When I moved to California as an international student in 2020, I never thought how much it would change my life. Who would have guessed I’d meet the love of my life in my speech class?? Here’s a summary of our love story 💓
JANUARY 2020: HOW IT ALL BEGAN…
• I moved from Germany to California to attend college for one semester
• I took Oral COMM 102 (speech class) and he was in the same class. However, we spoke maybe 5 words and didn’t exchange numbers, socials, or anything
MARCH 2020: COVID HIT
• the pandemic hit and I returned to Germany to finish the semester online
• our COMM teacher put us in the same group that with 2 other students
• We all added each other on Snapchat so we could communicate
• when the semester ended, him and I kept talking, but were just casual friends for a while
APRIL - NOVEMBER 2020: GROWING CLOSER
• we talked on Snapchat every day for months
• we got closer, but couldn’t physically be together or actually have a real relationship
• he started calling me sweet names and I started falling for him a little bit (nothing too serious yet!)
JUNE - NOVEMBER 2020: FACETIME DATES
• after a while, we started face-timing (in addition to Snapchat) every single day
• we’d talk for HOURS and even stayed on while one of us was sleeping or working (because of the time difference)
• we both really liked each other, but still had casual things going on with other people because, you know, after being stuck at home for so long, everyone had needs 😅
• we were open about it, so we were totally on the same page. We missed each other a lot though and wanted to be together already
NOVEMBER 2020: GOODBYE GERMANY 👋
• when the borders re-opened for returning students, I was finally able to return to California
• I flew to his hometown to see him and was SO nervous
• it went great and he asked me to be girlfriend that same night! 👩❤️👨
• I stayed with him and his parents for a few days, and it was SO fun!
2021 - 2022: BACK TO SCHOOL 🏫
• we went back to school for the next semester, and the one after that was finally in person again
• we even moved in together in early 2021. We moved into a house with multiple roommates, but it was still very early for a couple to move in together
• luckily, it worked out!
MAY 2013: CELEBRATING SUCCESSES
• we graduated college and walked together in May 2023! I actually graduated in December 2022, but couldn’t walk until Spring 2023 because there’s only oje commencement ceremony each year
• it was AMAZING to celebrate such a milestone together after going through long distance
• we both started our own businesses after college and are supporting each other’s dreams
NOW - HOPEFULLY FOREVER: STILL GOING STRONG
• over 2.5 years later, we are still together 👫
• we moved into our first apartment in June 2023
• we have our issues and fights for sure, but our unusual love story and being apart for so long has made us STRONG 💪
