Welcome to Study Fastlane: WU Edition

Hey 👋
We’re Hendrik & Anna – two students who’ve been exactly where you are right now.

Starting at WU?
Yeah… it was chaos.
New city, new life.
Meanwhile 10 unread emails.
And that “wait… what even IS Sommeruni?” moment.

Back then, we kept thinking:
Why isn’t there a shortcut for all this?
So we built one. For you.


🚀 What’s this all about?

This isn’t some boring rulebook or endless checklist. It’s the cheat sheet we wish we had in our first semester.

You’ll get:

✅ The apps, systems, and hacks every WU student needs.
✅ The rookie mistakes to avoid (because we made them all).
✅ A clear path to surviving – and even thriving – at WU without burning out or turning into a coffee-fueled zombie.


👫 Meet Nils & Melanie

You won’t be going through this alone.

Say hi to two very different students you’ll meet along the way:

👨‍🦱 Nils – big dreams, zero system. He’s winging it with “good vibes” and way too many energy drinks.
👩‍🎓 Melanie – ultra-organized, on top of deadlines, the Hermione Granger of WU.

Think of them as your guides – and maybe as a mirror.

Who are you right now?
And who do you want to be?


⚡ Why does this matter?

We built this course to save you weeks (or months) of trial and error.

By the end, you’ll feel like you actually have your sh*t together:

📌 Knowing where to find what.
📌 Staying ahead of deadlines.
📌 Balancing uni, work, and social life like a pro.

This is your fast lane to becoming the student everyone else asks,
“How do you stay so on top of things?”


⚖️ Quick heads-up

We’re not officially connected to WU. This course isn’t endorsed, sponsored, or approved by the university.

Everything here comes from our own experience (and tips from other students). We keep it as accurate and up-to-date as possible, but WU systems change. So for critical stuff (like deadlines or procedures), always double-check official platforms.

That’s all for now. Time to make WU a little less confusing.
