My Life As Lisa: Welcome Spring, the world says Hello!

Roosevelt Academy united. All students are forming one powerful unity.
Together we are strong. Recently, the RA students assembled to an influential entity, affecting a nationwide decision. You might now wonder: What was it that this excellent university achieved?

Did they win important sports tournaments?

Did they participate in life-changing research?

Did they convince politicians to free Tibet?

I am afraid the answer is “no“. Probably due to the otherwise intellectually challenging activities (or maybe that is just a lame excuse), we succumbed to triviality and put all our energy into a slightly less sophisticated goal than those mentioned above. We, with joined forces, brought the Ben&Jerry’s Free Cone Day to Middelburg on April 12^th. For days and days, students have been voting and promoting Middelburg on facebook. Which again proves the uniting power of Ben&Jerry’s ice cream. It simply is a temptation too hard to resist – for anyone. And not just girls that lately lived through a bad breakup, that is mostly just a good excuse to eat the whole bucket of B&J’s ice. A guilty pleasure we all secretly want to commit but don’t, so we don’t get fat and are therefore broken up with and need to stuff ourselves to drown the sorrow. It’s a vicious circle.

On top of all this, it rounds off our sunshiny days perfectly. It gives us a reason to slow down, stroll across the market square in the wonderful spring air and let our noses be tickled by the sun – at least the amount of time the free Ben&Jerry’s takes to melt deliciously on our tongues.

Enjoy!
Lisa
