I think a lot of people have some sort of preconception as to what it’s like to write a thesis or conduct some big research project. Whether it resembles reality is another question. While many may never get the opportunity (or wouldn’t ever want the opportunity cause let’s face it… it ain’t fun), and while…

My First Week at one of the Best Business Schools in the World
While I was already at one of the best business schools in Europe studying my Master of Finance, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to study abroad one last time in my educational career. Many students at Frankfurt School choose to study abroad their last semester and since I am trying to make the most of…
A Taste of the Real World; Hell Week at Frankfurt School
Boy oh boy does this semester just keep getting better and better. If you saw my last post then you’ll know that last week I was a busy bee working on my uni’s advisory project. If you don’t know what I’m talking about then read on. Last Monday the entire Financial Advisory concentration of the…

Homecoming Party in Germany, Global Finance Lecture & Student Parliament
Back on track! Boo-ya! Globalization through Finance Lecture The first event from this last week was an absolutely amazing lecture by Dr. Frannie Leautier, Senior Vice President of the African Development Bank.

Officially a German Resident!
