Let’s start with Amelija, a Lithuanian girl. Because it is a very cold country she says that her social life activities depend on the season. Summer is coming, so she decided to describe how’s her daily life when the weather is warmer.

Amelija usually meets up with her friends and goes to thrift shopping: ‘It is like going to the museum of cloths’ she says. Likewise, she loves going to the coffee shop and enjoying with her friends some time together, talking and having fun but when they get bored of sitting down, they often go to old town and walk around their city.

In the summer nights for the Lithuanian teenagers is very popular to go to concerts, especially those which supports little Lithuanian artists. And don’t you think that they’re going to miss going to the sea, because for Amelija and her friends are far way more enjoyable to swim in lakes and often have picnics to live perfectly the summer’s taste.

Sofia, an Italian girl, started by describing her school activities. She goes to school from Monday to Saturday, in fact she only has Sunday as a free day! She attends a grammar school, so she has a classical type of studies. This means that she learns Latin and Greek’s literature, and also grammar.

Her daylight routine is actually very related to school! In fact she has three extracurricular activities involving it: school choir (with 2 hours of practice and the concerts they do), English lessons and also some theatre practice. In fact there will be a festival happening in her school on May that is calling for everyone’s help!

But let’s see what she used to do in her free time. She usually hangs out with her friends on the weekend for the many things she has to do during the week (homework, extra activities) and having just the Saturday night totally free it makes it definitely harder but encourages her to plan awesome activates!

She loves going with her friends in the city-centre, her favourite spot, and in the evening they mostly hang out in pubs or bars, «or everywhere it’s possible to grab a drink and have fun» she says. Rome is a very big city and so it is its city-centre, for this reason Sofia is used to walk a lot with her friends or just moving place to place. She mostly hangs around Colosseum, Trastevere or Piazza Trilussa and San Lorence, which is a very chaotic area.

In those days when she has some free time during the week she’s used to have breakfast with her friends before school, and then they really have to hurry up to not arrive just in time for the bell to ring! She told us that after and before choir practice she always grabs a coffee with a friend and they usually lay down in the nearest park to sunbathe a little.

Having so many courses to attend is probably a little stressful, but for her is also an occasion to have lunch with some friends: pizza and poke are on their way to go! In the sunny days it’s traditional to go to the beach to tan a little bit and to stay there, joking around. She said that the bravest have also tried to go swimming even when the water’s cold, saying that: “they were all freezing in the end!”

Beatrice, the other Italian girl, has a similar life while talking about school. She goes to the same school with Sofia and have some extra activities too. From the first year of high school she is in the theatre club, which consists in half a hour of practice every week and is well known for organizing an amazing final show in June! Everyday after school she stays for a while at the bar near her school with some of her classmates and very good friends of her, in fact she says that: «it’s a way to have a little break before going home and studying».

When she doesn’t have so much homework to do, she meets her classmates in bar which’s a good occasion for having a good talk with a good coffee. In the warmer days she meet them in a park near their school, clarifying that it is such a tradition for them.

Her favourite thing is living the Saturday night in the most exciting way she can. Every time she goes in different places, from the rooftop of her friend’s house Luca to an Irish pub in Piazza Venezia, next to Altare della Patria, in the city-center. The easier way to hang out with as many people as possible is going to Trastevere, especially in Piazza Trilussa, always with her photocamera in her hand to catch every slippery moment! They usually meet at someone’s house in the laziest night. When she’s tired and she prefers to have a simple night, she just stays in her neighbourhood with her best friend, listening to their favourite artists and talking about everything.

She usually goes to libraries when she needs to have some relax-time: «books are my safe place» she says.

In the Sunday mornings she likes to go thrift shopping in the most famous place in Rome, Porta Portese. «You can find anything you want there» she says, from cloths to vintage decorations for your house. When Summer comes she has a lot more of free time. From the morning to the evening she works in a summer camp and then she hangs out with her friends, enjoying her free time with them at some bars or parks: everywhere they can play to settebello (a typical Italian tabletop game) while eating an ice-cream.

Magdalena, another student from Lithuania, mentioned that she leads a life full of activities. “Lately I have been very busy. I am a lead singer in band called ‘Mu(s)zonas’” she says, also notifying us that they’re up for a concert soon! In fact, she is also a dressage rider, and she is currently getting ready for Lithuanian championships. ‘I train five times a week, it definitely takes time and energy but I love riding’ she says. Not only that, she also sings in the school choir called ‘Krantas’ and they practice two times a week.

Apart from that she still finds some time to hang out with the ones she loves. In fact, she truly enjoys spending time with my friends, and even when she’s busy she manages to go to a café giving herself a rest.

Justin, the last Lithuanian student, on the other hand, is far more the introvert type. For the matter when asked about his life beyond school grounds, he said that he prefers staying by himself or with few people he knows quite well.

He said that in his free time he enjoys playing board games with his friends or spending evenings watching films together. But while talking about outdoor activities he said that he also loves spending time meeting up with friends in café shops or just in Vilnius old town, because then you have time to talk to them without being disturbed.
