The best part about living in a place as homey as Saarland, the smallest state in Germany, is that you often meet people twice. If you walk along one of the main streets at the right time of day, the odds of running into a familiar face are high. Sure, it may not be the most picturesque place I have lived at, but it certainly is not the ugliest place either. I have adapted to the challenging public transportation system by purchasing a scooter and enrolling at a university to get a student ticket. I have even begun decorating my room and have started tutoring in English in my spare time. Life is what you make of it! There will be many unexpected twists and turns, but you can find the positives in those surprises. It makes life more enjoyable. Saarbrücken has definitely tested and helped to refine this philosophy of mine. I would not trade living here for the world!
