The history of snaps songs
One of the things students in Lund value a great deal is singing songs from the beloved songbooks of nations and unions. Our very own LundaEkonomerna songbook was revised before Lundakarnevalen earlier this year and we can now find no less than 175 songs in it. But from where does in fact all snapsvisor originate…
General Knowledge: Holger Craaford
Holger Craaford. The name rings a bell? It may be because he has lent his name to the infamous Café Holger. More probable is that you have seen his name in capital letters pass over your head every time you enter Ekonomicentrum. In order for you to be able to boast with your knowledge to…
Late night food review: Part 1 (Challes)
It is a regular Thursday night in Lund, almost 01:30, and my legs have gotten weary from dancing at Casa. Just like me, everyone at Casa is enrolled at the university, and I hope they have been good students and done their work before heading out for the night. As for myself, my head is…
Gräddgasquen 2018
The 20th of October, the Social Committee hosted the sittning ‘’Nightmare at AF’’. Just before the sittning, the President of LundaEkonomerna had been kidnapped. And he was not alone. Roughly 30 LundaEkonomer had been kidnapped by our little brother Uppsalaekonomerna (with a revenue only half the size of LundaEkonomerna) in order to attend the one…
Sunny California
Little over a year ago I decided to apply for a year in California through Lund university’s partnership program with University of California. It was a spontaneous application by a recommendation from a friend, however I am happy I took the chance because my year in San Diego was on of the best times in…
A Day at IKEA
At 8 o’clock in the morning a cold day in April, I went to Lund C to meet up with a group of 20 students, travelling to the deep woods of Småland or more specifically to the town of Älmhult. Älmhult is a place that might not have been much for the world, if it…
Studentafton with Pussy Riot
There is a lot of things I like about Lund. One of them is the endless amount of things to do, there is all different kinds of sports teams to join, lectures to attend and nations to work at. If I wanted to, and put some effort into it, I could be busy doing different…
The Problem of Housing in Sweden
It’s no news to anyone that finding a place to live with short notice in Sweden is difficult, especially if you are looking for a place to buy or rent in Sweden’s major cities such as Stockholm, Malmö, Gothenburg. Lund isn’t a big city but it is no exception to the lack of housing. Why…
Running Fearlessly
When you google “1967” and “important happenings”, the internet gives you many events: Nicole Kidman and Mark Ruffalo was born, Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix was recorded, Sweden introduced their first detections dogs and The Jungle Book had its world premiere on cinemas around the world. In other words, from a historical point of view…
Organizational Culture and Rituals
Toward the end of the spring semester we might receive more and more invitations to participate in different kinds of social events: a sittning, a graduation ceremony or a just regular get- together with corridor mates. Why do we feel the urge to create such social happenings and why does it feel natural or in…
