What better time than the actual Halloween to relive the madness of the Freak Show! 🎪🎠

Your costume game was so on point, you'd think the spirits themselves had a hand in it! Kudos to all of you for nailing the dress code - you looked eerily fantastic!

But alas, our night had to be cut short - a word to the wise, folks: let's not tango with the radiators next time if we want to party 'til dawn. 🔥💃

And let's show some love to our amazing sponsors, Pophouse.lv and Taste CAPS! 🙌 They hooked us up with cookies, popcorn, and all the snacks we needed for a freaky night that won't be forgotten! 🍪🍿

Once upon an ordinary weekday…there were SSE Rigans, even faculty, who came together to see what our dear Year 2s and Year 3s have been up to during the summer. 👀
The chilly Soros auditorium was not so chilly after such an uplifting spirit! 💡We can't tell if there were more laughs or jokes, but, Year 1s, if you didn’t get the memo - your first internship journey will be a unique story in itself, just like the stories 🚀

From rookies to rock stars, Year 2s will take you behind the scenes in the world of internships as they delve into the untold stories of the corporate world. 💼

Congratulations to Year 3s! The journey has been far from easy, yet the bonds shared with coursemates, friends, and faculty no doubt became a source of solace that weekend!

To the Year 3s, your presence at SSE Riga will be truly missed, and the SSE Student Association wishes you nothing but the utmost success as you embark on your next career endeavors! 🎓

They say that the second year at SSE Riga is the most challenging, but Year 2s proved that with unwavering dedication and patience anything and everything is possible. Now, as some of you prepare to embark on thrilling adventures abroad, we wish you to fearlessly conquer the world during your exchange year! 🌎🤸‍♀️

And to Year 1s, the taste of SSE has been both exhilarating and demanding, hasn’t it? Ahead lies a challenging year, so make sure you get all the rest, beauty sleep, and energy before you step into the next academic chapter. 😴🔋

And, of course, our appreciation to our generous supporters who made the last party of this academic year an extraordinary one! OX Drive, gifted the coolest prizes imaginable 🚗! Switch, enhanced the spirited atmosphere of the festivities 🪩! And lastly, Amber Distribution Latvia, for welcoming our guests with exquisite champagne 🥂! Thank you for making this event truly remarkable!
