Update

Unfortunately, I have been slacking on the  blog for the past months, but my personal journal is still going strong. However there are some updates on this first day of Spring. While many of you are shoveling snow Germany is transitioning from the mild winter of -3 to 3 C to spring weather of 9C.

 I was originally going to make a post after my mid-year seminar in Cologne, however I was sick for the whole week except the day we went to Bonn with norrovirus that hit us pretty hard (50/54 casualty rate) not the reunion anyone would've planned but it made for many great moments! I did manage to visit the Beethoven Haus as well as the Cologne Dom/ church and the SS Museum/jail.

 Since then I have  made it too all but one sight in Potsdam, and a exchange student and I spent the night in Berlin and went to the Ethnic and culture museum which unfortunately wasn't all that good :(

 I have come across a few great antique and money/ book shops and well yeah, I've made a few good purchases.

 School is still going very well and I have quite a few trips coming up over the next month which i anticipating and in the meanwhile of that, playing soccer and studying for my SAT my schedule has gotten very busy, but nothing I can't handle

 Till next time!

What's a break without fresh air?

 It is natural for us humans to become complacent with our lives, the people, and the opportunities at our disposal. This behavior is innate and completely understandable. Think about it, if you saw a [beach] everyday, you may not view it with the excitement of someone who grew up days away from the ocean. This is not due to a lack of appreciation, but rather because [it] was at your becking call, [it] was easily... accessible. Take a chance and try something new, you never know what awaits I think many of us can agree that humans are often habitual creatures. More often then not, our lives get busy and we find comfort in our routines. The increasingly fast-paced, urbanized, and technologically advanced nature of society does not help combat this tendency. Luckily, there are currently 61 National Parks across the United States that can provide the change of environment and therapeutic experiences many of us subconsiously seek. https://www.mapsofworld.com/usa/national-parks...

1 year in the box

It has been quite a bit since my last post, however now that it is summer and I have more free time I will be sure to try and update on a normal basis once again. The long second semester has come to end... well, that is a bit of an overstatement because the time sure did fly by. Exams, hangouts, a first all- nighter  and lunch dates. Those four things pretty much sum up the semester, and although it has come to an end, life continues and the next chapter began in a great way. After moving out of the dorm and bidding farewell to the campus for the next few months we passed some time sitting down and enjoying  boba . We then took a tour of the library exhibits (Beethoven and Steinbeck) before heading to the hotel. We enjoyed some great gyros and then called it a night. Enough  for 2 One of the keys to a successful trip is a happy driver and food of course. Luckily both of those were present and by morning we were on the road for our next st...

Where Now?

First off I want give a sincere Thank You to everyone who made the trip to Canada great and who supported and showed up to my party. Took a bit to get there, but the trip was thoroughly enjoyed and seeing/ spending time with you all made my summer (and it isn't even over yet.) Where to next? well you will just have to stay tuned! You mean no 5 o'clock traffic? The blueberries weren't out yet, but at least these guys were around Just something about a country lifestyle that makes you happy It was all gone so fast  When you realize afterwards that you didn't photograph your food Looking a little thirsty I was... pretty stoked to see a few bees buzzing
