Sunday, 9 August is National Women's Day, and because it falls on a Sunday this year, we get a bonus public holiday on Monday, 10 August. Long weekend? Don't mind if we do. 🙌
Whether you’re smashing your degree, running a side hustle, or just surviving Sem 2 like an absolute legend, this weekend is about celebrating the women doing it all at The Fields.
Here’s how to make the most of it:
💅 Have a self-care Sunday.: Face masks, playlist on shuffle, phone on airplane mode. You deserve a proper reset before the week ahead.
📸 Shout out a woman who inspires you. Your res bestie, your mom, your favourite lecturer — tag her, thank her, tell her she’s a legend.
☕ Go on a girls’ brunch. Hatfield has no shortage of cute spots for a long, slow brunch with your favourite people.
📚 Support women-led businesses. From local bakers to small stalls at Hatfield Square, spend your rands where they count this Women’s Month.
🎉 Host a res hangout. Snacks, playlist, good company — turn your apartment into the spot everyone wants to be at.
However you choose to spend your long weekend, remember: you don’t need a permission slip to celebrate yourself. You’re out here studying, hustling, and holding it down in Hatfield — that’s boss energy, every single day. 💪
