Today is an extra special day - my 100th day in Sevilla (and also my 22nd birthday)! So, being a corn ball who loves making lists, I have compiled a few lists for your viewing pleasure:

- Always having some sort of trip / event to look forward to
- Being able to speak English when you don't want someone to hear/understand something
- The beautiful weather and the strong Sevilla sun
