Life in Germany During the Coronavirus: Home Office + Quarantine

[@lifewithkatie]

Hi everyone! Today's video is different for obvious reasons. It's not my usual Work Week in my Life because the Coronavirus has rapidly changed the world especially in the last weeks and I wanted to share how life has been lately! I think now is as important time as ever to make every effort to prevent the spread of the virus and I've left some links below to find out more: www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019 www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prepare/prevention.html I encourage you guys to follow prevention methods (such as social distancing, washing hands, etc.) and also to not panic (i.e hoarding thousands of toilet paper rolls) but just stay informed and as safe as possible. I'm using this extra time at home to do at-home workouts, self care (literally painted my nails 5 minutes ago!), cook with my boyfriend, read, facetime friends and family, and apply to grad school! We will get through this and please know that I'm sending love to all of you!

On the ECTS credits - you can try to ask for a workaround to somehow get the credits in another way or prove that you do have them to some extent. I‘ve done this in the past and it worked ☺️

[@lifewithkatie]

thank you!! I’ll try this!!

[@maryymendes]

@@lifewithkatie I have talked to the Mannhein University and to ESMT in Berlin, and both have told me I can do some kind of credit worth activity to earn the missing ones. At the HHL (Leipzig) they also have a option to extend your credits beyond the standard ones you get from the course. I'm studying for the GMAT right now. Could you do a video on how you've prepared yourself for it? I'ven seen you got 650, and that's also what I'm aiming for. I'm from Brazil applying to Germany, by the way :)

Hi Katie. Many of the students who do not fulfill the ECTS requirements take some supplementary courses over the summer/spring semester. A non-EU needs to take those courses at least one year prior to the start of the semester. Europeans can just simply fulfill the ECTS requirements over a summer course before the autumn semester. But for Non EU it is more tricky :/

love that you still put the haltbare Milch in the fridge even though it doesnt need to be until its opened. as an america is so hard to get used to not having milk always in the fridge it freaking me out buying room temperature milk when i first moved to germany

[@caciliawhy5195]

Americans like their milk cold.

[@Nolakuer]

I hope you and your boyfriend stay safe as I know the virus has taken over Europe! Love your videos so much xx

[@lifewithkatie]

Nolaxx thank you so much!! I hope you stay safe as well!! 💕

[@RustyDust101]

The last five days since your upload of this video have been a rollercoaster ride of emotions, news, and government activity. Stay safe and healthy. BTW: Lieferando had a DDOS attack sometime in the last days which crashed their server for the whole of Germany.

[@SimplyAvalon]

I hope you continue to stay safe. Not going to lie it’s crazy this video got recommended to me since I had planned to study abroad in Germany this summer but it doesn’t look like that will be possible.

[@boby4751]

WOW, that burger look incredible and I bet it smelled amazing :), do you remember what type of sauce you made for the beef and mushroom?

[@vixikie]

In Sweden the shelves in food stores are almost empty and people are crazy about hand sanitisers and toiletpaper. For some reasons all toiletpapers are out and I don't even know why lol. We don't even actually need to buy so much but people are scared and anxious. Swedes are going insane right now.

[@Henning_Rech]

Toilet paper collecting is a world-wide phenomenon now. Stay calm.

[@LisaZheng]

Stay safe and good luck on all the grad school stuff! 😄❤️

[@mellomell7269]

I really was waiting for your next upload. You are in different country and have just started your new job, so, being somehow restricted because of the virus is unexpected, sudden and frustrating. But, in general, i hope we all stay safe and i hope, also, that the infected people will get healed and survive from the virus. 💖💖

[@schadeichsage]

Sorry to hear about Copenhagen! Could you call them and ask if you can do an extra course there or in Germany to make up the credit? I have friends from non-EU countries in Scandinavia who have managed to find a way around similar situations :) All the best and stay safe!

[@mariagaspar3875]

Omg! NOVA is a really good school (maybe the best in business) in Lisbon! Have u seen the campus? U will love it! Lots of love from Lisbon

[@mirandaalexis]

Hopefully people actually listen and stay home as much as possible now more than ever

[@lifewithkatie]

I hope so too!!

