Once long ago, I wanted to change to a school that wasn’t accepting any new students. I waited years and they finally said they’ll accept a few more. I had to go through an interview and I was sick and my voice was 80% gone and I sounded like a frog. I persisted and I answered every question as I would have if I were fine, and my throat killed after that. I got into the school that I had wanted. Then when I was finally there I despised it and missed my old school.

2015; 1. Sleep earlier, rise earlier - get off your phone, set a time, create a habit. 2. Read more - and not just shitty fanfics. Read them too. But read. Read classics, read newspapers, read magazines, read fictional books, read joke books. Just read. 3. Stay away from people who do not deserve you - you are worth a lot more. Fuck their shitty opinions. 4. Eat well - and I don’t mean diet. I mean, eat well. Eat healthy, indulge every once in a while, but don’t go overboard. Eat for your health and not for society. 5. Create a plan that will be enjoyable for exercise and just do it - no fucking around this year 6. Study well - an hour every single day. Just one hour of uninterrupted, that’s all it will take. Apprendre et travail dans Francais - Je ne sais pas si ce est juste, pardon a mon francais suiveurs 7. Pamper yourself- give yourself one hour. One hour a week to unwind. To wash your hair, leave in your conditioner, soak your skin, have a face mask, shave your legs, light some candles, drink some tea, put on nice smelling lotion and comfy pajamas, put on some nice music and sleep well. 8. Put in an effort - doing your hair nicely, putting on that clean change of clothes and a simple coat of mascara has a lot of power to make you feel a hell of a lot better 9. Learn new VOCAB - because why the fuck not? Write down your new words that you learn while reading, use them in conversations; expand your vocab, because when you are sitting in the exam room, you’ll be glad you have. 10. Plan an outing once a week - have something to look forward to, to be excited for. Experience new things. 11. Set small goals - 3 small things to do every day, and don’t sleep till you have them done. 3x365 knowledgeable achievements will be worth it - trust me 12. Meet new people - don’t be so quick to judge. 13. Love yourself - I’m still trying to figure this one out, but I’m beginning to feel like I am worth it. 14. Art - practice makes perfect. Work, and when you can’t work, learn. Discover artists and their pieces, their inspirations, their style. Document it. There is always something to do to improve, whether it be through practice or research. 15. Stick to these goddamn goals. 2015 will be the shit if I make it.

My ideal life involves climbing icebergs in the arctic, slacklining between skyscrapers, diving through ocean caves and skydiving all around the world. But for now I'm running away to the black forest.

So yes there is Islamophobia. Racism is extremely high towards Muslims atm because that is what the Western media is concentrating on. There are thousands and thousands and thousands of conflicts in the world, but the conflict in the Middle East takes priority in the Western mind because it is one of the few that potentially directly affects them

So in sum, yes there is an epidemic of islamophobia and the media is almost entirely to blame.

it is a kind of racism, i would say, and i think it happens. In Berlin, for instance, there is a big Islamic immigration there, some of them are better integrated, but still there is a gap. In general, I guess that people associate the religious to terrorism and extremists.

it is hard to say if there is more racism against Muslims, it is just easier to identify, like the women wearing the hijab.

I don't watch much television, but back in Brazil most of the news that we got related to the Islamic countries, were always negatives somehow

Then we get just this one sided perspective, perhaps.

and i don't see it as a real intolerance, at least in europe...but more like a negative idea + a cultural shock, because of the different traditions and culture.

well.. i think it is enough hope it helps

Helloo Actually I think that you ask these infos to the wrong person. I'm NOT reading the swiss newspapers. I mainly read google.news where the sites and newspapers are all very different. Honestly I'm more with erasmus people then with swiss citizens, so I dunno exactly what their thoughts about this topic are. I know that some swiss are kinda "racist" or make stupid jokes even about italians, and its not even about religion, its about people and their way of behaving in our society.

[secretlifeofkay]

usually i don't like to talk about this kind of subjects (religion,racism,...)

cuz i don't give a fuck about that and i believe that in each thing there the bad and the good so people must be intelligent to be aware of that

anyway,i can give my opinon but we to talk on skype or smthg

Antonin:

I think they are quit badly portrayed. I mean there is for sure some kind of racism towards them although its way less important than in france

[secretlifeofkay]

we have the SVP and they are racists, yes. on the other hand, you have other parties, which have opposite interests. me myself, I dont care what religion a person have. But based on my exeriences, ppl who are from Exjugoslavia are the most unfriendly ones Ec coc lien

[secretlifeofkay]

I haven't seen any muslims portrayed in Swiss media, but I'd say there's a general less than positive impression of it. Kat yeo

[secretlifeofkay]

Mmh… In my opinion swiss people are really open to other ethnies compared to some other europeean countries… but in period of fear or worries due to terrorism, there is maybe a really really small stigmatisation! But racism i wouldnt say, juste a little fear
