0040 THREE REASONS FOR A SEMESTER ABROAD

Hey there!  Today's topic is one that I talked about with my friend Flo in one of the episodes that we did together, already. So you can see it is one that I feel passionate about again ;) Semesters abroad, at another university in another country really do give you a lot and today I want to address three points that are probably not the ones you usually hear first if somebody talks about the opportunity to go abroad :) I hope you will get something useful out of it!

Hi :) I have to say I am very excited for your comments on this episode! In this episode we are looking at a scenario that is almost un-imaginable.

0033 CONTROL YOUR CONSUMPTION

Good morning! Today we have an extremely serious and sadly often overlooked topic! Everything we consume every day,  from music over movies to YouTube videos, has a direct effect on our believes, our mood and in general on what we are capable of doing.

0032 WHY YOU NEED TO HOLD YOURSELF ACCOUNTABLE

Hey there, good morning and Merry Christmas to all of you that are celebrating! :) We are extremely used to others holding us accountable. Be it our parents, our professors or our boss at work, someone will always check if you have accomplished something. But usually these other parties only hold us accountable to the bare minimum. In order to actually achieve more than that, we have to learn to take over this function ourselves and hold ourselves accountable for what we said we would do. I hope you will get something useful out of it! Please feel free to get in touch with me and/or leave me some feedback if you want!

0031 HOW TO NOT GET OVERWHELMED BY YOUR WORKLOAD

Welcome back! I hope you had a good start into the new week! :) Today's episode is a very practical one and focuses on managing your time well, so that you do not get overwhelmed by your workload at some point. I think we are all familiar with the following situation: The semester starts, everything seems very relaxed, a bit too relaxed and from one week to the next we are drowning in work and it seems impossible to get everything done while still having a social life ... or sleep :D  There actually is a way to avoid that so that your next semester will be more ... balanced.
