Please Help?!?

Hello everyone!

Just when I started again and you'd might expect a happy/ funny post (although if you've read anything on my page, I just can't be funny really...), I'm actually writing this to ask you for your help and to help some of you (maybe?). 
This is going to be really weird to type, because I don't know any of you and I don't even know you care about this at all, but I don't really know who I can go to in real life. 
This is pretty personal and I don't even know if I'll put this on public to be honest, but let's just see how it goes. 

Lately I've been feeling a change in myself. Well I say lately but it really has been the last 3/4 years, so much for the word lately haha... But it really feels not that long, because I can remember my 'old' self so well. 

Let's just start at the beginning, because I always start writing randomly and you, as a reader, probably won't really know what's going on. 
It all started where so many of my things started. In the third grade of high school when I was bullied. (I won't go into detail about that, because I already wrote a whole post on that a while ago, so if you want to know what that was about, click here)
I started to lie, a lot. First only little white lies, but after I got 'the hang of it', I found out that it was so easy. And then it pretty much all went wrong. I began to lie to my classmates (not that they meant anything to me, but it still was/ is wrong), to my friends, best friends and in the end to my family. That was the moment I began to feel bad, really bad, because you should never lie to you family since they are probably (not always, but in most cases) the people who will love you the longest and who will always be there for you. 
This went on for about 3 years. At this time I had a few solid friendships that I did not want to risk ending, because of some stupid lie. I began feeling that I didn't have to pretend to be someone else and lie about things, since I was accepted for who I was by them and it felt great!
After that I began to really acknowledge just how many times I lied per week. So I decided to stop it for once and for all, but that was easier said than done. But slowly I made good progress and surprisingly gained even more friends, just by being myself. 

One of the things that kept me going the most was the good feeling I got when people commented positively on me being, well, me.

But most of all the feeling I got when I was being honest and that I didn’t have to think each time when I met someone, what did I tell them about this and that, because finally everybody got the same story, the true story. It was so relaxing and it made me feel so good.

I guess the thing I want to say with this post is: You don’t have to lie or pretend to be someone else, because (queue the cheesiness) you are good the way you are and people will eventually love you for being you. I know that this is something everybody says to these kinds of problems, but it is true! It’ll give you relaxation and rest, because you don’t have to put on a mask every time you speak to someone and trust me on this one, once you get through the tough beginning, it’ll feel flipping great!

Just try it out, it won’t hurt to just try!

Please let me know if you see a bit of yourself in my story and let me know in the comments (or privately, you can find my links in the about me section on my blog) if it helped you to hear a similar story, so you are not alone in this phase.

And if you're comfortable with it, share your story in the comments below, so I know I'm not alone in this :)

See you next time with hopefully a happy blogpost!!

Surprise....

I'm Back! Or at least I'm going to be back. 
Let's give you a little life-update. 
Since my last post I've finished High School, got a job, earned money and went to follow my dream. Which is what I am doing right now, living in La Paz, Bolivia. In short, a lot happened and I now find myself in the city that's called La Paz.
But let's start at the beginning. 
It all started 6 years ago when my cousin went to La Paz as a part of her course at University. I was pretty close with her, because she had been living in my town for 2 years and came to ours a lot. So when she was suddenly away I missed her a lot. She came back, but only to finish her course and left again because she met her future husband there. With her leaving I made a promise to myself: If I would be able to finish high school in 6 years, I would go and visit her for a whole year. Of course this wasn't anything serious, just a jokey promise I made with my 12 year old self. 
But then 3 years later is was pretty obvious that I had to double my year because my grades were too bad and I made a list of pros and cons of doubling my class. Obviously I won't get in too much detail about it but it also said that if I'd double my year I couldn't go to Bolivia, so I did everything I could (studying wise!!! don't you dare think something else haha) and passed my year. 
From then on it was kind of a goal to achieve and now I achieved it by being in La Paz...
However it isn't completely like the first plan anymore, because I needed to make some changes. So now it is for 5 months (4 months left) and instead of traveling a lot, I chose to make some friends and go out with them to explore that culture more than traveling all over Bolivia. Partly because I'm having the best time this way and partly because it is pretty expensive... 

All in all, I just wanted to say that I'm back from a long break and I'm here to stay (I'll really try this time!!) and that I will be writing about general topics again. So if you want me to write about something let me know in the comments below!

I'll now stop ranting about my life and let you get on with yours, so have a good day/afternoon/evening and I hope to see you soon!

