I'M BACK - ON INSTAGRAM



Hey guys, I'm so sorry I've been gone for such a long time. 
I don't really feel like blogging anymore but I don't wanna 
delete it either because as reminds me of my stay in Canada. 
As for now, I decided to just leave it as a memory. 
You can follow my instagram account instead! (if you want to ;)). 
It's pretty new so just wait for a bit and it'll be filled with pictures haha :)
Love,
Tina

AND IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE NOTHING CHANGED AT ALL


Sweater - Aritzia // Sunglasses - Primark

Im back, yey! I really didnt have any time for taking pictures in the past few weeks, I had drivers ed every day ( I got my license a week ago :D ) 
and getting used to germany again is harder than I thought it would be. Things changed alot and Im not friends anymore with alot of people that I would 
consider my best friends a year ago. Anyways, Im gonna spend the next two weeks in Croatia and the two weeks after that in Spain, wohoo! 
My family and I go to Croatia like every summer but I havent been to Spain before - cant wait to go there!

Ich dachte mir ich blogge jetzt auch noch auf deutsch weil mich immer viele gefragt hatten ob ich nicht noch ne deutsche Übersetzung hinschreiben will und naja hier bitteschön :D
 Ich hatte in den letzten Wochen leider echt keine Zeit Bilder zu machen, hatte für drei Wochen jeden Tag Fahrschule ( hab so nen Sommercrashkurs gemacht ) und sich wieder an Deutschland zu gewöhnen ist echt schwerer als ich gedacht hatte, hat sich echt viel verändert. Ich hab ja jetzt Sommerferien und in einer Woche gehts dann los nach Kroatien 
und danach noch nach Spanien wuhuu!! In Kroatien bin ich fast jeden Sommer aber in Spanien war ich noch nie also freu ich mich natürlich umso mehr auf den Urlaub! 
Irgendwie bin ich garnichtmehr mit meinem Blognamen zufrieden, bin die ganze Zeit schon am Überlegen ob ich ihn nun ändern soll oder nicht 
aber dann fällt mir auch echt nichts besseres ein und keine ahnung mal schauen

AND I DONT EVEN KNOW IF IM ALIVE



Hairband- H&M // Shirt- Aritzia // Highwaist Shorts- Calvin Klein (found in a thriftstore) // shoes- TOMS // backpack- etsy

 I didnt post any new pictures in such a long time I know but I just didnt feel like it at all. 
6 days ago I had to leave canada to go back to germany and I cant even describe how sad I am. 
I never cried that much before, I dont feel like going out, I dont feel like seeing anyone, I just wanna be in my room all day. 
I already miss canada so much, I miss my friends so much and I wish I was able to stay forever. Im trying to be positive but its just not that easy. 
Anyways, I bought these TOMS a few weeks ago and Im so in love with them! IMPORTANT: 
Always order them at least half a size too small because they will get bigger after wearing them a few times! 
When mine arrived they wouldnt even fit properly like every step hurt but now after wearing for a bit they got ALOT bigger and they're perfect now! 
I found these highwaist shorts in a thriftstore in canada, they're calvin klein and I paid only 12 bucks hehe

BYE WINNIPEG


I guess its time to say goodbye now. 
I cant believe that I have to go home tomorrow, this year went by so fast. 
I found such great friends here, thank you for everything youve done for me, thank you for always being there for me, 
thank you for accepting me for who I am, thank you for making this year the best year in my life so far. 
I love you so much and knowing that I wont see you again for a long time really breaks my heart. 
I cant stop crying while typing this, every single day here was more than just perfect and I just wish that I didnt have to leave. 
I never thought that I would like it here so much when I first came here but winnipeg has become more than just my second home, 
I loved speaking english all the time, I loved going to westwood and I'll always be a warrior at heart. 
Canada is an amazing country, thank you so much Sydney for taking me to calgary and banff and showing me other parts of canada. 
You have become more than just my best friend, youre like my sister. Only few people have touched me the way you did. 
I love you with all my heart! I'll be back soon, I promise. I will never forget you guys

FINALLY MOVING


Bracelets- CLAIRES & ALDO // Sunglasses- Ray Ban // Crochet Shirt- ebay // Vest - H&M // Bags - Victoria's Secret // Shoes - ALDO

