It feels like ten years ago. Getting drunk in the city center with your friends. Forgetting about all your duties. Just living in the moment. For a long time, this has been put on a hold due to corona. But now, the corona restrictions are as good as gone. And coincidentally, it is also carnaval.... Continue Reading →
I personally always feel like it is my responsibility, and kind of the responsibility of our generation, to save the Earth, or at least the Earth as we know it right now. Climate change is threatening various ecosystems on our planet, and this also threatens us and everything humanity has achieved so far. Nevertheless, people... Continue Reading →

In a way, I was flooded with a bit of anxiety because on Blackboard there was an easily accessible page... Continue Reading →
We tend to look back at times of slavery and war and look down on the civilizations that caused it.

'Tis the season to be jolly! Well...Almost 😊 In my opinion, there is always a cozy and warm feeling around handmade gifts.
