The yearbook of 2020/2021 is done and out! You can The yearbook of 2020/2021 is done and out! You can access it via our website or the link in our bio, and we want to express a huge thank you to the Yearbook Committee for all their hard work!
Last but not least, meet @sanne_dekker ! “Hi! M Last but not least, meet @sanne_dekker ! “Hi! My name's Sanne and I'm going to be Etcetera's treasurer this year. I'm very excited to work alongside my friends and hope to help create loads of new great friendships through Etcetera! I love ice skating so if you plan on going skating on the canals or Museumplein this winter, I'd love to come along! I'll even teach you some moves if you want ;) Besides ice skating, I also love roller skating (even though I really really suck at it), attending any and all costume parties, sewing costumes for said parties, going to classic car shows, listening to old music and dissociating from reality. Do come and say hi if you see me walking around campus or playing board games in PCH's Leeuwenkuil! I’d love to get to know you all!”
Meet @irrelevantnameless ! “Yo! I'm Anaïs Böl Meet @irrelevantnameless ! “Yo! I'm Anaïs Bölderl, next year's Commissary of Internal Affairs. Don't worry about my last name - I don't really know how to pronounce it either. Just a minor thing about me: I've found the perfect balance between basic and eccentric. Chunky shoes, a bunch of chains, and anime merch at PCH? That's me. Also, I'd tell you to say hi but most of my time spent there actually involves me being fast asleep in one of the silent study rooms. Should you ever catch me in a waking moment though, I'll most likely be playing 2048 on my phone or staring into the abyss while zoning out (they might be one and the same tbh). Feel free to snap me out of it anytime. Oh, and also - I'm big on hugs. Once it's no longer illegal to get within a two meter radius of one another, expect to get one!”
Meet @thilges.julie ! “Hi, my name is Julie Thi Meet @thilges.julie ! “Hi, my name is Julie Thilges and I’ll be the Commissary of External Affairs this upcoming year, so I’m also the one lurking behind this account. If you see me at PCH, feel free to approach me! Good ice breakers are music(als), dogs, TV shows and movies (specifically Shrek), and any book really (fanfiction counts too). I drink way too much coffee and not enough water, and you can find me either desperately attempting to teach myself a new language (emphasis on ‘attempt’), or playing the piano. I tend to bother my friends with weird fun facts that I look up in the middle of the night, but if you want to hear any of them, hmu. I can’t wait to see you in person again and hang out with you at our events!”
Meet @frantiska.b : “My name is Františka Beránková, and I will be the Secretary of Etcetera in the upcoming academic year. After enjoying the ways of university life as a general member of our lovely study association in my first year, and being the Secretary of LLACE in my second year, this feels like the natural next step and I couldn’t be more excited! I am honoured and greatly motivated to continue the strong relationship between our student body and faculty staff, and to organise the best events for you throughout the year. If you spot someone with a tote bag hanging on by its last thread to contain a stack of textbooks, chances are that’s me. If you overhear someone talking about The Beatles, U2, or some niche sci-fi movie… Please feel free to say hi to me :) I look forward to meeting you all!”
Meet Sarah Ligthart (or as I like to call her: Cha Meet Sarah Ligthart (or as I like to call her: Chairah). “Hi, I'm Sarah and I'm Etcetera's new Chair! I'm going into my third year of this bachelor (but I still feel like I just arrived here) and I can't wait to (re)meet everyone and walk the halls of PCH again! I'm always up to play a game—board, card, you name it—but I'm down to talk about more serious things too. I also study Religious Studies so I love talking about religion, history or philosophy! My room is full of plants so if anyone wants to exchange some cuttings: YES PLEASE. I'm very excited to create great events for you all with my lovely fellow board members, and I hope to hug you soon ♡”

Though it was a tough year, we‘ve had a lot of fun as the board of Etcetera. Thank you for bearing with us and making this year so fun! This is it from us. We’re handing over to the new board who will introduce themselves to you very soon. Of course we will stick around and see you at many many exciting events next year! All the love xx

We will also reflect on the year and the candidate board will introduce their policy plan for next year! We're looking forward to seeing you there.
We are beyond grateful to Dr. Ben Moore, Dr. Vikto We are beyond grateful to Dr. Ben Moore, Dr. Viktorija Kostadinova, Dr. Imogen Cohen, and Dr. Rose van der Zwaard for kindly agreeing to take part in this event and present the books that changed their lives! It was wonderful hearing why they like those books and how they had an impact on them. The professors’ picks were: Midnight’s Children by Salman Rushdie (Dr. Moore), Songs of Innocence and Experience by William Blake (Dr. Kostadinova), the audiobook My Name is Why by Lemn Sissay (Dr. Cohen). Dr. van der Zwaard chose to present four books, which were Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë, The Ballad of the Sad Café by Carson McCullers, Machines Like Me by Ian McEwan, and A Swing in a Pond in the Rain by George Saunders. It was an absolutely lovely event, and we are happy to have seen so many faces there!

