2016

Is starting off...quite different that other years. I got back from my exchange semester before Christmas, leaving behind an amazing city and a great group of friends as well as my boyfriend...there are now over 7′000km and an ocean between us. I have been a student for all my life but right now, until september, I am no student anymore. I am applying for internships, going to interviews, trying to enter the working world in my field of study. So much has changed in the last 6 months and the year 2016 will be different already. So I really hope I can make some changes I wanted to do for a long time now. My expectation for 2016 is a lot of new and exciting things as well as a lot of heavy heartedness. I feel like it will be a very defining year for me.

spending a few minutes to think about what you can add to a conversation but by the time you found the right thing to say the subject has already changed.

Hi guys!

I haven’t been active on here for what feels like forever. Weirdly enough I’ve gotten a few new followers this last month alone, so a special hi to you guys and how did you find me?? Anyway, there has been a lot going on so I’m giving you the very short version. I’m in Chicago right now doing an exchange semester and I joined a gym here about 2 weeks ago. I haven’t been as much as I’d planed to but I did go a few times and I will go again tomorrow. School is crazy, healthy food expensive and I am pretty much broke. So I don’t know how this will turn out but I’ll try to be active a little every day. k, so see you guys soon.

I really need to start eating healthy again and to work the fuck out! My BMI should be around 20 and 25 and I got a 24...and I haven’t worked out in about a year except for a 4k (which is a record btw) run about 2 or 3 weeks ago. There’s a lot of fashion this summer and even more this fall (I think) that I would love but just really feel self concious wearing. Also I’m out of breath after running for a bus or walking some stairs. I don’t want that. In general I’ve just been a lazy fuck for the last 2 years and I’ve done NOTHING I didn’t have to do (like school or work) and yeah there’s not that much time left after doing those but enough to go out there and do SOMETHING! I just don’t want to be this person anymore. I used to have drive, motivation, inspiration, ambition...I used to be a lot happier.

Just a reminder, that no matter what you read on tumblr:

Losing weight is hard

Changing your lifestyle or fitness levels is hard

You will make mistakes

You will learn a lot about yourself and those around you

Its OK and normal to be scared that you will fail - lets talk about it

Its OK to be honest about your fears - lets talk about it

Don’t be afraid to change your method or direction if its not working

You don’t have to pretend your journey is easy to make your followers happy Be humble. Love yourself.

I’m shortening this rant to it’s conclusion: I need to find another job.

I also got my hair cut! It’s a bit shorter now and I love it!! (even though I wanted to let it grow longer until the evening before the appointment)

Your favorite workouts?

I’ve been away for a while but trying to fit working out into my schedule again. I’ll love to try some new stuff and I’m just wondering what you guys love to do as a workout at the moment.

Update:

I know I’m not on here a lot, or at least I don’t post a lot. I don’t really have much to post about because I have been really unhealthy for months. I’ve tried to start making healthy choices again many times, but didn’t go through with them. BUT I went on a short run today. Only 1.3k but still better than watching netflix on my couch. I’ll also cook a healthy dinner today. I’m not gonna make any promises on here about that this time I will stick to healthy choices again. I’ll just take it day by day. I do hope to make some changes befor the 12th of June though because I’m gonna go to a festival then. Hope you guys are having a great spring =)

90% of eating disorders begin with a diet. 

30% of all diets end in an eating disorder. 

99% of dieters gain back all the weight and more. 

Yo-yo dieting increases your chance of high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and early death. 

Diets are dangerous. Say no to diet culture.

This is so important!

grades rant

No, this is not your typical rant about grades.

I'm applying for a semester abroad in Chicago and for that I have to translate my transcript of records (because apperantly my school can't do it) and then have them validating my translation. But here's the thing: At my school we grade with letters (which is not typical for Switzerland) but we don't use the same scale as the US. So I first have to translate our letters to our numeric grading system and then translate that one into the US letter grading system, which really doesn't go well. This sucks >.<
