“Yes, you can say that I am completely ‘corona student’. I started studying when I was 18 and consciously continued to live at home for a while because I couldn’t ‘do’ anything here. I could hardly walk in Utrecht. Only when it was allowed for a while until twelve o’clock, then I went to the Jansbar and De Vrienden for the first time. That was so much fun. Then I thought: I feel at home here, let’s go†
,,Somehow it was perhaps also relaxed that that was only allowed until twelve o’clock, haha. Then you at least have something to do with your day the next day. But I’m really looking forward to going out now, there are already a lot of parties planned this weekend. Sometimes, when I talk to roommates who are a bit older, I realize what I’ve missed. They think it’s weird that I almost didn’t go out.”
,,It’s also strange: you meet people much less quickly if you can’t dive into a cafe. Try making contact with fellow students if you hardly ever meet in real life. Yes, I do think I missed that. But that is now about to change. I have resolved to visit all the clubs and pubs in Utrecht with my friends and roommates. Then we will see which one we like best.”
