As with anyone here, my life is filled with ups and downs. Living on the sixth floor of Roggeveenhof leaves me using the elevator at least twice a day. And the elevated life comes with many annoyances. From people who feel the need to press the button for the fifth floor when six is already…

“Abstract”: A Realist Insight Into Design
By Yonna Kuipers There are two things that unite a nation more than anything: sports, and a new (Netflix) hit series. So if your country is not playing in the Six Nations, you might as well get behind this new documentary: Abstract (2017). It is an eight-part documentary focusing on different aspects of design. From…
Upcoming Event: Swan Market Rotterdam
If you’re looking for something fun to do this weekend, especially since it’s early in the semester and you can still allow yourself to leave the confines of Middelburg, why not head on over to the Swan Market in the Van Nellefabriek in Rotterdam this Sunday. For some any opportunity to leave Middelburg is enough,…
Three Towns in Zeeland to Visit this Spring
Being stuck in Zeeland for three years can be quite the challenge and I’m sure anyone here takes any possible opportunity to escape the province. Most often this leads to city trips to Amsterdam, Utrecht, Rotterdam, or Ghent (read our city guide here), but why not try something a little closer to home? There are…
What’s your damage, Heather?
What’s the 411? Already got homework? Tuition too high? Ugh, grody to the max. Okay, so maybe we weren’t all the homecoming king and queen, but that doesn’t mean that high school was a total blow? From dexters to ditzes, grab your scrunchies and get ready for this semester’s biggest hit: Heathers the Musical. Should…
Ghent City Guide
As the TR Daily Board, the three of us are constantly on the lookout for the best stories, most interesting interviews and most fascinating articles. Our days are filled with writing, editing and publishing (and a little bit of online shopping here and there), and sometimes we just want a little break from that. And…
Reach For The Stars: A Visit To The Star Observatory
Middelburg is famous for many things; its slave trade, its bolussen and the Lange Jan, but the town was also host to the inventor of the telescope (there’s some debate on who it was, just take a Van Gent course). However, it is because of this invention that Middelburg has its own star observatory, located…
Sticky sweet Honeypie
It’s halfway through the first half of the semester and if you still haven’t had a slice of cake to reward yourself for all that hard work you’ve done, now is the time. In a patis-series concerning places to eat cake, we obviously couldn’t leave out our well-loved HoneyPie. HoneyPie is a teahouse located between…
Upcoming: Cuisine Machine @ Vlissingen
One of my favorite ways to spend my free time is at a food festival, but sadly most of them take place outside Zeeland. Luckily for you Cuisine Machine’s got you sorted, because this weekend they’ll take over the industrial heart of Vlissingen! And although it’s only Tuesday, I’m sure you’re already looking forward to…
Not My Cup Of Tea – Coffee At Robuust!
Week 3 has arrived and with it the first deadlines, exams, and stress. In the second edition of the patis-series, we will take you to the place where you can keep both your social and academic fishes happy, and your sweet tooth as well: Robuust! Robuust! is by far the most hipster café in…
“De Juf” Schools Us on Delicious Cakes
Even though it is only Week 2, with all the work that you have to do it feels like Week 12, and sometimes you just deserve a break. How lovely binge-watching all of the new season of Narcos seems, sometimes actually going outside is way more rewarding. In this new patis-series we’ll (re)introduce you to…
