Hey friends! A few days ago I asked you in my IG Stories to share with me some questions about life that are currently in your head. Some of them I already answered via DM, and a couple of them gave me ideas for future blog posts, so I won’t be answering them here. As…
From foreign to fluent: Tips on mastering a foreign language
A lot of you might know the struggle of living in a country that doesn’t speak your language. Whether you need to master the language or stick to the basics, depends on your goals and future plans. However, if you plan on becoming a fully integrated member of this country’s society, mastering the language is…
Make it happen: Overcoming the fear of change
Happy 2020, friends! As we step into a new year and a new decade, we’re all inevitably looking back on the past year(s) and making resolutions for the year to come. Funnily enough, my last yearly review is just two posts down (damn am I inactive!) and yet, almost every bit of my life has…

“So, how’s life going?” If this question gives you anxiety, you should probably read on.

#startyourdayright: My daily morning routine
Your alarm goes off, you open your eyes and reality is staring you in the face: Outside it’s still dark as sh*t and your bed is about a 100 degrees warmer than the rest of the room. How the hell are you supposed to get up? This is pretty much the everyday reality of us…

Admittedly, I wasn’t always a biker, partly because back…
3 reasons why losing your temper is rarely a good idea
We’ve all been there – that moment when a fight is about to escalate and you’re at the point where you have to choose – should I step back, or should I lose my shit? I definitely used to do the latter. As the drama queen that I was, fighting, provoking and yelling used to…
The „What?”, the “Why?” and the “How?” of this blog
Having mostly written university papers in the last 4 years, I can’t help but start this blog by giving you a classic, methodical overview of what you should expect from it. The Digital Diary, as clear as that name might be, doesn’t quite tell what kind of content its readers might have to come in…
