hi hi ⭐️

my name is Brigita and I am from Lithuania, a 3rd year student at CB. Currently, I am doing my exchange semester in South Korea, Seoul at Sungkyunkwan University, majoring in media & communications. Moreover, I am looking for an internship for next year.
Also, during my 2nd year of CB I was part of the link-up special events team, honors program and SPC member, so if you have any questions about the extra activities outside the classroom I can definitely answer and share my experience.🤩

so during the week I plan to share more about the internship search process as well as show more how the studies look in South Korea. And answer any questions you might have about my experience at HU so far.

I hope I can provide some value with my experience at CB.🦋

The Future You: How To Network The Right Way

📅 Date: November 5th, 2024
🕖 Time: 19:00 - 21:00
📍 Location: Social Impact Factory, Utrecht (Vredenburg 40, near Utrecht Central)

We’ve all heard the old saying, “Your Network Is Your Net Worth, “ but nobody tells you how to build a network.

If you don’t know how to find the right people to network with, what to say to them, when to say it, or even how to approach them, then this is for you.

For our next event, we invited Bogdan Manta, CB’s favorite Neuroscientist to show us exactly how to build a relevant network that is going to actually help you in your career.

Here’s what we’re going to do:

Talk about the biggest mistakes and misconceptions about networking
Give practical advice on how to network properly
Use neuroscience to increase your networking skills
Answer your specific questions about networking

Plus, you’ll get:

An ebook with everything we cover at the event
Free drinks and snacks
1-on-1 time with Bogdan

🎟 Ticket Prices:

Standard: €5

👥 Only 35 spots available, so make sure to grab your ticket before they’re gone.

🏢 In partnership with: Social Impact Factory, Utrecht

Note from Bogdan: If you’re hungry and want to bring your food to eat during the event, we’re encouraging you to do so. We want to create a nice casual environment for everybody so you’re more than welcome to eat or drink during the event.

Hiii
I’m Federico, a 4th year Creative Business Student from Italy.
Right after high school I found myself having to answer to “And now? What’s next?”.
I decided to enrol in Computer Science in Turin only to realise, 2 years later, it was not stimulating enough.

I then looked up on Google bachelor’s that fit most of my interests and Creative Business was first so I packed my leave and moved to Utrecht! 🇳🇱
In these past 3 years this has been my safe place where I felt free to wonder, explore and awe at whatever life threw at me and I can’t wait to share with you how can Creative Business completely turn your life around and help you find your way.
I’ll see in the stories this week :)

Hi everyone! ✨

I’m Larisa, a 22-year old Creative Business student from Romania. I moved here 3 years ago to continue my studies in another country and time flew by so fast that I’m already in the 4th and final year 🥹.

I was also a content creator for the CB Instagram and TikTok pages for 2 years and participated in a quite a few Open Days so I’m very excited to share ALL my CB knowledge with you 🥰

In the next few days you’ll get to know me better and ask me *any* questions you might have about internships, minors, international student life here in NL or any other related topic you have in mind!! ☺️

I hope you’ll find my takeover useful and I’m looking forward to interacting with everyone! See you on the stories! 🤩

Hey there, beautiful and lovely people❤️‍🔥

My name is Evelina - a free spirit from Belarus whose life brought her to Utrecht, studying Creative Business (and loving it!)

Just like any student, I've been on a constant discovery journey of "who I am" and "what I want to do in life", but after completing my minor in New York and an internship in Amsterdam in 3rd year, a lot has become clear for me in that regard and it truly has been an eye-opening experience overall👁️✨

That's why this week I want to embark with you on a lil' journey into the future: What does it look like for a CB student? Does it even exist? Where will you end up in the end? Is it really terrifying - to finally become "an adult"?

Stay tuned, as I'll be answering all of these questions and sharing some wisdom and tips that would've helped me a lot if I knew them before.

And I may not be doing it alone 👀

But hey - no spoilers!
I'll just say: keep an eye on the stories ;)

LET’S POSTPONE?

You always have more time... until you don’t! ⏳ Waiting till the last moment means more stress, anxiety, and guilt – and that task still needs to be done. 😅 Join this Podium event as an expert helps us break the habit of procrastination. After the talk, we’ll jump straight into a creative workshop to practice what we’ve learned. 💡🎉 Then, let’s celebrate with a drink – on the house! 🍻

You can have your pick of these creative workshops:
🧠 Mindfulness: playful exercises to help take charge of your thoughts and overcome procrastination.
🎯 Creative Thinking: change your perspective, discover why you procrastinate, and leave with tools to stay motivated.
🎨 Drawing: focus on the process, experiment creatively, and fight procrastination with group support.
🎭 Theatre: use improv and theatre games to flip the script on procrastination and laugh at it.

Hello everyone!

I'm Jovela, third year Creative Business student currently studying Music Management and Marketing for my Minor. Hailing from the beautiful country of Indonesia, I'm here to bring you guys along for my day to day life, give you some easy food recipes, tips and tricks, and an overall perspective of a Non-EU student. I hope my takeover can help you guys and inspire you on how to adapt to life here in the Netherlands as a student 🫶

Hello everyone, Steph here!
Professional yapper, academic weapon, you name it, I've probably used it to describe myself.
I'm 20 years old and I'm a 3rd year here at Creative Business, currently doing my minor (still at HU) in Brand Experience & Event Design!
I'm from Romania and I moved here when I was 18 as a leap of faith and somehow made it work. Anything related to finances, what it's like to start off alone, mental health, and personal advice is my specialty. I want my TakeOver week to be as productive and as helpful as possible, so please, don't be afraid to ask ANY questions.
I'm also in the honours programme and spent 2 years as a LinkUP member, starting off in the Special Events team and then promoting to Treasurer/Secretary, just incase those are things you're interested in.
I look forward to interacting with each and every one of you 😽!!
