Caitlin's Beginning of Term
Caitlin is enrolled in North American Studies at the John F. Kennedy Institute and just moved to Berlin. From October 12 to 16, 2015, she showed us the beginning of the 2015/2016 winter semester from her point of view. You can find her on Instagram under @steph_cait.
Happy first day of classes!
I'm Caitlin, an Ersti in the JFK Institute's master program. For the next week, I get to take over the Freie Universität Instagram account and show you our awesome university through my eyes.

Finished my first day of classes at the #JFKI, home for the next two years!
After four hours of classes, I'm searching for a good coffee place nearby. Any suggestions?!

Today was...
... a pretty great first day of class at Freie Universität: the weather was perfectly fall like, I met a lot of new (and awesome) people in class, I found that much needed cup of coffee, and even the Ring Bahn was always on time! I hope your day was just as successful! Bis morgen!

Things that are going to help get me...
... through this long day of classes: the pot of coffee I just finished, this bowl of cereal, and waiting for the International Club meeting tonight at 18:00 in room L113! Is anybody else going on being there?!

Finding your way around the #Silberlaube ...
... is no joke - it took a group of ten of us 25 minutes to find L113! It turns out the International Club is incredibly popular...and it's already full. But I've learned something: you'll never make friends faster than when you're lost in the dark, empty hallways of the Silberlaube...

Mensa II – warm and cozy
I arrived on campus just as the rain really started to pick up! Ducked in here for a late lunch since it's so warm and cozy.

Explore the #Campusbibliothek
Rainy days aren't really good for much, but I used the opportunity to explore the #Campusbibliothek and tried to get ahead on next week's reading. As good as it was for my productivity, I hope we haven't seen the last of the nice fall weather! How did you spend your rainy day?

It's cold and it's rainy, ...
... but after spending the entire afternoon inside, I've got to take a little walk. But really, if it's going to be this cold I'm going to have to switch my coffee to Glühwein soon! ^Caitlin (@steph_cait)

Being students in the interdisciplinary #JFKI means ...
... trying to step outside of your comfort zone and learn about things that are completely new. Tonight, I tried to wrap my head around economics at a lecture on the economic shock of 2008. If you can, you should try to attend some of the awesome lecture series organized by the FU institutes!

New favorite study spot!
I'm putting away my notebook and finally leaving the JFKI library (my new favorite study spot!). Because #TGIF! 🙌 It was a long week with lots of classes, coffee, and time spent on the S-Bahn, but all-in-all I think you could call it a success. And hopefully all of you can say the same! Time to grab a drink to celebrate!

As the first week of classes comes to an end ...
... so does my time behind the FU Berlin #instatakeover. I've had a blast sharing and discussing my first week with y'all. Thanks for being such an exciting and supportive group. You guys are the best! Prost to you and to an awesome semester!
