hi guys. so ive been gone because ive been kind of unmotivated and lazy and also because of some life things happening. but ive been lonely. keeping up with the friends i have is exhausting because i'm the only one putting in any effort i feel like. and my boyfriend shouldn't have to be put under the pressure of being the only person in my life. plus were sorta long distance so that makes everything extra hard. i was wondering if any of you would like to be friends? like get to know each other and have regular talks?

here's some stuff about me

my names katharina but everyone calls me kathi or katya if they're russian. i'm german and 24 now. studying english and german literature, my favorite being english classics. of those fave authors are virginia woolf, emily bronte and oscar wilde. otherwise fave genre fantasy and horror. recently got into star wars bc of my bf and also really love lord of the rings. obv love learning languages and would love if we could try help each other get better. i'm esp interested in russian rn. i'm also really into astrophysics, writing poetry and playing chess.

i feel awkward posting this but at this point i'm a bit desperate. anyone feel free to message me.

If you're coming upon graduation, I have a major piece of advice to getting your foot in the door.

Apply to that job/program/position. Don't listen to the qualifications. They can't ruin your future. The worst they can say is no, you're not accepted. Some people do this as a form of rejection exposure therapy to get them more comfortable with rejection. And a lot of them are shocked at how it ended for them.

I have a job in my field before I even had a degree AND I make more than the AVERAGE salary in that field. I saw the posting on Indeed 3 years ago and applied, knowing there's no way I'd get the job. I got an interview and was so nervous and confused that I canceled the DAY OF saying I was sick and THEY RESCHEDULED the interview. I got hired on spot. I have never worked with reptiles, let alone alligators. I've never done major educational outreach stuff. And yet here I am 3 years later, making more than most aquarists and zookeepers while having a job that I love and wanted since I was a kid.

I have also applied for lab positions and didn't hear back for literal YEARS. It's always a hit or miss. But mass send those resumes and cover letters out. I don't have an impressive resume at all. I have 0 internships and have done very little field or lab work outside of classes because I just can't afford it. I'm not super bubbly and I don't have any major connections. If you get to the interview, it's all about how you sell yourself and the interviewers know when you're dressing yourself up. If you're straight up honest about most things while explaining how it can all tie in to the position and all that, you've got a great shot!

Tl;dr: apply to everything you want. They can just say no, but chances are that you will get further along than you think you will!

It’s so funny the way they say „feel better“ or „get better“ in english when someone’s sick like it’s some kind of order lol like „feel better or else“

In German we just say „gute Besserung“ meaning „have a good recovery“ but ok guys why don’t you just threaten me into feeling better lmao

I hate those videos titles that are basically "stop saying this word" or "If you keep using this word stop RIGHT NOW" that some YouTubers use

I know the videos are meant to expand your vocabulary but

a) 90% of the time natives overuse those words too so???

b) it activates the "don't tell me what to do" bratty attitude on me

You can use so many different alternatives like 🙄

Ich glaub’, mein Schwein pfeift.

literally: I think my pig is whistling.

Expression of indignation or surprise.

Origin: Pigs can't whistle. But if a pig actually whistles, then something impossible has happened.

Hey,

I'm gonna be 100% brutally honest with you.

It's OK if you've done absolutely nothing; contributed nothing to anything, talked to no one, ect. Yes, even if you didn't get out of bed.

I see countless people tag or add onto posts things like "am I still worthy if __" "is it still ok to rest if __" and yes! It is OK to to the bare minimum or no minimum at all. 💛 You are still a living, breathing, thinking being and thinking alone takes energy.

Be gentle with yourself. 💚
