[Junghans] Solar 1

[Junghans] Solar 1

Picked this beaut up today at the thrift store for 25 bucks. I was aiming for the Junghans Chronometer, but the clerk wanted to sell it at market value, so I opted for this one. Needs a new capacitor and then it should run like new! The Bauhaus design does it for me on this one.

Das Dilemma vom Studiengangswechsel

Moin Schwarmintelligenz, ich brauche mal eure Ratschläge.

Zu mir, ich bin 25 und derzeit studiere ich Wirtschaftsrecht. Über die letzten 3 Semester habe ich leider merken müssen, dass mir das Fach überhaupt nicht liegt und die Balance zwischen Arbeiten und Studieren immer mehr in Richtung Arbeit rutscht. Nun habe ich mich entschieden, zu wechseln. Die Frage ist: Wohin?

Zur Auswahl stehen zwei Fächer: Politikwissenschaft in meiner Heimatstadt oder Journalistik in Hannover.

Pros Politikwissenschaft: Ich kann bei meinen Eltern wohnen und muss mir keine großen Sorgen um Geld machen.

Cons Politikwissenschaft: Ich bleibe in meiner alten Bubble. Eigentlich will ich schon seit längerem mal eine andere Stadt erleben.

Pros Journalistik: Neue Stadt, das Fach reizt mich mehr als Politikwissenschaft, ein neuer Start sozusagen.

Cons Journalistik: Wohnungssuche, eventuelle Geldnot, ich müsste vor dem Start des WiSe ein sechswöchiges Praktikum absolvieren (vielleicht ein bisschen knapp).

Wofür würdet ihr euch entscheiden?

Father's Day

Out on a photo walk on Father's day I spotted this chap sitting outside a cafe and figured shooting through the window of another building would make for a cool photo.

Should I stay in my hometown or move away?

Good evening everyone! I hope to gather some advice on here and maybe a bit of reassurance.

For context, I'm 25 years old, male, live in central Europe. 2.5 years ago I got a relatively obscure marketing-related degree and have been adrift ever since. Worked security, went back to Uni for a law degree and I'm currently working part-time as a shift supervisor at a large grocery chain.

Last December, my relationship of 4 years ended and I had to move back in with my parents. At the same time, I noticed that the degree I chose is not something I want to pursue, as the workload combined with being employed part-time and maintaining a social life is affecting my grades negatively and I don't want to take another 5 years to finish my Bachelor's.

Now to the juicy part: I have decided that I want to follow a dream/passion of mine, which is Journalism. To achieve this goal, I have two options. Stay put at my parents and get a degree in Political Sciences or move 2 hours away to get a Bachelor's in Journalism. Part of me really wants to move, but I'm deathly afraid, to be honest. My life hasn't worked out the way I wanted up to this point and moving away, going to a new city, the whole financial aspect of it - it makes me so anxious. I am inclined to take the safe route, go with Political Sciences and pay off my student loans. But a different part of me - the one that has gotten to know so many great new people after the breakup, humans who live sparkling, exciting lives - is afraid that staying here will keep me in my same old loop. That I will never leave this place.

I want change, I want adventure and I want to see the world. Yet here I am, 25 ripe years of age, and I have basically nothing. It feels like I'm over the hill already. What would you do? Should I play it safe or take a risk and put myself out there? And what if I fail?

I look forward to hearing your advice.
