect or may intimidate. It’s not that you cannot enter a field of amusement or slip into a relaxed reply during conversation, it’s not about discussing highbrow subjects, it’s the vibe around such people. So how do to detect this aura … Continue reading »
Ever twitched at your own shadow, Felt so lonely in this world? With no faith in coming morrow, No one whom to speak a word? It happens when you cross the street, You see projected on the wall, A grey shape that meets your feet, Obscure and deceiving pitfall. You reach a corner, shadow follows, … Continue reading »
Beyond the storm of raging ocean, Your mast exhales a desperate cry, Beyond the splintered twisting motion, To hide your fright in vain you try. On my map of velvet skin, Your compass finds its northern pole, On my waves of whispered wind, Your ship finds its longed for shore. Through the partings of my … Continue reading »
It always starts as fairytale, The first few days, some months, some years, The colours seem to fade and pale, The laughs, the smiles, the first few tears. It always sparks with heartened light, The first sweet kiss, the hugs, the love, The talks begin to lose their ‘might’, The plans, the trips, escaping dove. … Continue reading »
We split in half a raisin scone, The butter, jam, the silver knife, We listen to the old jazz tone, Good morning, Love! Good morning, life! I smell the coffee in the room, The honey, milk, the boiling eggs, We listen to the old jazz tune, Slept well, my Love? exchange of pecks. We rush … Continue reading »
