Tadja, I'm going to tell you about a passion I have had for a long time. It is about entering a university and living in a new and unfamiliar environment. I received an international education from the USA and started to plan what I would do there. When I visited this place, I faced many challenges. I also saw many people from other countries, and I was confronted with this unfamiliar environment. At that time, I had to make friends and start doing things that I could enjoy. If I had free time, I would browse social media platforms. There was a garden where I could spend a lot of time every day, around six to eight hours. I did my homework and similar tasks there. I called this garden my way to adapt to the new and unfamiliar environment. I believe that this garden can change our mindset and help refresh our brains. It was a significant part of my experience. Overall, adapting to this new environment was challenging but ultimately rewarding.
