GoogleI know what you did last winter...
There are some things you just don’t want to remember. For me, Financial Economics course is one of them. You can call me weak, too sensitive, not loving challenges, but those two winter months have been my worst experience so far. And as I am not planning to become a super-cool-super-rich-investmentbanker, I hope I will never have to live in such a nightmare again. In my personal case, surviving finance was comparable to a classical psychological crisis, which followed four main stages: shock, denial, depression and acceptance.
Erasmus in The City of Light
You get a place in the Erasmus Exchange Program and you are lucky enough to go to Paris. You prepare for the trip for five months and you really hope that you will feel special in this city (well, come on, it’s Paris!). Then you arrive there, but the feeling that you were waiting for doesn’t come. You are worried and you repeat to yourself, “Maia, it’s Paris, feel something!”, but you don’t. And then there is this ordinary day when you go out from the apartment, and probably you are on the way to your university; you feel very comfortable in your shoes; you have your walkman; you have some plans for the evening; you look on the pavement, look around, look in the sky; you take a deep breath; you smile; and you realize that you love Paris…Read more >>

How much do we cost?
After entering the Stockholm School of Economics in Riga for the first time to take the admission tests, you felt thrilled and tried to imagine how it would be like to study at this School. By accident your wish to get here came true and you found yourself sitting in the Soros auditorium wondering about the new challenges that are waiting for you – exams, reports, presentations, and etc.
Studies at SSE Riga After Other Universities
Most probably all of us know what the segmentation is. Have you ever thought what the result would be, if we tried to somehow segment SSE Riga community? Of course we could talk about the traditional segments – Lithuanians, Latvians, Estonians, Russians, and, say, Exchange students. Or we could differentiate guys and girls..or locals and foreigners..or so-called ‘top performers’ and the ‘ordinary’ ones..or something else.Read more >>

Word Online Debate Championship
The Case
This is about how we advanced to the point of winning in the first ever World Online Debating Championship. A team of SSE Rigans with a distinctive team name "Lithuania" decided to spend time arguing about and crafting arguments on such topics as freedom of speech, economics, law, and how to bring all the members to one Skype conversation. Here is how Mc Rapolas, Mr Balsiukas, Sir Arvydas Ž, señor Račas, and myself brought the trophy for the Debate Society.Read more >>
EBP Challenge
Nearly a month ago it seemed that for more than two weeks SSE Riga magically transformed into a market as each of 30 Year 1 teams tried to deliver their best in annual EBP Challenge in order to win one of the four prizes and, of course, earn some money.
Although I cannot compare this year to the last year’s challenge, to my mind Year 1 was very innovative in their ideas and development of their product.Read more >>
A month in a sandwich-country
Simona, Modestas, Anna, Viktorija, Kadi and Madli
Instead of mandatory internship, six of us (Modestas, Simona, Viktorija, Anna, Madli and Kadi) were brave enough and decided to go to Denmark and spend a month in one of the windiest and the most expensive country in Europe. Nevertheless, we had loads of fun and here is a small summary of it.Read more >>
