Education in Relationships

Is it important that husbands and wives have the same educational level? And should the man in a modern relationship be responsible for bringing the money home, and should the woman just be expected to cook and raise the children?

Today I am going to share with you my personal thoughts about what role education plays in a relationship. First of all, I have to say that I can’t think of anything more important for a woman to be very well educated and independent. All women on earth should have a good education, a high school diploma, maybe even a university degree and I think it is also very important to have a driver’s license. I know that’s easy to say living in a country which is virtually in the middle of Europe and being used to nothing other than these standards. Of course, I have to consider that not in every country do the women have the possibility to go to school, but I also know that slowly, but surely, girls all around the world are beginning to enjoy the pleasure of education. Unfortunately, this process will take a while. To all the women in countries with great education standards: don’t be silly or lazy and waste your educational opportunities, rather take the chance to become an independent and strong woman!

The miracle of Leicester City

It just sounds like a miracle, a football miracle has just been written Leicester City have actually won the Barclay Premier League (BPL), which is the top English football league.

They were just promoted to the BPL 2 years ago and last year they were lucky that they weren’t relegated to the 2nd league. Founded in 1884, and finally in 2016 they are for the first time BPL champions. Up until now the club has never been very successful; they had little money so less success than other clubs which is how modern football works. However, they’ve now proven otherwise, by just playing good football. The bet rates were 5000:1 at the beginning of this season, it even was more likely that Kim Kardashian would become president of the United States of America. The 3 biggest betting companies had to give more than 7 million euros to the lucky guys who put money on Leicester at the start of the season.

If we look at the amount of money all the players of Leicester are worth and compare it to clubs like the 2 Manchester Clubs, Arsenal or the champions of last year, Chelsea FC it gets insane. Leicester´s players are worth 127 million euros and Chelsea 500 million euros. So there is no surprise many people say their BPL title was “earned not bought”.

Lets go White Sox

 

Now it’s finally come! The MLB (Major League Baseball) season has started! But what does this mean to the Chicago White Sox?

The White Sox won five games straight from April 23 to April 27, making the Blue Jays look old, before loosing back-to-back games in Batlimore on the 28th and 29th. But, Chicago came back in the final two match ups of the series, scoring a slim 8-7 victory on the last Saturday and a confidence-boosting win on Sunday. So, yeah, Chicago lost twice last week, but they also came back in a big way. All together I think that this will be a great season for the Chicago White Sox. Last year they came fourth but I think that they even have a chance of getting third this season.

Of course, we don’t know how the season will end for the Sox, but for now keep on shouting: ” White Sox, White Sox, go,go, go,go”

Are you a big Sox fan as well?

 

The best vacation of your life

Today I’m going to tell you about all the benefits of a cruise. I was on a cruise once in my life and am planning on going on one this summer again. It was the best vacation I’ve ever had.

First of all, many people are scared to go on a cruise because they are afraid that the ship might sink. That’s absolute nonsense. Think about it… How many accidents happen involving cars daily and how often do you hear of an accident on a cruise ship? See? You don’t need to worry about this just because the Titanic sank. And anyway, something horrible could happen at any time, no mater if you’re at home or on vacation. Continue reading The best vacation of your life

Bully or Victim?

I bet every one of us has seen someone being bullied. But did we actually do something to help?

When I was in kindergarten there was a girl who never played with the others. She didn’t have friends. Soon some boys started laughing at her and saying mean things to her. During the following weeks the situation got worse! They started stealing her shoes and jackets but none of the adults noticed anything. However a lot of kids, including me, saw what the girl was going through but no one did anything to help her. Continue reading Bully or Victim?

WHY YOU HAVE TO READ: THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK

SUMMARY

On Anne’s thirteenth birthday, her parents gave her a diary. She was very excited to have something where she could write down her secret thoughts. Even though she had a rich social life, she felt misunderstood by everyone she knew. So she started to write her diary to a imaginary girl named Kitty.

Can you see time?

As you might have learned from my first post, I like spending time on the Internet, especially on YouTube. As I was scrolling through ‘Popular on YouTube’ recently, a video called ‘Can you hear colors?’ from ‘Good Mythical Morning’ caught my attention. That’s how I found out about the phenomena called synesthesia.

Synesthesia is when one sense is automatically connected to another in your brain. For example when you hear the word ‘book’, you taste chicken, or when you see the number 3, you think of it as green. Only 1 in 2000 people have synesthesia and they are mostly women and left-handed. There are about 60 different types of synesthesia, but only a few cases could be well studied by scientists and doctors. Continue reading Can you see time?

Flying over the TOP

Obviously different, maybe a little crazy but definitely amazing, that’s the duo consisting of Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun. Tyler is the crazy vocalist, he can sing like you wouldn’t believe and Josh plays the drums like he’s been doing it forever. These two formed the band in 2009 and called it 21 Pilots. Tyler also plays the piano and occasionally the ukulele. Most of their songs they write together. These two can be so adorable together!

I especially love Josh’s hair at the moment since he has dyed it red to match the album cover which is so cool. Fun fact: He did it himself! Continue reading Flying over the TOP

Exchange Trips: My trip to France

In my school, we do an exchange every year of upper school. They are usually a week long. Every student is assigned an exchange student, with whom they will have to be staying. Depending on the host families and students, a trip can turn out good or bad. This makes it a very important decision, but it´s usually difficult to choose someone out of a group of people you don´t know.

The main reason these exchanges are organized is to give us students the chance to speak the language we learn with people who actually speak it as their mother tongue. It´s a great opportunity to see for yourself how well you can communicate in another language. Continue reading Exchange Trips: My trip to France
