The temperatures have dropped, sunlight is dwindling, and snow is (not) falling. This can only mean that winter has finally arrived in the Netherlands. Even if snow is replaced by rain, and the holiday spirit is crushed by exam weeks, there is still some peace and quiet to look forward to.

To really enjoy the short break we get from uni, Terra is going into hibernation from the 15th of December onwards. This means reduced office hours and no more events until January. Take the time and eat cookies, drink mulled wine, and cuddle up in your favourite blanket, and enjoy the cold months of the year.

We are back for all your coffee-related needs, socialising desires, and education queries in January. Since this month is spent by many on fieldwork or in their home countries, we work on a reduced schedule. Expect our full return to weekly events at the beginning of February.

Together, we will host an event full of mulled wine, holiday treats, and a crafting session where you can make your own holiday decoration to drive the winter blues out of your home. We have baubles, glasses, and other things for you to paint and bedazzle to your liking. And while you do that, we will provide you with a luxurious assortment of hot drinks and mulled wine.

If you like, bring some snacks you crave during winter to share, or even a small gift to exchange with someone else. Don´t let the cold and dark confine you to your room; social life is not buried under a layer of snow. We are waiting for you! Sign up here to claim your spot https://forms.gle/mZMeBkFP87BJSb156
