YOUR FRESHERS GUIDE
Hey there Pal! You are now enrolled and started your studies in The Netherlands, oh lucky you!
Your university years are extremely important in building a base of positive health-related behaviors that support your lifestyle far into adulthood (Snedden, 2019). No one said it is going to be easy, as a matter of fact, you are most likely to face all kinds of emotions and feelings; Whether they are positive or negative, it does not matter.
Our mission is to facilitate your day-to-day life by succeeding, progressing and adapting into this new stage of your life: the what so called “freshman year”. Friedrich Nietzsche famously said: “That which does not kill us makes us stronger”; you heard that right, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, so do not be afraid to live your life, live the moment!
​
Our ambition is to give you as many tips, news and clues to help you live a genuine life and in overall, build a better version of yourself while living this first year in the Netherlands. This website includes sections related to food, fitness, body image, social well-being and many other extra helpful topics which will help you live your best life as a first year student in the netherlands. The content presented in the magazine is referenced with academic journals and theoretical frameworks linked to sociology and psychology.
