How I came to Yale...

 Well, here I am. An typical Austrian girl, who wants to explore the world. 

Normally I study Business and Economics to get my Bachelors Degree in Vienna, but I wanted to experience the American-University-Student-Feeling for once in my life. After a lot of research and thinking what I could do during my summer holidays I had the great Idea do go to New Haven to visit Yale.

So that was my long story short.

I really have to say, that I didn't realize that I will really go to Yale for 5 weeks until I was there.

I arrived at on the 2nd of July in New York and spent the first night in an Hotel in New Haven. The next day I went to Cross Campus and was very excited how my first impression of Yale might be. It was mind-blowing - I fell in love with the campus from the first second on. Not just because of the look, also because of the people. Everyone was so kind and helpful and I felt very welcomed from the first day on.


So here was I - A typical Austrian girl, who is exploring Yale.

Important information in advance: The following Blogpost is one I wrote in German before and I wanted to share this one in English on my Yale-Blog. Since I got very positive reviews on that in German I take the risk and try to transfer the same emotions in a different language. It has nothing to do with my time at Yale itself, but for me now it is an great opportunity to share general thoughts of mine in English language. _____________________________  I like to call our society the Society U. Society S like "Unfriendly-to-everyone-and-get-respect-for-it-and-everything-you-want". Ok, admittedly, that sounds extremely cynical and maybe it is a bit, but isn't it true somewhere? If I go to the restaurant and complain about some non-existent problem, I get a drink on the house or a discount. If I am a boss who instills fear in everyone and builds up unnecessary pressure, all work is done in a timely and clean manner. And if I just act like an arrogant person, everyone looks u

Sometimes in life you come to a point where you have to put yourself together and give everything you have. You have to take all you energy and put it into this one challenge you are currently facing. Even when this challenge seems impossible to complete at the beginning you have to take the risk and just try if you could make it. Trying and lose is still a win in comparison to not even trying. So sometimes the target of this challenges is not even completing the challenge itself, it is more the way you have to pass. On some point there are just to options left when you take bold steps: One option is to overcome the challenge and solve everything until the very end. And the second option is to gain experiences. Experiences about how to deal with changing plans, how to stay positive even when it's a hard time and how to not loosing trust in yourself. You will never fail when it comes to take challenges. You will be always a winner. It is not about getting to the peak of the mountain
