I’m back

Hola everyone.

Helloooooooooo. I’m baaaaack. And this time I’m back to stay (at least I hope so). Oh my god, you can’t imagine how much I missed talking to you guys and just literally writing. It feels like I just got home again and slipped into my coziest blanket on the couch. I’m home. And I feel so relieved.

And yes, uni is over. FINALLY. I thought summer break would never come. Do you know how annoying and torturing it is, to scroll through Facebook and other social medias and just see how all the other people on this planet are enjoying their summer holidays and chilling their life and you’re just sitting in your dark room, hammering facts into your head you’ll probably forget two days after the exam. It’s horrible. Seriously. I was so frustrated, that I wanted to burn something down. Relax, I didn’t – or did I…?

What about the exams, you ask? To be honest, they were pretty amazing. I mean, I studied a lot, that’s like one of my characteristics. But the thing is, this time the topics were so much more interesting for me. The last semester, I literally just memorized everything so I could just remember it at the test and that was it. It just wasn’t interesting AT ALL. But this time it was different and I think that made a big difference. Anyway, I smashed the exams and am finally free, which feels like pure heaven.

There are so many things I want to tell you. All the things that happened and all the things that are going to happen. But I’ll keep most of it for the future (which means the next weeks) and just tell you the most important things.

Today I’m meeting up with friend to watch The Conjuring 2, which I know that you know that I’m hyper excited to finally see, I seriously can’t wait. Oh and to chat, because we both had exams the last month and didn’t have much time to talk so we have a lot of stories to tell each other, which is always super amazing.

Oh and today in two days I’ll be already walking down the streets of Copenhagen with my mum. And before you freak out, of course I’ll tell you everything about it and you guessed right, my camera will be with me, as always, and I’ll try show you the beauty of Copenhagen when I get back. Oh and we’re going to see Coldplay there and my mum is literally so damn excited for the concert, because she wanted to see the band for years and on Wednesday her dream will finally come true. Which I’m very very very happy for her, because usually I’m the one who’s drawing her to concert and the one who’s nearly fainting when the acts finally enter the stage and this time it’s the exact opposite. I can’t wait to see her get all fangirly and scream out the lyrics. It will be just wonderful. And besides, Coldplay are like a dream live so I can’t wait to see them too.

Ummm, I guess that’s it by now. I would have material to go on forever and I wish I could, but I think it’s best to split it up. Oh, just one more thing. As I’m such a good student (hehe), I got myself a gift right afterwards. And you know me, of course it had to be something that has something to do with live music. Actually, I bought festival tickets for a electro music festival and guess what? I’ll see Martin – yes, the Martin Garrix, the most amazing DJ – again. And I’m sooooo excited, I really can’t describe it. What a dream-come-true.

So yeah, here’s my update. I really can’t tell you how happy I am to be back again. I just noticed now how much I actually missed it. And you can be sure, I won’t leave for a looooong time (I hope that makes you as happy as me). Oh and if you have any stores or news for me, I’d be superhappy to hear them. And until then, as always, thanks for reading and welcoming me back. x

Flower power and taking a break

Hola everyone.

This post is part of super colorful and happy and woopiedoopie but it also contains a little bit of a downside. Okay, first the negative news to get over with it. I’m currently in my last month of this semester at college, which means that I have work to do 24/7. And it’s kind of a bit stressful for me right now and I’m not really sure where I should start first and I noticed that my blog just turns into one more task for me and it’s kind of just too much for me right now. I have the feeling that I really have to 100 % concentrate on my exams and college, so I decided to take a break for a month. And I know, believe me, it breaks my heart, but I just have to focus on college. That means I’ll be back exactly in one month again, hopefully with a great ending of the semester, good grades and a lot of exciting and thrilling stories and adventures to tell you all about and amazing pictures to share with you. And please believe me, I’m really sorry.

