Back to uni at 37 in Germany | part 4: getting my routine back 📝 study vlog
I’m Ivy, 37, building a new life in Germany. This is a study vlog where I’m sharing my real preparation for a master’s program: learning German, getting ready for exams like IELTS, and building a routine from scratch.
I’m also talking about what happens when I fall out of my discipline era, and the small tips that help me reset and get back on track. This is about motivation, consistency, and honestly dealing with fears instead of avoiding them.
This is my real point A, I have no results yet, just a clear decision and a plan for 2026.
