Demi Bartels <\/span><\/p><\/figcaption><\/figure>

She was very enthusiastic at the idea of featuring on I AM. \u201cSure, why not?\u201d said Demi. Demi Bartels is 19. A proud Rotterdam native, she is studying IBCoM and is currently completing her first year.<\/p>\n

Style<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI must say this, I adore sparkles. That\u2019s what I look for in my clothes. I wouldn\u2019t say I have a very defined style, but some things stand out. For example, I love comfortable clothing, like this baby blue vest I\u2019m wearing today. It\u2019s chilled and I like that. I mostly wear black. Well, I\u2019m not today, but I usually do. Again, I like wearing lots of glitter. I have a lot of shirts and skirts with a sparkly detailing on them. I love those items, but I don\u2019t wear them every day because I don\u2019t want to be too over the top. My go-to item has to be a pair of black jeans or a glitter top and I love black boots as well. I don\u2019t have a style icon and I don\u2019t follow trends. I guess I do it subconsciously when I shop. I mean stores already select from the current trends and you can see the same kinds of clothes in the various stores. But, honestly, I don\u2019t care about clothes that much.\u201d<\/p>\n

Theatre<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSomething that\u2019s really part of me is theatre. I love being in the spotlight. I like the creativity involved, acting different roles and expressing different opinions. Acting is something that gives me joy. At secondary school, I was part of a theatre group for eight years. I stopped acting when I cane to university, but it\u2019s definitely something I want to pick up again.\u00a0 There are several upcoming projects that will enable me to get involved in theatre again, so I\u2019m following them really closely. It\u2019s really exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n

SSR<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a member of the SSR-Rotterdam student association, which is a big part of my life. Being part of it gives my student life a good balance between the more international side which I get through my studies and the more \u2018Dutch\u2019 side which is SSR. I love the international environment of IBCoM and EUR in general, though I know the majority of the people I meet there will leave the city or the country at some point. Through the association, I get to meet people from different studies and faculties. It\u2019s great for networking as well. I was born and raised in Rotterdam and I enjoy being involved in the city. SSR allows me to do that through voluntary work and it\u2019s also great fun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t
