February | 31st Board

Hey y’all,

Hope everything is going well for everyone, this month has been an absolute damn blast in my book, soooo many exciting and enlightening things have happened which has really really put me in a great mood :). We started this month of with a banger of a COP with a very good turn out, and I am super impressed with what the Activities Committee was able to pull off. And then a day after we were able to celebrate our treasurer’s birthday. Another little adventure I went on before the holidays, was a dope Taylor Swift themed party at Complex, who doesn’t love some white girl classics ;). And after that, I took a well-deserved week off, relaxed fully (during which I also turned 20) and somehow even completed a couple of my tasks. Then to get prepared for the resumption of Uni life, I went on a little badminton tournament, no win but was great. And then that week we were joyfully invited to join a cantus with our brother Sante, which was another blast of an event. And the day after we had to attend the Bachelors Open day and present, and it was great to see all the new potential students that are thinking about attending Maastricht University. The activities committee also organised a great Karaoke event, where I definitely sang my heart out. And to end of the month, my fellow board members and other friends threw me a great party which I was super grateful for and definitely had a fun time. Now we are onto March, and there are some great exciting events coming up and can’t wait to see y’all there.

Bless,

Rutvik

Hello hello,

Even though February is a short month, a lot happened. So I’ll keep it short for you guys. We organized a book sale which was successful, fun, and many people came. I attended the painting workshop for the well-being week and I really enjoyed it, the painting I made is findable in the helix room (next to Rutviks inspirational one, must he be better at EVERYTHING??). We organised CB drinks and met some nice people interested in the board, very happy about that. The 4th COP of the year was a lot of fun, got to know some drama since the theme was ‘traffic light party😏’. We had carnaval break which was very much needed, though I did have to celebrate carnaval and study for my resit, so I didn’t get the most rest from there. I went to board game night organized by the Wellbeing Committee, enjoyed myself and obviously won everything. Had the Half-Year GA, survived it, and I am working on the minutes now. 

Some side quests: went to Copenhagen, a Noah Kahan concert, a Taylor Swift themed party (very fun), and celebrated Rutviks and Maites birthday. 

Well that was fast! Hope you enjoyed reading about my month and I hope you had a lovely February as well. Let’s make next month just as filled with fun activities!! 

See you around,

Lisanne

Hello lovely people,

Crazy to think another month has passed, February really flew by quickly. Sadly I was less involved this month as I was still focusing on uni work, but I still managed to get some things done for Helix. I started my month off with Meeting with our Financial Supervisory Council to check the books as preparation for the Half-Year GA. In between studying for my resit exam and other uni work, I still managed to celebrate my birthday with the Board and also to take a necessary break during the Yoga event we hosted with our Brothers. I also met up with the treasurers of the Randwyck associations to discuss various things.After the break we hosted an Open BM to show our Board applicants what we do during our meetings. That same week we held our GA during which I presented our Half-Year realisation. I rounded off my month with some more meetings. 

On to the next month,

I hope y’all have a good one,

Maïté

Hello lovely peeps, Hello lovely peeps, at the start of this wonderful month we decided to retire as a librarian and start our new chapter with a book sale. It was a huge success and I hope that you enjoy and learn as much from those books as we have. For any students interested in a financial minor in year three, you can always come to speak to us and take a page from our book. On another page, I unfortunately was not able to be very active as a board member. I had to study a lot for a few admission tests for a couple of Master’s programs. Fortunately, I am back again and I cannot wait to see what March has in store for me and the rest of the board.

Hi,

Starting the month off with a very successful book sale and promotion for the 32nd Candidate Board,  we have had quite a nice month. Towards the end, we had the Half-Year General Assembly. The Student Evaluation Panels have been working very well and independently. 

Cheers,

Barbora

Hello hello!! We started off February with COPIV and celebrated Maïté’s birthday the day after. The week of Carnaval I didn’t party that much, since I had to study for my resit. The first Monday back we held an open BM for anyone interested to see what’s going on behind the scenes. The day after that the Well-being Committee (sorry Javi, I’m still not sure how it’s spelled) organised a Board game night, which I enjoyed a lot. On the 22nd we had the Half-year GA, which went really well. The day after we went to Santé’s cantus and we closed the week off at the open day at which I spent most of the day decorating the wall with lots of pictures, so come check it out if you haven’t seen it yet :). In the last week of February, the Activities Committee organised a Karaoke night at which we all could show our (lack of) talent on the big stage of Kaleido. We closed February off by celebrating Rutvik’s birthday since we hadn’t had the opportunity to yet during the Carnaval break on his actual birthday. 

See you next month!

Hey yall, Valentijn Here 🙂

February was a pretty eventful month, the start of the fourth course of the year of course came with the new COP which had a surprisingly great showing. The month continued with the festivities in the form of the birthdays of both our lovely Treasurer on the 7th and Our president on the 12th (during Carnaval to boot 🎉). On the more professional side though, this month the search for a new candidate board started seriously picking up pace, we had an open Board meeting this month where anyone interested in joining next year’s board could join to see what a board meeting is like. The month wrapped up with an open day where I got to present our lovely association to future students (Excitinggg).

Dear everyone, let’s recap what happened in February.

This month was not as “jam-packed” as I had thought; mainly due to the carnaval break which took a big chunk of the month. But during the working days, our lovely and hella smart Barbora organised a book sale which was a big hit to our study-dedicated students. It was also Maïté’s birthday and wooow she’s even older now. I love her so much and I truly wish her all the very best, she deserves it. Anyways, back to me ;P . On our ongoing quest to find our Candidate Board we held an “Open” Board Meeting where interested members could witness us in our most professional setting, I think they learned a lot. The following day, the well-being committee organised a board game night, it was really fun!  Furthermore, we held our half-year GA, which went pretty well. Finally, we were present at the Open Day, it was fine, not a single prospective BMS or RMT bachelor came by the Helix room… sad ;(

I am very excited about our upcoming karaoke event !! I have been waiting for this event for soooo long. Anyways, love you and don’t forget: SIGN UP FOR PRAGUE!

Ciao,

Mylena
