I NEEDED A BREAK – MEGA RECAP OF THE PASTS MONTHS

Hey babes💕 I’ve been super MIA over the past months but I am back and hopefully better than ever💥 With this post, I wanna catch you up on everything that has happened over the winter, why I haven’t been posting, where I’m at now, and and and😊 So let’s get into it💪🏼

Let’s begin where we left off – I got back from my wonderful trip to Spain and started the new semester. And let me tell you, that one didn’t go easy on me🤭 Ever since I moved out of my hometown and started my studies here in Hamburg, I really struggled with seasonal depression but during this past winter it was definitely the worst it ever has been😞 That is also one of the main reasons I’ve been so absent on here – I just couldn’t bring myself to sit down and write blog posts when my head and whole body just felt so empty. On many days I couldn’t even bring myself to get out of the bed.

So now, I’m more than happy that the darker days are mostly over and the sun is starting to come back more and more – sunlight really is my main source of energy☀️😅

The one positive thing during the winter was a truly wonderful Christmas time at home😍 I could disconnect from all the work that was waiting for me, from all the upcoming exams that I had to study for, and from all the negative feelings. I felt so trapped in this period of life. After having the best time in Sweden last year, coming back to Germany just felt like a major setback in my personal development, I wasn’t happy with my studies and living situation anymore but couldn’t do anything about it because I knew I still had a year left to finish my degree.

So getting out of this rabbit hole of negative emotions by spending a lot time with my parents and old friends from school really helped me to gain some new energy😊 And as you can see – we got blessed with some beautiful sunny days and some snow even (which became really rare over the past years)❄️

Back in Hamburg, I fell right into the next hole and didn’t do anything but study for pretty much two months straight. I wanted to write as many exams and papers as possible so I could be able to finish my degree by this summer. It was a crazy lot of work but I pushed through and now I just started into my final semester this week, so yay, I’ll be done in a few months🤩 But more about that later…😏

During the semester break, I wanted to spend more time taking care of myself after spending so many weeks just working and studying👍🏼 I went back to my hometown again for two weeks and spent some quality time with family and friends. This brunch with my mom was SO nice and we both agreed we need to do this more often since she really doesn’t live that far away from me😍

After doing only home workout and not going to the gym for months because I didn’t want to get Covid or even a cold that would keep me from studying, I finally went back and trained with some weights again which felt so so good😍

To finish the semester break the right way, I spent some days in a wonderful wellness hotel by the Baltic Sea with a close friend of mine – we had a great time going for long walks by the beach, relaxing in the sauna, and eating great food🤩

Everything was perfect😍 Until… We got back and I tested positive for Covid😫 So yeah, the plan of making the best out of the last week of my semester break didn’t really work out – I spent it in quarantine instead😅 But hey, who knows what it’s good for, maybe that was the immunity boost I needed for getting back to uni next week😂🙄

To wrap it up – I survived the infection and 10 days of quarantine that seemed to be never ending😅 Now the new semester started but I’m in a very positive mindset because I know it will be my last🎉 I only have five months left here in Hamburg before starting a new chapter (I have no idea what that will look like btw but I guess I’ll figure it out lol😂) so now I’m keen to make the most of the next few months and I set myself the goal to be more active with the blog, so stay tuned for more regular updates in the near future😊

Until then, try to not get Covid loves, it’s no fun😂🥴 I’ll talk to you soon💕
