My 16th Birthday

Bild
How the Americans would say: Sweet Sixteen, that's what I always saw in movies. The big parties and the big deal about the 16th birthday. I mean I can understand why it may is a special birthday for teenagers in America, because they can drive. So to be honest my birthday didn't start that good, I was kind of sad to celebrate my birthday without my family. It was the first time that I was away from home on my birthday. But I got around 50 messages from Switzerland. My friends, my relatives and close friends of my family wrote me and wished me a great birthday. That was really great and thanks again I appreciated that! It was just a reminder that my life in Switzerland is still where it was three months ago and that it would still be there in eight months. I went to school and the messages didn't stop. I met my friends and in German they also celebrated me. At lunch, I skyped with my parents and my sisters.

1st American Halloween

1ST AMERICAN HALLOWEEN My first American Halloween started way earlier than the 31 October. It's tradition that most of the families decorate their houses.

the truth about being back home

dear exchange year where did the time go? so many times back then, when i wanted to be back home and was so sad, thought i missed out on all the things that actually didn't happen. to all those times, i'm sorry, it's not worth thinking about this when you actually have the time of your life. you're in piece, nobody is bothering you and you live your life to the fullest, this is what all of this is about. this past year i learned all the more about being independent and doing what is right for myself, for my soul and body. all the minutes i spent alone at home, all these minutes are the ones which teach us the most. sometimes you are alone and that is fine and it's what made me as a person stronger. every exchange year is unique and different and just because mine wasn't like my friend's, it's not stressing me because i used my time wisely and made progress. my own progress. expectations weren't fulfilled and don't be scared when you leave you...
