Oblivion

Oblivion. That is my favourite word in the English language and also one of the reasons why I started this blog. Similar to Augustus Waters in 'The fault in our stars' I am afraid of oblivion. Contrary to him I do not necessarily have a fear of being forgotten, because that is what usually happens one day. I am rather afraid of forgetting all the memories and moments that my life consists of. This blog will help me to remember my thoughts and bring the dust of thoughts to life.

When I was nine years old, I started to write a diary. Trivial words of a child growing up in a small German town close to Hamburg. But from time to time I still enjoy reading these pages, feeling a bit like the small Alexandra in primary school again. By using this strange thing called 'Internet' it is even easier to write down thoughts, memories and experiences, pretty much anytime and anywhere. I believe that blogs are amazing - they are so authentic, provide an insight in other lives and no one can tell how long they will actually continue living.

In two weeks I will move from Germany to Scotland to start studying in beautiful Edinburgh. To live in this incredible beautiful city and to stay abroad for a longer time period is a true privilegue and honour. On this blog I will also share my experiences about the university application system in the UK and I hope that it might be helpful for someone. The adventure has just started.
