The Royal Wedding 2018


Prince Harry and Meghan Markle married on May 19th, 2018. The decision to have a wedding on a Saturday was against tradition because usually royal weddings take place during a week.
On the morning, 19th, it was announced that the Queen has given a Dukedom on Prince Henry of Wales. His titles is now Duke of Sussex, Earl of Dumbarton and Baron Kilkeel. Prince Harry is His Royal Highness The Duke of Sussex, and Markle has become Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex.

The marriage of Prince Harry and Markle took place in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. They became the 16th royal couple to celebrate their marriage at Windsor Castle since 1863. The Queen has given a permission for the ceremony in the place which seats approximately 800 people. Everything was paid for by the royal family.



On the morning of the wedding, Meghan Markle's mother, Doria Ragland, accompanied her to Windsor Castle. Markle's father, Thomas Markle, wasn't at the wedding and he didn't walk down his daughter the aisle because of his health. It was announced that Prince Charles would give away his future daughter-in-law during her father's absence.


On May 19th, Meghan Markle wore the dress created by Clare Waight Keller from Givenchy. Markle met Waight Keller in early 2018 and "chose to work with her for her timeless and elegant aesthetic, impeccable tailoring, and relaxed demeanour" said a statement from Kensington Palace. "Ms Markle also wanted to highlight the success of a leading British talent who has now served as the creative head of three globally influential fashion houses – Pringle of Scotland, Chloé, and now Givenchy." 



What is more, Kensington Palace confirmed on April 9th that the couple would like to resign from any presents in favour of donations to: CHIVA (Children's HIV Association), Crisis (a UK-based homelessness charity), the Myna Mahila Foundation (a charity that supports women in Mumbai's urban slums), Scotty's Little Soldiers (which helps bereaved Armed Forces children), StreetGames (a foundation using sport to change lives), Surfers against Sewage and The Wilderness Foundation UK (which promotes the enjoyment of wild nature).

Go, learn and discover!

Hello! :) Today I would like to tell you more about the project called Erasmus. This program gives a chance to students to go abroad and to learn at the foreign university whenever they want (at the first, second, third, fourth or fifth year of studies). Due to the fact that I was a participant of this project, I will try to present you how it works and whether I mention it positively or not :) But from the beginning… As you already know, each university allows students to go to the another country in order to enrich their knowledge according to their studies. It can be a law student, a futur engineer or a philologist. The last one, in my opinion, has the easiest way to go away because of good language skills. The choice isn’t so hard. For example, when you study French, you will probably choose the university in France , Switzerland or Belgium where people used to speak this language – that’s normal :). More difficulties can have an another student because his choice is li

“ The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place ” George Bernard Shaw. “ The ability to deal with people is as purchasable a commodity as sugar or coffee and I will pay more for that ability than for any other under the sun ” John D.

The theory of the unconscious mind

"The mind is like an iceberg, it floats with one-seventh of its bulk above water" Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) was born in Austria. He developed the technique of psychoanalysis in his treatment of patients with mental disorders. His most famous book, "The Interpretation of Dreams" was published in 1900. Freud argued that we all have an unconscious mind as well as a conscious one. The unconscious in where our motivations originate and our fears are buried. Memories, especially from childhood, have a huge influence on the way we are now, but we are unaware of their significance. We deny or resist becoming conscious of these motives. Freud's proposals came when strict scientific methods were seen as the only way to discover truth. By introducing the notion of the unconscious, Freud undermined the belief that we are in control of our actions, thoughts and behavious all the time. He is commonly referred to as "the father of psychoanalysis" and his