I went shopping like a week ago and I bought so much stuff like actually SO much. I usually never buy that much ( I'm really cheap ) but it was my last time at this mall 
because I am going back to germany in 1 1/2 weeks *insert sad face here*so I hope that's a good excuse for buying alot :p I got these victoria's secret bags on sale, 
guess how much I paid for them: SEVEN DOLLARS FOR BOTH instead of 27$ :D I went crazy and bought four of them ( I thought my mom and sister might like one too ) 
and even the cassier was jealous of how cheap they were- and I was so lucky because I got the last ones BEST DAY EVER
I also love those shoes, the last time I was at the mall I walked past that ALDO store and I kind of fell in love with those sandals and I really regret 
not buying them afterwards so I bought them this time- they're just beautiful and so comfy, I just wanna wear them all day every day!
AND OMG did you ever hear about the STARBUCKS SECRET MENU ? My friend Holley showed it to me and every single drink on there is like heaven I swear. 
As you probably know, I am a huge harry potter fan and as I discovered the butterbeer frappucino on the secret menu I took the bus ran to starbucks and ordered it- 
it was so delicious, I closed my eyes and felt like being in Hogsmeade for a second, drinking butterbeer at the three broomsticks, sitting next to Harry, Ron and Hermione. 
Just kidding haha, but it was actually so good! I've never really been one of those people that go to starbucks alot but I kind of wanna try every single drink 
on the secret menu so I might go more often in the future #byemoney

YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL

Time is really flying by now, this is my last week of school here in canada and in two weeks I have to go back to germany. 
Its just such a weird feeling, of course I am excited to see my friends and family again but I found awesome friends here and this is the life Ive always wanted to live,
 I love canada, I love the canadian way of living and tbh I wish I could stay here forever.
 I found a text about that situation on the internet and it really made me cry. 
Its kind of long but its just so true, it probably touches you more when you are or have been an international student.

"A year has passed and now we stand on the brink, of returning to a world where we are surrounded by the paradox of everything and yet nothing being the same. In a couple of weeks we will reluctantly give our hugs and, fighting the tears,we will say goodbye to people who were once just names on a sheet of paper to return to people that we hugged and fought tears to say goodbye to before we ever left.We will leave our best friends to return to our best friends.We will go back to the places we came from, and go back to the same things we did last summer and every summer before. We will come into town on that same familiar road, and even though it has been months, it will seem like only yesterday. As you walk into your old bedroom, every emotion will pass through you as you reflect on the way your life has changed and the person you have become. You suddenly realize that the things that were most important to you a year ago don't seem to matter so much anymore, and the things you hold highest now, no one at home will completely understand. Who will you call first? What will you do your first weekend home with your friends? Where are you going to work? Who will be at the party Saturday night? What has everyone been up to in the past few months? Who from school will you keep in touch with? How long before you actually start missing people barging in without calling or knocking? Then you start to realize how much things have changed, and you realize the hardest part of being an exchange student is balancing the two completely different worlds you now live in, trying desperately to hold on to everything all the while trying to figure out what you have to leave behind. We now know the meaning of true friendship. We know who we have kept in touch with over the past year and who we hold dearest to our hearts. We've left our worlds to deal with the real world. We've had our hearts broken, we've fallen in love, we've helped our best friends overcome eating disorders, depression, stress, and death. We've lit candles at the grotto and we've stayed up all night on the phone just to talk to a friend in need. There have been times when we've felt so helpless being hours away from home when we know our families or friends needed us the most, and there are times when we know we have made a difference. Just weeks from now we will leave. Just weeks from now we take down our pictures, and pack up our clothes. No more going next door to do nothing for hours on end. We will leave our friends whose random e-mails and phone calls will bring us to laughter and tears this summer, and hopefully years to come. We will take our memories and dreams and put them away for now, saving them for our return to this world. Just weeks from now we will arrive. Just weeks from now we will unpack our bags and have dinner with our families. We will drive over to our best friend's house and do nothing for hours on end. We will return to the same friends whose random emails and phone calls have brought us to laughter and tears over the year. We will unpack old dreams and memories that have been put away for the past year. In just weeks we will dig deep inside to find the strength and conviction to adjust to change and still keep each other close. And somehow, in some way, we will find our place between these two worlds."
