Life is a Box of Swiss Chocolates: Birthdays and Being Independent


Life is a Box of Swiss Chocolates is a recurring column showcasing the life of a UFV student studying abroad. Jennifer is in Lucerne, Switzerland at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts this semester, and documenting the process as she goes.
I recently turned 25, and I had the best birthday here in Switzerland. Now, I should tell you that Swiss people are very private and not very fond of the whole big birthday display. So when I told a couple of Swiss friends that I wanted to celebrate my birthday weekend, they thought I was being kind of silly. It’s just not a thing people do here. But I figured 25 is a big deal regardless. I’m not around my family or longtime friends, so I wanted to do it up good.
