❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭

the main thing i’ve learned about berlin is that there is absolutely no way to predict the weather at any point in time

idk how anyone ever gets used to snow. i could spend hours just watching each snowflake hit the ground. i am fascinated

Finished building my Christmas present from @juredzinski.bsky.social 😊

It’s so bad. Some teenager set off a ton of fireworks in the park yesterday when I was walking in the afternoon and my first thought was mass shooting and I panicked so hard. I swear the fireworks weren’t this bad in the US 😭

Snowwwww

Need that!!

I always hated when people did that because it’s soooo grossly condescending and always made me feel worse

we used our ampelmännchen cookie cutters because the red and green colors make them christmas-y, right?

yes. she investigated the case of why everyone at the new york times hated her and discovered that it was because she was too smart and too brave.

why do Germans give me a math problem every time I ask for the time

I forgot to ask my dad to bring me some when he visited me a few weeks ago… I need metal

there is no place in berlin that i hate more than potsdamer platz. i actually weep when i have to go lmfao

i have no problem with berlin winters being so gray but the short days are going to make me go insane 🥲 I thought it was like 8 PM and it is not even 5

my joy upon waking up and seeing the first snow of the year ❄️

10/10 to the north face arctic parka, best coat I’ve ever owned

I bought some last December and just gotta find them in my wardrobe! I should buy more pairs though.

Yes I’ve been meaning to reach out again to see if you wanted to meet up!! Right now it’s just stressful trying to buy all the appropriate winter clothes. I’m so clueless on keeping warm HAHA

finally remembered my password here lmao moving abroad has been stressful 🫡

That sounds great!!! Just let me know when things are less crazy! I’m so sorry about all the stuff that’s been happening with your apartment situation!

It works well bc I still get all the messages that people send to my old number, just wish it worked for 2FA for my bank account 😭 had to use my moms US phone number bc they won’t let me specify which method for 2FA and it has to be a US number

Had to show my ticket for the U-Bahn for the first time today

Ich bin ein Berliner! 🍩

now replaying ocarina of time in german bc i can pretend like i’m studying

I think I would inhale that in one bite bc it looks so good

sold my car today and now the main thing left to do before my move is…. Porting my phone number to Google voice bc I refuse to give up on my 504 number 😭

What is that bc I want it

just need to sell my car, and i think i’m done with all the difficult things. already got rid of most of my stuff. rip to my austin apartment, you were cozy and perfect for me

moving to berlin on august 1st 🇩🇪

LITERALLY. i was thinking houston too but houston actually has some good things about it, e.g. food, great museums. baton rouge can fuck off forever