Due to Covid restrictions you will need to sign up using the sign up sheet in our bio and agree to a few conditions all stated in the form in order to attend. We will provide snacks and drinks, but feel free to bring your own. See you there!
4.30pm*** We're beyond excited to announce the (u 4.30pm*** We're beyond excited to announce the (unfortunately last) guest lecture of the year! Dr Ben Moore will be speaking about cities and literature and give us an insight on "invisible architecture". No idea what that means? Join us on the 7th June at 4.30pm and find out! The zoom link is on facebook and will be in our bio.
As the academic year comes to an end, we want to e As the academic year comes to an end, we want to end it with a last fun book club about “On A Sunbeam” by Tillie Walden. You can access the graphic novel via this link: https://www.onasunbeam.com/ , or if you prefer a physical copy, you can get yours at Athenaeum (don’t forget the Etcetera discount code!): https://www.athenaeum.nl/boek/?authortitle=walden-tillie/on-a-sunbeam--9781910395370 . It is a sci-fi story about love, friendship, mystery of origins, reconstructing architecture on planets, tracing the steps of a lost loved one, and it is just overall wholesome. We look forward to seeing you one last time before a well-deserved Summer break!
Do you enjoy creative writing and a good sense of Do you enjoy creative writing and a good sense of humour? Then this workshop is for you! Etcetera is hosting another creative writing workshop, but this time it will not only be engaging and inspiring, but also humour-oriented! Join us for our Creative Writing Comedy Workshop with Jérémy Bernard this Sunday from 16.00 - 18.00. We’re looking forward to seeing you and hopefully hearing some of your writing!
Art comes in many forms, and we sure incorporated Art comes in many forms, and we sure incorporated them all. From pen to crayon to acrylic paint to digital art to actually painting on a canvas, each of your artworks are unique, and we loved seeing your final results! Considering the fact that we had 52 minutes only for our creations, we were all kind of stressed (or at least most of us were), and following a video tutorial is definitely harder than it seems to be. Discussing pop culture and art is always a good time, and we hope you had as much fun as we did!

Are you curious to see what kinds of books your pr Are you curious to see what kinds of books your professors like? We got that covered: Join us on Zoom to learn about the books that changed the lives of Dr. Ben Moore, Dr. Rose van der Zwaard, Dr. Imogen Cohen, and Dr. Viktorija Kostadinova. They kindly agreed to participate in this annual event of LLACE, and we are beyond thrilled to have them there!
With the general rating being 2.85714286/5 (kudos With the general rating being 2.85714286/5 (kudos to Alexander for doing the math) and ranging from a solid 5/5 to a 1/5, it is safe to say that the book might not have been everyone’s cup of tea, but the book club certainly was an evening well-spent. As usual, we enjoyed discussing the topics we had prepared, and congrats to Anne for winning the bingo. Of course, David’s cat could not be excluded from the post!
Are you an artist? Do you want to be one? We certa Are you an artist? Do you want to be one? We certainly do, and we are excited to paint along with you! We have found a video tutorial for a beautiful painting inspired by Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll and thought about how much fun it would be if everyone recreated the same painting. The general idea is to do that on a canvas, but if you want to use your own preferred technique of art (e.g. coloured pencils, digital art), feel free to let out all the creativity that you have. We hope to see many of you there, and we look forward to seeing your art!
Interested in applying for next year’s board? We Interested in applying for next year’s board? We have shared descriptions of our roles and our experience with them. Visit our profile to check them out. Swipe for details on how to apply. We’re looking forward to reading your application! Here’s what Anne has to say: Being Etcetera’s Commissary of External Affairs has come with a list of exciting challenges, most importantly running and managing our website and social media. Promoting events makes up a big part of my job, since it includes writing descriptions and reviews, designing promotional materials, and posting them on all channels via which Etcetera communicates with its members. Furthermore, I am staying in touch with the promotional managers of the subcommittees to organize the promotion of their events and reviews. To external associations and members who contact us via social media the Commissary of External functions as the representative of Etcetera and therefore need to consult the board for their opinions, as well as be able to make reasonable decisions on behalf of them. Commissary of External Affairs is an exciting and fun role, and I recommend applying for it to everyone who enjoys social media management and connecting to other people.
