We're down to our second last week of Easter break! This issue includes a lot of content, so please be patient and read on! :> As the weather slowly gets warmer again, do consider taking some time for a walk outside to enjoy the greenery and clear blue skies! Speaking of which, why not join us at *Kit-Kat* next Thursday in Hyde Park? While the summer term may be the final term of the year for most of us, for others, this term marks their last term here at Imperial College. As per tradition, the 37th Executive Committee will be holding the annual *SingSoc Farewell Party* next month! Check out the post below for more details on how to RSVP. Excited to be involved in welcoming the next batch of freshers into the ICSS family? Sign-ups for *Team Sojourn 2019* are now open! More details can be found later in this issue. Know of someone in ICSS who has contributed immensely to the society? Give them the recognition they deserve by nominating them for* ICAAS' Most Outstanding Student Award*! Meanwhile, take a quick moment to acknowledge the brave people who are heavily invested in Marvel, Game of Thrones and Star Wars at the same time-- all those eras/sagas and ending in the same year! Your kaya-toast-loving secretary, Fu Yixuan *When your head hits the pillow tonight, remind yourself that you've done a good job. Be patient with yourself, and remember that big things are achieved not all at once, but one day at a time.* Content 1. Reminder: Kit-Kat <#m_6726496441485397595_1> 2.

While it isn’t free, more slots are usually available at short notice, and it is still much cheaper than a haircut at other establishments in London. Note that the Covent Garden outlet has closed, so slots are only available at Farringdon and Liverpool Street.
