Look, I get it - writing is HARD. Especially when Look, I get it - writing is HARD. Especially when you're just starting out! If tearing your hair out and running away in hopes of getting adopted by the wolves are your go-to responses to hearing the words "midterm assignment" or "final essay," however, you'll be relieved to find that it can get better!! You won't need to be a bald wolf-baby after all! If you think that your writing could use that bit of extra help, go ahead and join us in PCH on 15th of February at 3 PM! Dr Nicholas Carr has kindly agreed to once again lend us his expertise and share some great tips on how to step up your essay game!

The second semester of the academic year 2022/23 i The second semester of the academic year 2022/23 is almost here, and to make sure you are well prepared, we are organising another book sale! As a member of Etcetera, you are able to buy your English syllabus books with a 15% discount, in collaboration with Athenaeum Boekhandel. The book sale begins today, and ends on Sunday 12th February. During this time, you can buy your books at a 15% discount. Of course, you can still place orders at Athenaeum afterwards, but with the regular 10% discount outside of bulkweken. Athenaeum wish to make it abundantly clear that, if you opt for our bulkweken option, they cannot ship your order by post. Thus, it is important to ensure that you will be in Amsterdam and able to physically pick up your books. After placing your order, you will receive a confirmation email from Athenaeum with the following details. You can pick up your books at the Etcetera office (PCH 0.17, Spuistraat 134), starting from Wednesday 15th February until Friday 18th February. If these dates do not work for you, please contact Etcetera via board@sv-etc.nl.

WE WANT YOU! The yearbook is a staple of Etcetera WE WANT YOU! The yearbook is a staple of Etcetera and also of the English department. Every year a host of new students come together to make a completely new yearbook. This brings with it a host of exciting challenges, but not to worry, because every year our amazing committee comes up with brilliant solutions to tackle these challanges together. What’s in it for you? First of all, you get to make a completely new yearbook, so you gain a lot of experience in how to make something, consequently you’ve an opportunity to develop your skills in a safe environment. Secondly, you meet new people, like your committee members and professors. Lastly, it is fun! What roles are there? Do you have what it takes to steer the ship in the right direction and have an overview of the whole process, but also help out where needed, then chair would be a great option. You can also be a secretary and this means that you’re taking notes during the meeting. Lastly there is general member, in this role you can do a lot of different things like, graphic design, proofreading, interviewing professors, writer, editor, and photographer. The beautiful thing is that you can just do one thing, but if you want to you can do more. You can sign up by filling in the form in the linktree!
This semester has been a rollercoaster for all of This semester has been a rollercoaster for all of us but we managed to make it a fun one! We went to trips, we celebrated Halloween, we enjoyed some book clubs with a side of tea, we were judged for our trivia knowledge, but mostly we laughed and danced and enjoyed each other's company. We thank you for spending a great semester with us and we cannot wait for the next one to be even better! 💛
Observe! Seated here are the attendants of the boo Observe! Seated here are the attendants of the book club on "Cloud Atlas." The young intellectuals rejoice as they sip tea and recover from the spirited discussion on reincarnation, human cloning and the power of audiobooks read in a robotic voice. They're sophisticated like that. As usual, big thanks to Atheneum for letting us use their lovely space and lots of respect for everyone that managed to join us (especially since leaving the house that day involved challenging the frightful forces of nature suddenly unleashed in the form of howling winds and horrible rains. We really appreciate the dedication!). To those of you that missed the best event of the month this time - worry not! The next opportunity to participate in an exhilarating literary debate is coming soon… (Not telling you anything more just yet, though!! It's suspense time, baby! 😎)

We really did it this time, folks. Past Monday, we We really did it this time, folks. Past Monday, we made SITTING IN CLASS and RECALLING FACTS more COOL and EXCITING than ever. The brainiacs pictured here battled bravely. Armed only with the sharpness of their own minds, they faced literary questions that were honestly PRETTY HARD (woo!) to win the sweetest prizes known to man - respect and little chocolate treats :) Although technically only one team could emerge victorious, I would like to thank everyone for participating. At the end of the day, we were ALL winners for doing our best (PLEASE do not let the shame of defeat consume you and consider still attending future events <3)
