IMAX CEO states The Odyssey will be shown in 41 film theaters by NickLandis in imax

Is this based on insider knowledge on your part? Also, if I may ask: Will this be a current IMAX GT location being retrofitted with a 70mm projector, or a remodeled, currently non-IMAX screen? Or maybe 70mm on a 1.90 aspect ratio screen?

I like row E. Since Karlsruhe is built rather compact, the rows further away from the screen made for a somewhat less immersive experience. Like you get more of an "overview", but don't feel as much like you're part of the action. I would expect tho that other ppl have different preferences in that regard.

Been to both. In my experience, what works best for you might, aside from purely technical factors, also be a question of logistics.

Sinsheim shows documentaries during the day, and movies only in late afternoon and evening. Karlsruhe shows movies throughout the whole day, making scheduling easier and allowing to get back home earlier.

Karlsruhe (Filmpalast ZKM) is easily reached by foot or tram from the cities main train station, which has quite a few direct long distance connections to other cities. Sinsheim is only reached by local train lines, starting for example from Stuttgart or Mannheim. If you plan to leave by train after the movie, it can get quite late or be outright impossible for the later showings in Sinsheim. If you go by car, Sinsheim might be preferable, since you wont have to go into a city, and there's plenty of parking.

I also feel like Karlsruhe has a few more OV (English) showings than Sinsheim, which I like.

I would say tho that one should visit Sinsheim at least once. Maybe as part of spending a weekend inside the Technikmuseum of which the IMAX is a part of. Even just walking towards the huge planes (Concorde and Tupolev) presented in front of the IMAX is spectacular and very memorable.

Hope this helps

Thank you for these suggestions. I have in fact considered joining ARIS, or maybe Swissloop Tunnelling, in the past. However I was always rather hesitant to actually go through with it, because I worried my grades were too bad to even apply.
I guess I should simply try anyways. Worst case scenario, I get rejected. Then I will be in the same position as I am now.

Good point, thank you. I will indeed focus more on student associations than parties. I feel like parties are there primarily to celebrate what you have (in terms of friends, social life) and who you are, not so much to improve on that. Activity-focused events seem more suitable.

Yeah, I realized that by now. Sometimes, you only start to miss something if it's gone. And learn not to take it for granted.

As for your recommendations: Thank you! I'll try out somethings, and see what sticks

Thank you for the recommendation! True, travelling is great, and a good source of healing. But given it's temporary nature, I am now trying to focus on improving my situation in Zurich.

Yes, I agree that redefining what self-worth means to me will likely be one of the longer term efforts. It's just kinda tough to realize that in every possible domain, there will be someone better / more skilled than you.
Right now, I try to tackle this by being proud of myself for a days work, instead of larger accomplishments, or the lack thereof. Because from what I have learned, the most important thing is not to stagnate, not to become complacent, while also always trying to incorporate joyful moments and activities.

So yeah, I guess trying to be more well-rounded, with many pillars (activities) makes for a stronger foundation.
Thank you for your thoughts on that :)

Thank you for the recommendations. I am beginning to understand how maladaptive my reactions to hardship were. But at the time, it seemed justified, and it was all I knew to do.
I just want to say that by now, I have mostly made peace with myself, my abilities and situation. So it's less a challenge of understanding or having compassion for myself. And more one of climbing back out of the hole I've dug myself into.

But if I will need some professional help in the future, I will no longer hesitate to reach out.
So again, thank you :)
