It’s always a fascinating spectacle to see the campus bursting with new students at this time of the year (I thought while eating lunch in the canteen ;)). I am always a bit jealous of the freshmen and all those first semester adventures waiting for them. Why can’t I be 20 again – only for

Mmmh… with some tiny addition like shoes, boots, scarves, pulse warmers and hats I may survive the next few weeks ;). Like always: All