P.s. Ironically I began to write this a few days ago and stopped as per usual, so we'll see how this goes...

Who Am I? Pt. 2

Hello everyone!

I wrote a post with the same title a while ago and I talked about a few facts about me. Today I want to go a bit deeper (so if you are here for a funny/light post, you might want to leave now, or stay of course, but you have been warned haha). I want to talk about who we are as a person and what we can do in order to be a good person. 
I am aware of the fact that the word 'good' has many different explanations and everyone fills it in their own way, so that's what I am going to do. I am going to fill the word in with my own description. 

For me 'being a good person' means that you are willing to help people when they need help, whether they ask you or not. The last part is obviously a hard thing and needs 'practice'. I'll come back to this later on.

In my opinion you can never be a completely good person, because making mistakes is human. However I do think that you should learn from your mistakes, so you don't make them again. This takes time and effort, but I believe that anybody can put themselves to it if they want to. 
That's the other thing. You need to want to change (if necessary obviously, but I can't think of anyone who is already perfect and needs no change) otherwise there is no point to doing anything. If you don't want to learn or improve, I don't see the point of it.

I want to take myself as an example (because that's why I named this post Who Am I). I am 17 years old, just finished high school and going to go to Bolivia in a few weeks. 
In the last few years I've learned a lot about myself. I learned that I am not really myself with everyone and that is starting to bother me, because why not? Why wouldn't I want to be myself around my best friends? The answer is just one word, rejection. A word many people will know how it feels. 
The fear of rejection didn't come for nowhere. It started around the time I got bullied (read the whole story of that here, because it is way to long to write again). If you can't be bothered to read it, it roughly comes down to this: I wasn't accepted the way I was and that made me very shy, which led to more teasing and other stuff. 

It started going down hill from thereon. I made up things to be part of the group, to no longer be different and weird (which are now in my opinion two great things). I said I had a relationship and kissed someone when in fact, I only dreamed about that. I only imagined myself with someone who wouldn't judge me for who I was. 
But the little white lies became bigger and more often than not I wasn't speaking the actual truth anymore. 
Eventually I met new people who did like me for me, although I couldn't and still can't get off the feeling that something is not going completely right and that I do not deserve these friendships. When in actual fact, everyone deserves true friendships.  
This also made me realize that I didn't have to pretend to be someone else for them to like me and I started cutting down the lies (which was very hard for me). It's already going much better and I hope I continue to do so, because living my own true life is much easier than living someone else's. 

I said that being a good person needs practice and that's true. You can't be a good person all your life and you aren't born 'good'. It takes time to know how to behave and for some people it is easier than for others (and that's okay!). 
I think I'm slowly starting to become that better person and I'm aiming for being a good person one day, but for now I'll take the way up to it.

Please share your opinions in the comments below. Do you think you are a good person or do you know things you need to change or don't need to change about yourself? Please let me know so we can help each other.

Calming down

Hello everyone!

Last week I graduated, and of course waiting for the result, whether I graduated or not, brought a lot of stress (so did the exams by the way). 
Since I'm a pretty stressed and nervous person anyways, I began to look for some calming tips and tricks and I wanted to share them with you.
So here are 14 tips to calm down when you're stressed:

1. Take a break.
2. Eat! (Something healthy and not too much sugar. That way you can eat it without feeling guilty and sugar rises your energy level which isn't good anyway)
3. Drink a cup of tea.
4. Listen to some music.
5. Go for a walk.
6. Watch your favorite YouTuber/ serie/ movie.
7. Read a book.
8. Go sit outside.
9. Write in your diary.
10. Write about what your feeling (whether it is in a diary, in your phone or just on a small piece of paper).
11. Talk to some friends.
12. Go do something fun.
13. Go through some old photos.
14. Listen to old music and remember the good times.

I hope this helped some of you going through exams right now or with exams later on or even just for a few relaxing tips. 
If you have more tips and tricks to calm down or relax, leave them in the comments below!

P.s. Obviously I didn't thought of all of these myself, so I don't take the credit for all of them.

P.p.s. I started a YouTube channel today and I'd love it if you could check it out. Not to subscribe per se, but just to see if you'd like it.

Holiday pictures

Hello everyone!
Guess who's back! (Back, back, back again... okay no).

So it's been a while since I've written a blogpost, but now I'm back home and ready to continue this blog.

I went to Mallorca with some friends to celebrate finishing high school and had some amazing photo opportunities while I was there. If you read my post about my love for photography, you will know that that made me very happy.

