The Staying

Its been a while since I have even opened this blog. There is a lot to catch up on with my fav fans who read this blog. JK the fact that this blog got clicked 3500 times over the last 4 years is hilarious. More than for anybody else but for myself I wanted to start a little timeline of what happened in the meanwhile.

2018: Moved to Olney Illinois made great friends who I have no contact with anymore. Started working for a prof. at Vincent University.

2019: Quit everything I was doing and moved to Holland Michigan. Made a handful of friends but mostly I was busy working. Def. the year where I hit rock bottom I had no money my relationship was going to be ending just a couple months into the year and I had no friends besides the couple work homies I liked to hang with and I could stand talking to. What a year… I’m still looking back and questioning why I have chosen the path to move to Michigan. By late 2018 I had just figured everything out in Olney IL and started making real friends.
Anyhow I’m very grateful that I did what I did, this was quintessential the whole reason why I moved to America in the first place. Getting out of the comfort zone was the goal of this whole trip. Well in 2019 I achieved to end up on the other side of the comfort zone. The place I have been in was more a underpass at a foggy never ending night.
By the end of 2019 I can say I was in a desperate to find the comfort zone again.

2020: Started off great I spent the holidays with my fam in Germany. The fact that I had sex over Christmas after an infinity definitely helped my mood. However getting emotionally attached to someone living on the opposite site of the bond is not recommended if you even care the siltiest about your mental state. So that ended again soon after I got back to America and left a slight scare on my ice cold heart *HAHA.
That year I should start to realize that having friends who care about you is the most essential part of a successful live. Not having real friends for the most part of the past 2 years made me excited to start this endeavor.
The Mission :find friends: started once I moved to NC here in NC where I’m sitting right now everything changed. I made friends I like and I was invited to parties. I found that live is more than work and that it is up to the decisions we make on the way that get us where we want to be. It is not to anybody then yours self to make the best out of your live….

That’s where I leave it off for td and let the pictures below take over

In the picture above is the tour group and our tour leader Max.
Max lives in Chicago near the Lake Shore Drive in the north of Chicago.
He lives there with his two hosts Victor and Bill.

At the Bean

We did all the basic Chicago stuff, for example we were at the Bean, made a boat trip and visited the downtown area.
We also met a guy who was a participant of the CBYX-Program a few years ago and he invited us in the Aon-Tower which is one of the highest Buildings in Chicago.
We had a awesome view all over Chicago!

At Max place on Sunday we had a really good BBQ in the middle of Chicago.
It was very delicious and a good end of the weekend.

EIU Eastern Illinois University

    Nachdem wir alles für einen erfolgreichen Start meines ersten College-Semesters organisiert hatten war heute Keegan an der Reihe.
    Keegan startet ab diesem Semester seinen Master of Conducting an der Eastern Illinois University und musste heute ein paar Sachen an der Uni erledigen.
    Also machten Maddy und ich uns daran den Campus zu erkunden was sich als einfacher herausgestellt hat als angenommen. Wir sind die langen Strecken mit dem Golfkart gefahren und nachdem wir den Mittag in der Bibliothek verbracht hatten haben wir ein paar andere Internationals an der Uni getroffen. Es it wirklich faszinierend wie viele andere International´s aus aller Welt sich an einer Universität treffen und alle sind aus anderen Gründen und alle mit anderen Hintergründen hier gelandet.
    Das beste kommt doch bekanntlich zum Schluss, als wir auf dem Rückweg von der Bibliothek waren um uns wieder mit Keegan zu treffen wurden wir von einem jungen Mann angehalten der uns zu seinen Feiern einer Studentenverbindung eingeladen hatte. Die Einladung wird eventuell in Zukunft mit Freude angenommen…!
