Dear readers,
Editor-in-chief Marjolein v. d. Brand
Winter is officially over and the time for spring has finally come. A shining sun, flowers popping out of the ground and more smiles on people’s faces. It smells like spring. It even sounds like spring – the birds getting overly excited in the morning and people are outside enjoying the great weather. Yes, you’re reading it right. Enjoying good weather is also a part of living in the Netherlands (it isn’t that bad all the time). Lucky you, because you’re going to experience the best time of the year in our small country! This issue is all about the new season, to escape from your student room and become active again! But where to go, you might ask. Pay a visit to Utrecht’s finest public parks for a day in the sun or host a picnic with your friends. You could bring a fresh and delicious lemon cake which will make everyone happy – and we’ve got the perfect recipe for you. Or spend your day in another Dutch city: How about Leiden? And there’s many more. Go to one of the many festivals and celebrate
