The Dutch know the meaning of 'weekend'
I have been here in Wageningen for one and a half years now. I must admit, I struggle with the study load and find it hard to keep a balance between my studies and my social life. I feel that my social life had crumbled since coming to study in the Netherlands. Caught up in the daily grind of managing my study load, I have forgotten the meaning of weekend. Whatever Saturday and Sunday are meant to stand for, for me they have become working days like any other.