[@mirandaalexis]

@@lifewithkatie I just wish every influencer was saying this like you

[@ViajeniBree]

I'm really sad that Europe is badly affected by the virus. But I'm hoping for the full recovery of this continent that I love -♡

[@sinakristin9632]

Come to Cologne! It’s such a beautiful city! Stay safe at this time!

[@raqueltavares1518]

Hi Katie!! I am an economics bachelor student in Nova SBE in Lisbon. Great school, a lot of hard work but overall an amazing choice.

[@Damselsinadressfan1]

What's the song called at the end of your vid? :)

[@dr.rubab_jafri]

Stay safe Katie!!! x

[@PastelJulia]

*heyy if you're reading this i hope you're having a great day!! And if you dont just remember it will all be fine* 💞 just take good care of yourself and drink some tea maybe♥️ xxx a small youtuber💞

[@mirandaalexis]

hey from an ER nurse on the frontlines of this: water, tylenol, motrin and staying home as much as possible is how we can get through this.

[@fadiaharouchi9145]

I hope you an your boyfriend stay safe and PLEASE share your boyfriend's granola recipe lol It looks really good :)

[@kristenmalick-hatta4300]

Random question but where did you get those cute glass mugs? :)

[@lifewithkatie]

they’re from nespresso I believe! :)

[@kristenmalick-hatta4300]

@@lifewithkatie Yes that's them! Thank you :)

[@hejun2643]

I was admitted to go attend a summer school and a conference with scholarship in Germany.But for the same reason ,they postpone this activity...

[@strange144]

About the ECTS, when I was in university there was some issue with credits I had gotten in Brussels and I was able to work out a solution with my department head. Definitely talk to them! They can only say no, lol.

[@AlexandraSophia]

Love this idea 💕

[@chelsearuiz9239]

Stay safe Katie ! ❤️💜

[@elinakristin8085]

Maybe you can do pre-courses at the University of Cologne to get the rest of the credit points that you need! I'm pretty sure that is possible, I also go to the University of Cologne and I have heard about this before, you only have to finish the courses in a certain period of time before or also during your studies and when you are done you have to go the "Prüfungsamt" so that they know that you have now completed all the requirements and then you should have no problems to attend the uni and get a degree from there! I would suggest emailing the head of the department that you want to study in, maybe they can help and tell you what to do :)

[@accountforwastingtime]

I had wondered how you are! I know it's a bit unnerving both starting a new job and being away from family and your home while this is going on. Hope your work lets you WFH for awhile!

[@andreawirtz2728]

Hey ☺️ I am new here 👋🏼 I live near Bonn 💖 and I think you’re feed is very interesting ☺️ I have a little question : do you ordered the burger by (Hans Im Glück) ? because it kinda looks like it ☺️🤷🏼‍♀️

[@junviatorlifeingermany1836]

Is there a conditional acceptance system for those who lack a few ECTS?? Anyway, best of luck on your application!!

[@elenagullotto2114]

I think in the next couple of days our government in Germany will decide if we are allowed to move freely or have to stay inside. in cologne, everyone is outside. as much as i wish those measures won't be taken its definitely an option and will help to keep the virus from spreading further. please stay safe and indoors as much as possible. ❤️

[@nancy7525]

what's the song name of the bgm?

[@skylerprice3561]

keeping you in my thoughts Katie

[@Ehikioya_J]

Its going to be fine.

I don’t believe this video she’s definitely from Barcelona not Germany

[@dreadfulnesk5667]

I swear they act like it’s the apocalypse

[@mirandaalexis]

when healthcare providers run out of ventilators for everyone getting sick from this you're gonna wish you hadn't said that. people don't need to panic and panic buy out everything for at risk people like the elderly but young people going out everynight to bars and clubs isn't helping.

[@Briannal884]

I mean... If nothing changes and everyone goes out, it could potentially be an apocalypse of some kind.

[@mirandaalexis]

@@Briannal884 this is why people need to change their behavior
