Good to see you! A
t last. The infamous first Monday of your new life has come. A Monday that doesn’t just mark the beginning of your time at Aarhus University, but also marks the beginning of a week where you will take a look at all your new classmates, and more importantly, they will take a look at you. But don’t worry. The worst part is already over. The fear of not getting picked for a class, the fear of not liking any of your fellow students, and of cause the fear of breaking the ice is already past. Relax, you are now already in a class, you already know that you don’t like anyone, and you already know that the instructors are there with the ice axe. Everything will be just fine. And Thursday it’s all over, and you will
only have memories from the good stuff, and possibly none from your embarrassing behavior in Klubben. This is where Commerciel Magazine helps you out. During the short week, we will publish four magazines with all the best from the day before, so you won’t forget. In today’s issue you can learn more about Studenterlauget, Commerciel Magazine and different events through the year, so check it out and be prepared. And tomorrow morning, grab the second of our special introduction week editions, and read the entertaining stories you participated in today. Have a great time, and start enjoying life at Business and Social Sciences.
