my picture (please give credit) Growing up, my biggest dream was to one day become supernatural. I didn’t care wether I‘d become a fairy, vampire, mermaid or witch. I just didn’t wanna be human. - I wanted to be special and to have special powers with which I could do stuff. I felt so limited in my powers by everyone around me that I didn’t even quite believe I had special capabilities at all.  And I thought the only way to be unique and have some kind of power to change this world for the better was by becoming something „higher“ than human.  And while I still haven’t stopped believing in magic and superpowers, I have learned by now, that they come in different forms and they are already in me and all I need to do is learn how to use them.  One of my superpowers is love. I can love unconditionally, truly and madly. I have learned that this year.  Another one is my ability to put myself in another person‘s positron; I can understand and feel other people witho...

I think we can all agree that school can be suuuper boring *yawn*. From my experience, all regular classrooms (in High School as in College/Uni) usually look dull and grey. The walls are plain and all desks look the same. There is just "so little scope for the imagination" (-Anne of Green Gables)! The environment you are surrounded by pretty much determines your work ethic. If your environment feels cold and uncomfortable, how are you going to find the will to do great things? Personally, I always prefer pretty surroundings, even in School. -Or maybe especially there. Since many other aspects about class can already stress you out enough, it is helpful to do as much as you can to make your mobile workspace feel as comforting as possible. By that I mean, making your limited space in class feel homy and personal. If you're a total introvert -like me- this may even be crucial. I, for my part, can start experiencing serious anxiety when I feel uncomfortable with where I...

DECIDE while others are delaying. PREPARE while others are daydreaming. BEGIN while others are procrastinating. WORK while others are wishing. SAVE while others are wasting. LISTEN while others are talking. SMILE while others are frowning. PERSIST while others are quitting. -Unknown  I touched on this in my latest blog post; starting is the hardest part. And while this may sound like yet another petty saying, there really is a lot to it. Thinking about how hard it's gonna be, how awfully long it is gonna take, how much energy and afford it requires and how much rather you'd be watching the latest episode of "Suits" really does make starting a task seem like the most annoying thing to do right now.  In uni, especially in Law School, it is extremely important to keep things in perspective. For you to stay on top of the game requires to stay motivated all throughout the years. Instead of seeing the assignment as a super unnecessary burden, try to think of it as an...

It's hard to find a start when it comes to studying. Especially when you're already exhausted by just the thought of all the work you have to get done. It's important to realize that, no matter what time a day, you can always find a way to get your head into the right zone, if only you're able to see the excitement of different day times. -Like the freshness of an early morning, always like a new chapter, a new chance to shine. Or the quiet of a late night, with PJs and hot chocolate. It is possible to find beauty at any hour and that, girls and boys, is what can make studying actually exciting. Here are some *aesthetic* concepts that can help you get excited for studying all throughout the day (&night): Early morning:  fresh air and open windows, chirping birds, a cup of hot tea, writing to-do lists for the day, repeating what you learned late last night Mid-Morning/ Pre-Lunch-Time:  taking a walk, then sitting back down, clear brain, a cup of coffee, jumping...
