Looking at myself I realized each new academic year brings new beginnings. Even this year, when I’m not a student anymore, summer is coming to an end and I feel all freshened up for the NEW YEAR! This is the time of year when most of my new goals settle down in my head and I enter into several challenging projects. Also, vitamins from summer fruits and adventurous experiences just boost my energy level and provide me with a humongous motivation that makes me feel like I can climb the highest mountains.

And I never thought I would say this, but you know what? I actually love fall here in Eindhoven. University campus once again brims with freshmen excitement, the sports center is full of athletic ‘oldies’ and young ‘newbies’, and there’s the ‘Lichtjesroute’ (Light Tour), a Marathon, Fashion Weekend, DDW, Glow… There are so many events coming up! I therefore decided to wish everyone a happy (cultural) New Year! Enjoy, have loads of fun and gain new experiences.