Day one:

The first day we explored the place we were staying, El Arenal, Llucmajor, Mallorca. It's was so lovely to just wander around the boulevard and just talking and taking in the first bits of warm sunshine. 

Day two:

 The next day we went to Palma de Mallorca which was only about 45 minutes by bus from where we were staying. 
We started at the Catedral de Mallorca. The cathedral was on top of a small hill and from there you had a beautiful view of the gardens, sea and the other side of the island. 
Then we walked to the city center to have a look around. To be completely honest mostly to shop. After our shopping and sightseeing (there are so many nice little alleyways in Palma that are not touristy and very beautiful), we had a drink at a local bar and went back to the hotel. 
I'd recommend, if you are planning to go to Mallorca, you go to Palma de Mallorca. Not to shop, but to just walk around and turn right and left here and there to get the real feeling of the city, instead of the tourist feeling. 
Another nice thing was that in El Arenal, where our hotel was situated, everyone spoke German or English and you hardly heard Spanish. In Palma de Mallorca on the other hand hardly anyone spoke English, so you had to communicate in Spanish. Which will sound horrifying to every non-Spanish speaking tourist, but for me, having had 5 years of Spanish class at high school, it was a dream come true to finally being able to use the things I'd learned. 
Around 5 o'clock we went back to El Arenal and chilled at the beach for a while. After we had dinner we watched the sun set and it was beautiful. (Another great thing about Mallorca, the sunsets were incredible each and every night we were there, so if you are a sunsetlover like me, you'll love this place).

Day three:

 The third day we went to Cuevas de Drach, the caves around Porto Cristo. 
Thinking it would only be about a 30 minutes bus ride, we stepped in the bus and sat down. After about 45 minutes we figured out that we calculated the time completely wrong and we ended up driving for 1,5 hours to get to the caves which were apparently on the other side of the island. 
When we finally arrived at our destination, we got our tickets and went in the caves. They were unreal. The size of the cave and the thousands of stalactites and stalagmites were unbelievable. 
After the walk and a concert in the caves, we went back outside and wandered around for a bit. We spotted a man standing on a cliff a bit further away and decided we wanted to do that as well. So we began walking over the rocks along the seaside and eventually came at the cliff. The view and surroundings were absolutely beautiful. The seawater was bright blue and green, and the plants and rocks looked like they were supposed to be on a postcard you'd normally sent to your family with the message: "This isn't what we saw, but apparently it should be like this...". 
After we had lunch on the rocks, we went back to the busstop, only to find out that we just missed the bus back, so we waited 2 hours in the sun just chatting about everything and anything. 
After the same 1,5 hours back we went to the beach to relax and enjoy the sun and slight breeze.
And after dinner we saw yet again an amazing sunset (they just don't get any less pretty, even if you see them every night...).

Day 4:
We didn't really do anything special that day haha. We just chilled on the beach and walked along the shore for a bit, because it was our last day there. 
So I'll leave you with a few more sunset pictures (Why you might ask? Because I really like them and they were fricking nice, okay??)

  Now I'm back home I'm planning to get more into blogging, so if you have any ideas you want to see me blog about let me know!

P.s. I know there are a lot of pictures in this post, so sorry if your phone, computer or internet crashes haha. 

Holiday & A New Direction With My Blog

So I realized that my last few posts have not really been what you'd call 'uplifting' or 'happy' and I want to change that. I didn't start this blog to complain or be sad. I started it to be myself and to have a place where I can write how I feel. This turned out to be sad and full of anxiety and that is not the full me. The full me is also very happy and cheery. 

I had in mind to be posting regularly every Monday with a new post, so there would be a regular 'postingsystem'. 
Then I remembered that I am going on holiday upcoming Saturday, so I won't be home next Monday to post, since I am going to take a break of the internet. 
I will be in Mallorca for the next 6 days to relax with 2 other friends, since, here in the Netherlands, we finished our final exams which means that we have a 3 month break. Then I'll be going to London with my aunt until Tuesday which means I'll miss another Monday (please don't take this as bragging about my holidays, I just want to explain why I will be gone for 2 weeks). 

Therefore my goal to post every Monday is starting in 3 weeks and then I will try my hardest to post every Monday. 
My next post will probably be filled with photos of my holidays so keep an eye out for that!
And from then onwards I will be mostly posting happy, cheery and funny posts to make your day a bit better and maybe a more serious post here and there ;).

