Hello everybody,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m Miriam Zijlstra and this year I\u2019ll be the praeses (chair) of Sophia Aeterna. This means that I\u2019ll try to have an oversight of everything that happens within the association. I\u2019m also the first person to contact if anything needs to be dealt with. I\u2019m 19 years old and my hometown is Brielle, but I\u2019m currently living in Leiden, as you can imagine I have a special bond with the Watergeuzen. This year is my second year of the bachelor GLTC. Even though I enjoy studying here, I do have a life outside of university. I love to read, especially translations and retellings of the Iliad and the Odyssey. I\u2019m supposed to be in the USC often, so if this isn\u2019t the case remind me! And I love to go out for drinks (either coffee or grapejuice). So if you want to sip and or spill tea, let me know! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love,
Miriam<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Ab-actis<\/a>
Roos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Hello everybody!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My name is Roos van Beusekom and you will encounter my name a lot this coming year: under all the Sophia emails of course! After all, I will be ab-actis (secretary) of our beautiful association. I will be responsible for those amazing bi-monthly emails and I will be taking minutes for all of our meetings, which makes my writer\u2019s heart beat a little quicker! Yes, you read that right, even in my spare time I\u2019m always hunched over my screen, with my shrimp posture, typing away the hours. Otherwise, I\u2019m reading a good book or binging yet another fun series on my couch in Leiden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not all fun and games; the bachelor Classics needs to be finished at some point, and I\u2019ve only just started my second year! So, oftentimes you can find me in the university library hastily preparing my lectures (save the best for last, isn\u2019t it?), but I\u2019m always down for a fun coffee break. If you see me walking through the halls of the Lipsius, or whatever other place you can come up with, with a distant look on my face (sadly also equipped with a so-called resting bitch face), then don\u2019t hesitate to pull my head out of the clouds with a nice talk. I\u2019m looking forward to seeing all of you during the incredibly exciting activities that we will be organising this year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lots of love, Roos
<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Quaestor<\/a>

Hello lovely readers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My name is Lieke Duyvesteijn, and I'm going to be quaestor (treasurer) of our dear Sophia Aeterna this coming year. I'm 19 years old, I'm from Brielle and I still live there. I'm starting my second year of the GLTC bachelor, which I'm thoroughly enjoying! Outside of studying, I spend plenty of time on public transport, but I also enjoy reading a book or trying to bake macarons for the umpteenth time (often in vain...). I also love seeing familiar faces, so if you see me strolling through the corridors of Lipsius, running through the train station, or just standing around somewhere, please wave! I'd love to chat!\nAs quaestor, I'm responsible for budgets, projects, and especially for collecting a lot of receipts. When you don't pay your dues, I'm the one who follows up on it. This way, I ensure that all sorts of fun activities can be organized. I'm already looking forward to seeing you all there! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hiiiii!!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m Alex, and this year I\u2019m assessor, which famously comes from the word adsedere<\/em> and thus literally means that I\u2019m the one who sits beside\u2026 but in practice it means I\u2019ll be involved with all the committees Sophia has to offer and maintain contact with other associations. Now, a bit about me as a person! I\u2019m from Bozzywood (= Bergen op Zoom) and I\u2019m 19 years old as well. If you ever run into me in the hallways, don\u2019t hesitate to strike up a conversation, because I love to yap!!! That\u2019s also why I\u2019m really looking forward to getting to know everyone better at activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mille basia<\/em>,
Alex<\/p>\n\n\n\n
