Happy Easter to everyone!

Today is the day many of us have been waiting for; I know for sure that my younger siblings did. Today we are celebrating Easter, a christian festival and holiday with the purpose to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Easter may be a Christian thing, but it is not solely about religion or Jesus. It is about spending some time with your family, get or give small gifts and Easter food such as Easter ham, eggs, horseradish, a "Reindling", which is made out of yeast dough and filled with cinnamon and raisins and of course many sweets. My dad is really looking forward to the Easter food because he had gone without sweets and sugar and eaten less than he wanted to for 45 days due to the period of fasting.

 Now I am going to tell you what my Easter Saturday looks like. I got up early, not because I wanted to, but because my siblings stormed into my room and asked me noisily and thrilled with joy if I could help them find their presents the Easter bunny had hidden for them. After we were seeking for the presents and eventually found all of them, we went back into the house to have breakfast. My siblings and I did not eat much because we (my two younger siblings, my twin brother, my dad's girlfriend named Helga and my dad) are all invited at Helga's mother-in-law in the afternoon. There we will have a delicious "Osterjause", play games, chat, and maybe drink some wine. It is always great fun and I really enjoy the time I spend there. In the evening I'll meet up with some friends to go out and have fun or I’ll just go home and watch a movie. We’ll see. :)

Would be great to know what your Easter Saturday looks like but for now, I wish all of you a Happy Easter and a great time!

How to improve my blogging! :)

My topic for today is "how to improve my blogging".

When you go through my older posts you will notice that these are everything but passionate, thoughtful or funny. I was always wondering how I am supposed to write a post about something I am not really interested in, while there were so many other more interesting, funnier things and thoughts swirling through my head. I never thought about writing about one of these very things. Until now. This leads me to my first suggestion for improvement:

What to write about?

-> How should I write a passionate post about a topic I am not passionate about? Right, there is no way.

So I am not wasting time anymore by writing posts about topics I find completely dull, and instead start choosing ones I am eager to learn more about. Just the thought about writing about my last trip (which will be one of my next posts - btw) lightens my mood.

I am sure everyone of you has these special things that keep you motivated, happy and from bittering over life’s disappointments. For example: one of my best friend has a passion for movies with Channing Tatum in it. Another friend of mine really wants to be a doctor one day and gains a lot of strength from it. Why not write about your goals, dreams, fears or everyday motivation? About a friend you have, things you have already experienced or things you are planning to do.

I am probably not in the place to talk all wise and experienced considering me having done really bad during my first semester a few months ago. But this does not mean that I cannot improve and owing to my last semester I am more determined now and know what to expect.

What to write in a post?

->Now we have covered the problem what to write about, but the next problem is waiting just around the corner. A post should not be too long (otherwise no one's going to read it) or too short.

What it should contain depends on what you are writing about. For example: a post about "how to get the most beautiful hair possible" should provide tips and perhaps pictures of wonderful, glossy hair. A more historic topic should contain many information about what happened, what it is about, who played the main role, where it took place and that kind of stuff. 

How to design a blog?

-> The background is important but not more important than the posts themselves. If you write highly accurate, motivated and funny posts, but your font color has the same color as your background, or your pictures and backgrounds shine in colors that hurt your eyes, your work and improvement will be pointless.

With this in mind and following all of these suggestions mentioned I am hoping to improve.

I would be thankful for any other tips or feedback on how to improve my blogging! :)
