GRETA :)

Some places become home.
Others become the reason you find it somewhere else 🤍
For me, Konstanz was always the second one.

I just spent my last week here before another chapter begins. And somehow it feels SO WEIRD knowing I won’t be coming back as a student anymore.
And obviously it still hasn‘t fully sank in.

Only two days ago I finished my very last exam.
MATH. lol omg
My lifelong chronic trauma. 🤡

Four years of studying, countless flights, moving countries, jumping between universities, changing my life about seventeen times… and somehow I still thought leaving maths until the very end was a fantastic idea.
Typical me.

BUT!!! somehow, it couldn’t have ended any better.
I DID IT (ok, I only know next week but #manifesting)
And just like that, another page gets flipped 🫶🏼

I’ve laughed here.
I’ve cried here.
I’ve packed up my life more times than I can count.
I’ve met people who changed me and lost people I genuinely thought would always be around.

The funny thing is… I spent YEARS trying to leave this place before I realised it was quietly opening every single door for me.
Without Konstanz, there would’ve been no South Africa.
Without South Africa, no HYROX.
Without HYROX, no reason to come back to Konstanz.
And without Konstanz, I wouldn’t be boarding my flight to Japan next week to work my first Volleyball Nations League with @volleyballworld.

Insane how the place I kept trying to leave ended up becoming the place that opened the world for me 🫂

What a WEIRD, BEAUTIFUL, EXHAUSTING, HILARIOUS, CHAOTIC 4 years.
And I think I might actually miss this place a little.
Okay, a lot 🥹

But don’t worry, @bodenseecampus
You’re definitely not getting rid of me that easily.
Someone has to keep you entertained 🤠

Love you forever, Konstanz
I see you when I see you.
