I've decided to move out the US. To Germany. Im exhausted and feel my talents are better served elsewhere. I dont feel i have a choice but to move i cant stay here or itll affect my mental health too much. I am too stressed. This is due to politics and a wide array of other issues im not going to get into. I just dont want to stay here. First imma wait a few months to get my papers in order, learn some German get fluent if possible, read up on german culture, save some money, get my associates as I'm sure Germany will want to know before accepting me that I got skills they could use.
Thing is this is throwing me in hot water. I've never lived alone. I plan on moving in with a friend who is also looking to leave
But who knows that plan might fall through and even if it don't it may still be rough. I also never been outside the country. It'll be a huge culture shock
Anyone got any advice? I'd love for any and all I can get.
What I got in my planning so far-
Stop by the DMV Friday. They take walk ins and it's much faster doing that then making an appointment online everything is booked. I'll go there early in the morning and wait. Get my real ID
Spend 10 minutes a day learning German.
Wait till I get my pell grant back- I'll have an extra $2000. Pay off my rent and for the next few months. Rest goes to savings and getting a passport.
Read up on everything Germany and immigration I can. Everything I can about the culture. Practice speaking German with German friends. Try to see if using social media I can make more friends in Germany. See if there's resources to help a someone out.
Continue saving for when I move out
