So this is my introduction post. I don't really know what I wanna write here but I'll try nevertheless.
I am Jan from Germany. I just finished my Bachelors degreee in Geology which means I'm officially a Geologist, even if I don't know shit. In America this would be kinda like the Undergrad but kinda not. It's way less elaborate than a american undergrad thingy. At least as far as I've heard, but its something. Before I get into Detail let me show you a picture of myself.
This is me. Me, my Bagpipes (small but efficient, my neighbors hate me) and my favourite Grandma Sweater from Bolivia. It has Llamas on it freaking Llamas how cool is that? And of course I try to wear it at every Concert I go to.
Wait concerts? Yes; I recently discovered that I like to go to a lot of concerts. Mostly small ones with unknown Bands within the Genre of Metal and Medieval Rock. The last one is probably uniqe to Germany and maybe the Netherlands. At least I've not heard about much outside those two countries. But I'm probably gonna write about that stuff when I go to events like this. And the next one will be soon. I even know a few Band Members that will perform there. So if they recognise me (last time we all had many beers) I may tell you some cool stuff.
Well I am a normal, maybe not quite so normal dude from Germany. I'm 22 years old (so far) and I hope to live for many more years. Right now I live in a mountainous region of Germany called the " Harz Mountains", I study here and let me tell you for a Geologists it's very interesting with faults and creases and folds and whatever. Very interesting. We also had some ressources, they are already mined but there were some. That lead to the creation of the university I'm visiting right now... but that may be something for another day. This is about me, well at least it's supposed to be.
But what am I apart from a male human? I am myself, at least I hope so.
I wish I bought these glasses. They fit what I am. Not what I represent to the outside, but what I really am. You might have already noticed that I have a very low self confidence and the best of you that I am actually in the middle of crawling out of a depression. That was caused by not knowing what to do. This means I didn't know if I really wanted to finish my studies and if I would finish I didn't know how. I hid a few month from everyone, even my mom and we are really close. I sat in my room doing nothing. Just watching Anime, listening to sad music and feeling sorry for myself. A state nobody should ever be in. And then I finally had the breakdown. That helped me accept professional counceling. Getting me out of that state of denial that I was in for many month. It was that day that I knew I couldn't continue like that. And I'm feeling better. I completed my studies I almost know what I want to do in the future and my life is back on Track... ish. I even get asked to take part in community action within my dormitory. And if I am allowed to mention that, the best dormitory that ever existed. It's like a fraternity but better without the constraints but with all the benefits.
Well there was this guy I would consider him a friend. He is/was already here on Steemit and told me about it, so naturally I thought about going here as well. Writing about all the stuff I want. It's not neccessarily about gaining range it's just about writing what I feel is cool and interesting. Even if nobody would ever see it. It's expressing myself and I hope I will follow up this post with many other blog entries about metal, snow, cars or just whatever comes to my mind.
PS. Yes I was kinda drunk while writing this.
