New York’a Hangi Vize Türüyle Geldim?

New York’a geliş hikayemi bir önceki yazımda kısaca anlatmıştım. Peki ama nasıl geldim? Hangi vize türüyle geldim? En kısa yoldan buraya gelmenin yolu nedir? İşte bu kez, bu yazımda size biraz da bu konudan bahsetmek istiyorum. Fatih’le anlaşıp New York’a gelmemin kararını aldıktan sonra en hızlı ne şekilde oraya gidebileceğimi düşünmeye başladık. En kolay öğrenci vizesini alabileceğimi düşündük. Öğrenci vizesi için de yine hangi tür okula başvurmam gerektiğini anlamamız gerekiyordu. Master için birincisi o kadar yüklü param yoktu. İkincisi gerekli belgeleri toplamam gerekiyordu. Master için gerekli belgeler: Amerika Öğrenci Vizesi Gerekli Belgeler TOEFL (105 üstü puan almakta fayda varç) GPA 3.0 ve üzeri olmasında fayda var. GMAT GMAT, bizdeki Ales’ in karşılığına denk gelen sınav. İngilizceniz ve sayısal bilgilerinizin ölçüldüğü bir sınav kısaca. Birçok kişi bu tarz bi duruma nereden bakarsanız en az 1 yıl öncesinden hazırlanıyor. Benim ise sadece 3-4 ayım var New York’a gitmek için. Bazı sertifika programlarına katabilirdim. Baruch, FIT gibi okullarin çok…

Can New Yorkers live in Austin?

Austin Texas was at the top of our list after decide to check other cities and states. We’ve hard so many good things about this city. Especially after years of living in Brooklyn. So let’s talk about the question Can New Yorkers live in Austin? Of course, why not? But if you really feel like you’re done with city life. Apparently, I am not done with city life. I am still looking for walk distance things in my daily life. I am telling you I cannot live in a city where doesn’t have a walk distance lifestyle. All the cities I’ve lived so far has that lifestyle. After 8 years of living in NY, I feel like I can’t make it with the idea of going everywhere with the car, struggle with parking space and traffic. Austin is this great city with its social life. Especially people are so so nice. Currently, we are in LA….

Quick Protein Breakfast for Moms Who Battle with Their Twins

After I’ve finished with my intense fat loss diet, I needed a healthy quick protein breakfast solution for my morning routines. When I made a little search for quick protein breakfast solutions, I came across with frozen cakes, pancakes mostly. What I was looking for is something with protein, grain and maybe some greens. Lucikly Healthy Choice send me this great two bowls me to try. I received White Bean & Feta Salad and Unwrapped Burrito Scramble. These two bowls are exactly what I was looking for. Because, White Bean & Feta Salad is included grains like brown red rice, red quinoa and black barley but It has also Feta which I love as a Turkish person. (We love our feta in our traditional Turkish breakfast). And Unwrapped Burrito Scramble has proteins like turkey sausage and egg whites and vegetables. Yum! Don’t forget to fact that I never eat scrambled eggs for breakfast. And this morning bowl is really really delicious….

Here It Comes My New Year Resolution for 2019

I’ve just finished reading my previous year’s resolution. I think I did a great job on that list. It supposedly was for college kids, and I realized how good it was. Because I enjoyed reading it at this age. And I am kind of surprised how wise I sounded. Yet here I am still with my new year resolutions for 2019. And I wonder if the most successful men still do that or they have done after a certain point with resolutions. Perhaps they figure things out, they know the solutions? I wish I knew the answer to that. You know what I am still the pretty much same person. Aperantly, my resolutions are not working for me most of the time. I am not those people that they can change themselves easily. I think I am very strict about changes. You can see that from our move from New York. I still keep whining about it…

Confidence and writing in English

I write all my life. This passion start when I was in secondary school. We had this writing skills class that all of my friends hated. I was always the biggest fan of this class. Writings have been always easy for me. I was always the favourite student of my Literature teachers. So some of my friends were annoyed by me. (perhaps they were a bit jealous 🙂  But I have never been that annoying nerd one. I’ve been blogging since 2005. Unfortunately, I’ve only written in Turkish which is my mother-tongue language until late 2013. After I moved to NY in 2011, I attempted to write in English a few times. My first writings were awful back then.  It was painful for me to practice and write in English. Because of this lack of confidence, I was afraid to send business e-mails. I really hate when someone sends me a bad business e-mail which is covered…

Living in Greenpoint Pros and Cons

Moving to New York is one of my best decisions ever. I left my cool advertising job in Istanbul and moved to New York after my boyfriend located here. That’s a quite love story which you can read here. It has been 7 years since I moved to New York. And things changed a lot in my life both professionally and privately. I am a mom now. I’ve never thought that I am going to leave my awesome Upper East Side apartment and move to Brooklyn one day. But I changed a lot. I long for neighbourhood vibes more than 7/24 sirens all around the city. I want to have a cosy chat with my pharmacist at the corner of Greenpoint and Manhattan. (I do have that relationship with my pharmacist now :)) So I want to start my list with my favourite Pros. Jungle Print Camisole: Asos (very similar) | White culotte: Asos | Bag:…

How do I move to New York from Istanbul in 2011?

I don’t know why I haven’t talked about on this subject ever. I mean I talked about this million times to my American friends but not here. That’s very weird actually. In this beautiful spring day, I’ve decided to talk about my story of moving to New York. Let’s hear me how do I move to New York from Istanbul in 2011? How do I move to New York from Istanbul in 2011? Love. My reason was love. This was the first time ever I did the craziest thing in my life. I moved after two and half months old relationship. Fatih and I were dating for two and half months before he came back to here for work. We knew we are going to break up because of his moving here. But after he came here we couldn’t split. I mean we tried a couple of times but I was so bitter to end the most…

My Twin Girls’ 7 Favourite Items in 7th Month

. I’ve just realized that I haven’t talked about the girls for a while. I share them on my Instagram time to time. If you want to keep updated with them you can check @umaybike (Umay & Aybike) account on Instagram. But I am more a private person when It comes to my babies. But I don’t see any harm to share about the products they love the most. So check My Twin Girls’ 7 Favourite Items in 7th Month. Some of my blogger friends keep telling me about why I don’t share them more so I can have more paid collaborations because of that sharing something about baby related products. Actually, I am even more careful about promoting a brand or a product with my followers about the children or babies. First of all, I have to be 1000% sure about the brand I am referring. Every baby is different. Even my twins are very different from each…