I hope you will still be here when I'm back.

Let me know what plans you have for your upcoming break/ summer in the comments below.

See you in 3 weeks!

P.S. The same is for my Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram.

A Letter To My Future Self

The idea of this post came from this video from Troye Sivan. I loved it a lot and it inspired me to write this. 
I hope that in a few years time I will be able to say "I have done these and I'm proud of them".

I am not one that writes goals in the beginning of the year, because I already know I won't be able to achieve them. However, this way is different. For me, these aren't goals to achieve, they are motivations or drive. I hope they will keep me going and achieving my longterm dreams.

So here we go:


Dear Laetitia of 2020,

Have you graduated? How was living in Bolivia? Have you spent more time with friends and family (because Laetitia from 2015 wasn't very good at that)? Have you started studying International and European Law yet? Have you finished your master? Have you found a job that pays your rent? But most importantly, have you found a job that you love? 
Have you made some new friends? Have you been resting enough? 
Are you eating healthy? What's the name of your boyfriend? 
Have you turned off your phone for a week? 
How was Asia? How was Australia? 
And last but not least:
Have you stayed true to yourself?

Hopefully you will read this and think about these questions. If the answer is yes, write a blogpost about what you experienced. If the answer is no... What are you waiting for?

All the love,
Laetitia of 2015


I inspire you reading this to do the same. To make a list with things you like to achieve, but give yourself a realistic time frame. 
There are many ways of doing this; by writing a blogpost, by making a YouTube video or by making a list in a diary. Choose your own way and make it happen!

I hope you liked this and that it encouraged you to make plans for the future too. And as always, let me know if you liked this and send me links if you did the same. I'm sure I can learn from you guys!

Finals Stress

Today I wanted to talk about something I have been and pretty much still am suffering with, stress for exams. 
Tomorrow my final exams start and in the Netherlands they count as 50% of your final grade for a subject, so pretty important I'd say. 
And, being my very stressful self, to say I'm stressed is an understatement. 
Obviously being stressed is not really healthy, so I discovered a few things that, either make studying a bit easier or help you calm down. 

1. If you have to take an exam for a subject you find very hard, it is really important that you rest enough between taking test exams or repetition. If you are stuck one a certain topic, just take a quick break for some food. When you come back you will have a clearer mind. But also, if you are in the right flow and things are going good, try not to get distracted by your phone or laptop, that way you will gt more done and feel good when you stop. And very important, celebrate when you give a right answer to a hard question. That way you'll stay motivated.
2. It is very important to eat and drink enough during studying or your exam. We are allowed to bring some food and a drink to our exam and that gives you the opportunity to take a short break to drink a bit or eat something small. It also gives you the energy to continue and will help to clear your head. 
3. When I start a test I always look at the number of questions I have to answer before I start, so I won't miss any of them. That way you also know how many questions you should have answered when you're half way.
4. QUALITY BEFORE QUANTITY! This one is very important. It is better to answer the question completely right and then maybe skip a few, instead of answering all the question in a rush and making mistakes. 
5. In addition to number 4, if you don't know the answer right away or in a few minutes, just skip the question and continue with the next one and you can come back to it in the end. 
6. If you get really stressed before your test, I wrote some tips for calming down at the end of my post about anxiety and panic attacks ( you can find that one here).
7. And last but not least, it doesn't matter if you fail once or twice. You are allowed to find a subject difficult and you are allowed to fail a test. It isn't the end of the world. I wish someone had told me that a few years ago, because it would have calmed me down a lot. 

Please tell me if you have any more tips or tricks for taking an exam or stress in general and leave them in the comments below. 

I hope it helped some of you coping with stress.

And for the people who are taking them right now: Good luck, you can do it!

My Passion

Hi everyone!

Today I really want to write about my passion which is photography. 
I have been quite stressed lately (mostly because my finals are coming and I am not ready!) and I found out that a nice way to relax is to go on a short walk. I live right down a hill and a forest, so I just walk for about 45 minutes in the forest to calm down. 
Now I don't really like just strolling around, so I have found a way to make it more special. I take my IPod for some music and my camera with me and anywhere that I see a nice shot I take it. I don't really care if the lighting is perfect or the quality is amazing, I just want to capture the moment. 

