The NOT so Secret Life of NOVA’s Students

As high school students, we find ourselves caught in an age between irresponsibility and maturity. We survive off the ecstasy of freedom: the late-night parties, the carefreeness, and the potential for trouble. The only problem with this freedom: the responsibility that comes with it.

School is our responsibility. We have homework, deadlines, tests, finals, community service, after-school activities, and much more. After 5 ruthless days of work and responsibility we all long for a much deserved break from the constant stress. Our break: The weekend. We use it wisely. We use it well. We go wild.

Letting loose on the weekends in Skopje is tremendously easy. There is always a club, party, or concert going on. Our main clubs: Colosseum, Havana, and Hard Rock. These places also hold the majority of concerts, but Saem contributes to this as well, with spacious concert halls to jump, dance, and sing in. We even have music festivals such as the annual Taksirat. Another portion of late nights are spent in bars and cafes. Most of us rent out a café or bar for our birthday parties or reserve a table on a normal night out with friends. Skopje’s cafes are dispersed throughout the entire city, making diversity a simple factor in our lifestyles.

NOVA’s high school students know how to let loose on weekends. We know how to unwind, and we do so in style. We drop our bags, dress up, and let our hair down, and with a drink in hand we relax and enjoy our two well deserved nights of freedom.