Okay, now that we are all sad, let’s lift the mood again, shall we? Last week I kind of walked around in my college city and it was such a beautiful day so I took my camera with me and took some pics. And they turned out totally wonderful, mostly because there are thousands and thousands of roses blooming everywhere right now. I actually felt like in some kind of fairy tale. So, here’s a little bit of fairy tale feeling for you.

I hope you enjoyed this post and the pictures and forgive me for taking a break and understand my situation. I already can’t wait to be back online. See you all in one month. Thanks for reading. x

VIS – the review

Hola everyone.

As promised, here’s a little review of my days at the film festival “Vienna Independent Shorts”.

First of all I need to say that I’m a huge fan of art and I also have a certain sense for art and things like that. At least I thought so until I sat down in the cinema and everything I believed in vanished in front of my eyes. To be honest, there were really really good movies, but there were also bad ones.

That kind of movies where you sit there and either ask yourself how somebody could call that a movie or art or you just think that you could do that at least ten times better. I even got a headache while watching one (it was kind of just flashing lights for 10 minutes straight).

But for real, there were fantastic movies too. Some were funny, some were like reallyyyyyy deep and others were just thrilling and got me to want to see more and more and more. So yeah, there were good and bad ones.

Overall the week was a really cool experience I wouldn’t want to miss. The weather was nice, I saw a lot of cool people (there were mostly hipsters and alternative ones, what a surprise) and had a lot of fun with my friends. So yeah, I really enjoyed it.

I still hope that I once will be able to visit Cannes or one of the really really big film festivals. Because they just look like you step into a whole different world full of movies, stars and bling bling.

If any of you ever got to visit a film festival like me, I’d be really happy to chat, and also, I’m super interested in stories like that. And until then, I hope you enjoyed this post and, as always, thanks for reading. x

My picnic party

Hola everyone.

As you all know, I’m a reallyyyyy huge youtube-fangirl and I watch a lot of different youtubers. One of those youtubers is the so well-known Zoe Sugg aka Zoella. A week ago or something like that she posted a stunning video of a picnic party she threw for and with her friends and I was fascinated from the first second on. I wanted to be able to throw such a fabulous party too, I just needed a reason.

And last week I got it. This is actually the biggest news EVER, so get excited. A few months ago I applied for an internship at a super famous media and TV company in Berlin. And last week they actually sent me an email that said that I got accepted. Which meaaaans that I’m actually moving to Berlin in November. HOLY MOTHER OF GOD. I know, it’s faaaaar to crazy, I still haven’t realized it. I’m not even able to just imagine it, it’s just so overwhelming. So yeah, actually fulfilling that huuuuuge dream of mine and move to another city for a few months was quite a good reason so throw a little party for me and my best friend.

I have to say, it was awesome. The weather was perfect, I tried to decorate our garden (not as nice as Zoella, but oh well), made some punch, brought snacks and prepared a noodle salad. And then we just sat outside in the sun, enjoying ourselves and the world. It was perfect. And even Molly joined us. I’m really happy that I got to do it. And I can just tell you that if any of you ever get the chance to do a picnic, DO IT. Seriously. It’s so cool and nice and relaxing to sit in the sun, chat with your friends and just enjoy life. And you don’t even need much – a blanket, a nice spot in a field, park or garden, some snacks and drinks and of course your friends. And that’s everything you need to have a evening you’ll remember for a loooong time. If any of you want to know more about my picnic or want recipes for the punch or the salad, just hit me up. And until then I hope you enjoyed this post and the pics down below and of course, as always, thanks for reading. x

VIS – Film Festival

Hola everyone.

I have to say there a lot of exciting things happening right now. One of those things is the film festival I’m attending right now. It’s a festival for short film, animation and music video (VIS) in Vienna.