This passion for photography is not something from the past few months. I have always loved to capture things; from rocks to shells, from tickets to business cards and slowly I took the camera from my father more and more to capture pictures while we were hiking or on vacation. 
Later my parents decided to give me my own little camera and I loved taking photos with that little thing. Since then I have upgraded a bit, but I still love that camera to make pictures with. 
Like I said, I don't really need the best quality, I enjoy a photo from an old crappy camera or my phone just as much. 

I also enjoy taking pictures of nature and landscapes more than pictures of people. To me they are way more interesting and every time you look at them, you see something new. 

Anyways, that was all I wanted to say about photography (for now).

I will leave you with some of my newest ones:

I hope you enjoyed it and leave a comment about your passion or hobby.
Also if you have any tips for me about blogging or photography, leave them in the comments :)

P.S. The camera I have used to make most of these photos is my dads Sony A200. I am planning on buying my own Canon so I can use it more often and hopefully learn and improve.

Who Am I?

Last night I realized that I had never introduced myself and that I just started writing at some point. 
So I thought better late than never. 
I don't really like to just write about myself in a long story, so I will write down as many facts I can think of. 
So here you have 21 facts about me:

1. My name is Laetitia.
2. I'm dutch.
3. I'm 17 years old.
4. I'm graduating this summer (so I probably should be studying right now, but hey, this is way more fun).
5. I love reading.
6. I love chocolate.
7. I love Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, Snapchat and Blogspot (obviously).
8. I am obsessed with YouTube.
1. My favorite YouTubers are: Zoella, Thatcherjoe, Pointlessblog, Sprinkleofglitter, Troye Sivan, Tyler Oakley, Superfruit, Danisnotonfire, AmazingPhil, Jacksgap, FunForLouis, Jim Chapman and the list goes on and on.
9. I love the feeling you get when you listen to an old song and all the memories start to come back.
10. If I come across a song that I like, I listen to it over and over again until I completely hate it. 
11. My favorite song at the moment is Don't Wait by Mapei. 
12. My favorite band (?) is Pentatonix. 
13. I hate to brush my teeth.
14. My dream is to travel around the world, FunForLouis style.
15. I am going to study International and European Law. 
16. I have started several diaries, but never been able to finish one. 
17. Until I was 15, I always had my hair in a braid.
18. I have filmed several videos to put on YouTube, but I was always to scared to actually post one. 
19. I love writing.
20. I love taking photos.
21. I love long walks on my own.

Now you know at least a bit more about me. 

I really hope you enjoyed it :).

Dealing With The Bullies?

Let me start by saying that I'm not writing this to get attention or something like that. I'm just hoping to help some of you who are going through the same thing as I did.

Let's just start with the beginning.

I started (Dutch) high school six years ago and when I left my primary school, I also left my best friends. 

I went to high school with a good friend but she did another level, so we almost never saw each other. This really pained me.

I was put in a class with a few children from my old school, but I was not at all friends with them.

I also need to say that the day before my first day of high school, my grandma had to go to hospital and died 2 weeks later. This was a lot for me, because I saw her a lot. 

I became this really shy, quiet en little girl. Needlessly to say, I became the center of bullying. The problem was, however, that I didn't know I was bullied. I thought I just wasn't good enough and I really did try to change myself, but I couldn't (and I couldn't be happier that I didn't). 

I became more and more quiet until I was sick almost everyday. At the time I did not realize that I was school sick. The only thing I knew was that I was better as soon as my parents told me I could stay at home. I was so happy when I knew I didn't have to go through this that day.

Of course they didn't let that happen too often, but when I went to school I had to throw up and go home. At the worst period, I missed 86 hours of school in just half a year. 

This was obviously not good at all, so I decided, with the help of my parents, to go and see the school's psychologist. 

The other problem I was suffering with, was that I had way to many fails, so it was very likely for me to not pass my year. For many of you, this probably won't be a bad thing, but for me it was the worst. If I had to double my year, I would have failed myself, I would be a shame to myslelf etc. 

The psychologist however made me write down the pros and cons of doubling and I soon found out that there were way more pros than cons. This was in a weird way very encouraging and in the end I past the year. 

She also made me recognize the sort of bullying that was happening to me. I thought at the time, the only way of bullying was calling names and beating people up and that wasn't happening to me. 

She showed me that ignoring and never being included in groups was also a way of bullying. This made me realize that it wasn't necessarily me that was wrong, it also was the fault of the bullies. 

This made me feel so much better.

When I went into the fourth year, the classes were changed drastically and I met some new friends and I had never come home so happy after school. I guess they will never know how important they are for me. They make me feel appreciated and I started, slowly but steadily, to open up and speak again during lessons. (Right now I love discussing about everything and debate with teachers).

