December | 29th Board

Well, here we are! 2022, starting in lockdown but full of exciting ideas. December was a weird and very busy month although most of the events were cancelled. Lucky for us, we did some replacement events like the Secret Santa and did the Wellbeing Taskforce try to relieve our exam stress with some cookies and tea. Talking about exams, I really hope your exams went well and that you could enjoy a nice Christmas Break! Find some new energy to start the year and head forward to everything that will come. Looking to January, our Committees could plan some events which are Covid proof so I hope to see you all (online) at the Smoothie Workshop on Blue Monday or in the city during our city walk. Furthermore, a very exciting period will start from now on for the Board because we officially are going to start with looking for a Candidate Board. Say whut?! Did time fly that fast? And of course, January, the month for new resolutions but also for evaluating. And that’s what we are also going to do this month so we can improve ourselves and Helix more. So lots to do! But first of all, I want to wish you all the best for 2022, take a glass of champagne and celebrate all small successes! Cheers guys!

Right before December started we received the very sad news that we were going into some kind of lockdown again, meaning we had to cancel a lot of events. However, luckily we had some very creative committees that immediately thought of a plan to make corona proof events. Therefore, we were still able to do the Secret Santa part of the Christmas Dinner and our Wellbeing Taskforce could provide our hard working students with cookies and tea during a well-deserved study break. We were hoping that we could do everything again after the Christmas break, but unfortunately that clearly is not the case. We already had to cancel COPIII and the Randwyck Party before the break properly began. Nevertheless, we are keeping our heads up and are going to do everything we can to still organise some very fun events soon! The events that are already planned are a Blue Monday Smoothie & Yoga workshop organised by the Wellbeing Taskforce and a City Walk organised by the Activities Committee. The past month has been quite calm as to Helix, aside from rearranging the newsletter for the hundredth time and a pretty exciting meeting with our Gala venue, but since I was moving places I was able to keep myself more than busy. I am looking forward to another busy but fun year! Happy 2022 everyone, cheers!

First of all, happy new year to you all and may all your wishes come true this year! Although we are still in lockdown, I am very positive about this upcoming year and hopeful that we can organise our events again. December has been a busy month with the exams and some administrative work for Helix, like our half year report. Despite the fact that we had to cancel most of our events in December (as well as for our events in January) there were still some things happening within Helix. Our lovely wellbeing taskforce reduced a bit of our stress with their cookies and we all got some nice gifts from a secret santa. One of my highlights from December was by far the fact that my Excursion Committee is now in the first place with the Battle of Committees, keep up the good work guys! Speaking of the excursion, January is probably going to be the month that we are going to start promoting the excursion so stay tuned!

As for all the exams, I hope those went well for everyone and that the BBS1002 pubquiz helped our firsties out a lot. 

Then lastly, I hope that you all had a nice Christmas break and I hope to see you (when our lovely government allows it again) at one of our events or in the Helixroom in the new year. That 2022 may be our year. Cheers. 

2022 already, the time goes waaay too fast. I wish you all a happy new year and best wishes! Unfortunately, we were not able to organise many events in December due to Covid-19. One of the events that were still possible was the Wellbeing Cookie event. During this event, people who studied at university during exam week were able to stop by and get free coffee, tea and cookies. We hope that this event made the tough exam week a little bit better. Behind the scenes, I have been busy with starting up the family day committee. The family day will take place (hopefully) in March this year, so make sure to be there! 

In addition, I started organising the BIC (Biomedical interfaculty Congres) together with board members from other study associations from the whole country. This event will hopefully take place in 2023, therefore my successor will eventually organise the event itself. Lastly, as you may have seen on our Instagram page, we had a Helix advent calendar. This was a great success and we got very positive reactions to this idea. During the first 24 days of December, I was busy making the stories and posting them. I hope we can organise lots of events again in 2022 and I wish you all the best;)

First of all, I want to wish you all a happy 2022! I hope you had a nice holiday break :). A lot of our events were cancelled which was very sad. But we gotta stay positive! There are some very nice covid proof events coming up. Right before the holiday started we had a very nice event organized by the Wellbeing taskforce. I very much liked dropping by these kind girls in between my study sessions for some snacks. For the educational part, I had some coordinator meetings and student council. The courses are finished so this means that the SEPs are busy again working on their reports. My hopes are high for our government to open universities ASAP. And if they will. You bet I’ll push uni as hard as possible to open up again! There ain’t no mountain high enough when it comes to this.
