I'm from the wonderful city İstanbul. I'm a 23 yo senior student at Boğaziçi University in Psychological Counseling department. I have great passion for psychology, languages, art, and literature. I'm currently learning how to play piano and violin because I believe it's never too late to learn something difficult as long as you have the enthusiasm. I, also, love talking so no wonder I love writing. Hope you enjoy my articles!