Now I'm in my last year and, as cringe this may sound, I can look back at my high school time as a very important life lesson.  

I now come home from school so happy and I go to school with a kind of excitement that I get to see my friends again even if it is only during the breaks.

I guess the message I want to give is for everyone that is bullied: It may be shitty now, but I KNOW it'll get better. Even if it doesn't feel like it now, I know it will.

The other message I want to give is to the bullies: Although you might think that what you are doing, can do no harm, that is not the case. 

For me personally it has lead to the fact that I don't open up to people unless I know them very well. I also immediately have the impression that everyone dislikes me and (if you are a friend that is reading this, probably not but hey maybe) that is probably why I don't look up or stay really on the surface instead of telling you about my deeper thoughts (that sounded really weird, but you know what I mean).

I guess the thing I want to say is, even though you might think you do no harm to anyone, even the little things, like ignoring or calling names, can affect people for the rest of their lives. 

The last thing I want to say is, this is my perspective of things and my story. I know bullying can go to many higher levels, but it affect someone's life anyway and big!

Please tell me about your experiences (if you want of course) and maybe leave some tips in the comments below. 

And to end this post with a positive note: be kind to others and they will be kind to you!

Social Anxiety/ Panic Attacks

Hi everyone! 

Today I wanted to just write some things of my mind, so it might not be interesting, but maybe it'll help some of you.

So basically I've been suffering for anxiety for a while now and I just wanted to get a few things of my chest.

So for a while now I've been feeling really anxious around people, just trying so hard to fit in. Because of this I've been getting a few panic attacks lately. 
Basically I was bullied for three years and that kind of ruined my trust in everyone. I used to have a few friends, but later I found out that they were talking behind my back and this just got worse and worse until I wasn't part of anything anymore and this bothered me a lot. I tried and tried to make new friends, but each time I was disappointed and thrown back to the place I started. 
Luckily after the first three years of High school (I think it is High school, I live in the Netherlands so it is a bit different, the classes changed completely and I told myself to be brave and try one last time. So I did and soon I got in touch with 3 people and immediately felt really save. Still I couldn't fully be myself, I was too afraid of loosing the great friendship we built. However I soon found out that I had to be more open in order to get closer to the people I liked. So step by step I opened up and also started discussing in lessons and generally being more with people and being more open to people. 
I now have made a few more friends, but there is still that weird feeling of the need to hold back. When I feel like I get to close to someone, I shut down and try to create distance again, which I will immediately regret afterwards, because I was having a good time. 
But sometimes when I'm not really feeling like it, I just go with it and talk about everything. A few weeks ago, a friend asked me about my anxiety and panic attacks and I suddenly spilt everything. I never did that before, but somehow he got it out of me. It felt so good to be able to talk about it and get it of my chest, just like I'm doing right now. 

My form of panic attacks are mostly when I'm around people I do know, but don't want to disappoint. It is not that I'm really shy (I was really shy when I was little, but not anymore), it's just that I don't want to let someone down. It is a bit weird, because discussing in class and giving presentations are no problem, it is just conversing with friends that is the hard bit. 

I really didn't write this to be pitied of to get attention. I needed to get this of my chest and I hope that if someone reads this, they'll take something away from it. Be it because they suffer from anxiety themselves or if they know someone who does. 

I'd like to end this ramble (sorry for that by the way) with a few things you can do when you feel anxious. These are things I like to do and that help me:

• Listen to (relaxing) music. Just pop some music up on your phone or IPod, so you always have the possibility to listen to something. It helps to calm down and to relax. 
• Try to talk to a friend about it and try to explain what happens with you when you have a panic attack and how they can help you. 
• And last but not least, try to not think about it. It is the hardest thing, but it really helps. I was for example in London on a school trip and was feeling really anxious the whole trip. But a friend and I started somehow talking about YouTube (I think because of my phone background of Joe Sugg). He probably didn't know, but it really helped me relax and think about something else. And I think it was the next day that I was feeling really anxious, but I didn't want anyone to know, because I didn't want to be annoying. But then in the afternoon my friend and I started singing a kinds of song of I think Abba and the Sound Of Music and it really helped to relax and to enjoy my time in London. 

These are just a few tips and examples of how I deal with it, but of course it is different for everyone. 

If you want to know more or if you have any questions, just write them in the comments. 

I hope I helped some of you!
