That’s actually very reassuring to know — danke! :)

Hallelujah!

But also, in all seriousness, (1) I’ve been told it’s a good idea to know some German, esp. in smaller towns, and (2) why not experience the full range of cultural immersion in a new country!?

Will try my best— thank you for the encouragement 😭

(I honestly didn’t find French nearly as hard as Deutsch, but maybe that was because I grew up learning it in school??)

It is with great humility that I admit I had gravely underestimated how hard learning German would be… I am now a reformed woman 😔

For sure! I’m still exploring, but I’d say I lean towards applied micro (health, environment) and development, but open to anything and everything at the moment!

Casually dropped “Datenshutz„ (the universe knows I despise these commas, but I must) into a conversation. Feeling very cool and culturally integrated 😎

You know it’s getting serious when Instagram recommends memes and reels in Deutsch 😭

To all my Econ ppl on here: what do you think are some essential readings/ media someone about to start grad school in the subject should be looking into??? Thanks!

TFW the short (but mundane) task you’ve been putting off for too long doesn’t take too much time and/or energy

Life would be so different if only my brain understood the difference between being chased by a large predator and completing a small task that shouldn’t take much time at all

Throwback to when, in a fit of pure unbridled ambition, I changed my phone settings to German, only to cry in “I don’t understand any of this” and then immediately change them back 😔