It started a few days ago and will continue until Thursday next week, so there’s a lot more to come and I have to say, I’m really excited. Although, to be honest, I’ve never really gotten in contact with short movies before. As the movie lover I am, I only cried about the usually long ones – the longer, the better, actually. That’s why I’m even more excited about the festival and super happy that I can attend it. I still don’t want to give away everything now, but as you can probably guess already, I took my camera with me and took some nice pics which I’d like to share with you. If any of you would like to know more about the festival, don’t hesitate to hit up. And until then, I hope you enjoyed this post and, as always, thanks for reading. x

Ps: I’m sorry for posting so late. Actually I posted this blogpost yesterday, but somehow WordPress thought to do me not-so-good favor and just delete it. Thanks WordPress. Anyway, I’m really sorry.

Generation … what exactly?

Hola everyone.

Today is a special day because today I’ll talk about a serious topic. The topic that is called generation, this generation to be exactly. my generation. Those people who are teens right now, exploring the world and themselves.

I’m sure it happens to every generation that the older generations talk about them, but I feel like there’s a general bad feeling coming up when people talk about the people of this generation. We are those teens without motivation. We only care about superficial things. We dream too much (how’s that even possible?). And we don’t respect the older generations and other, mostly older people like we should.

I know what you’re thinking right now. Is this a joke? But it’s certainly not, unfortunately. And while I’m of the opinion that this couldn’t be any more false, I want to explore my generation for myself, because nobody knows who and how we are better than someone form that exact generation.

First of all, we have motivation. Okay, not THAT much motivation, but it depends about the goals and things we are talking about here. If I have to write a five page essay about the ways a company does its accounting, I will for sure not be motivated, at least not as motivated as other people might except me to be. But if I have to write a five pages essay about fashion and trends in order to get it printed in a magazine, I will be so motivated that I’ll finish the essay in an hour. So it really depends. We are motivated. A lot, really. Because we dream. We dream a lot. About our wishes, goals and the future. We just don’t want to earn money by doing a job that we actually hate. The fun and the love for the job is just more important than the money and people need to understand that.

A few decades ago it was important to earn money, because it was needed. But today fun and happiness and motivation and passion are becoming more and more important. I know, there are a lot of also young people out there who need money more than just badly, but I’m talking about those people who can actually chose where to work and what to do with their future.

I think there’s a reason why being a blogger or a youtuber are full-time jobs. People just found a way to turn their hobby into their job and I think that’s more than amazing. Because they will never be unhappy with it, at least I hope so. Today we have so many more choices to make, ways to choose, decisions to take and possibilities that are available. That wouldn’t have been possible in the earlier years. But it is today.

And of course we don’t only care about superficial things, actually they are becoming less important every second. Family, friends, achieving dreams and goals, having a good education, happiness, love and being happy with the person we are and we have become, those are things that really matter. Like REALLY. I know, we like to wear nice clothes, have a good smartphone and live in a nice place, but at the end of the day, those things don’t matter as much as other people would think.

And yes, we respect the older generations. Because we know that they have experienced far more than we have. And because they are those people who hand us over the responsibility for the planet when the time has come. Yes, there mistakes have been made, but I’m sure we can all turn this around and onto the way to a positive end.

Actually, I like the situation how it is right now, because my generation and for example the generation of my parents slowly become one, also through the social media and all of that. Of course, it’s annoying when your parents won’t listen to you because they are far more interested in their Facebook feed they have already seen about 10 times now, but it’s still some kind of come-together. And I like that.

My generation isn’t a bad one. We aren’t perfect, that’s for sure. But we are young and we already know a lot. We (mostly) know what we want, we dream, we think in a positive way and we fight for a better world. A lot of things are changing right now, people’s views are getting broader, the hearts are becoming more and more open. We are the ones who will rule the world in a few years and try to care for it as good as we can. And I think we can do it, I really do.

I hope you enjoyed this post, really. It’s an important topic for me, so I’d really like to know your opinion on this one. So don’t hesitate to talk to me. And until then, as always, thanks for reading. x
