  1. Remember that time I had a 2000 word essay due in three (full uni) days and have only opened a possibly useful website? (Victoria)

    I wish Criminological texts weren’t so dull. I mean, the content can be pretty interesting and I actually liked doing my last assessment but now the thought of reading a good handful of academic crim texts makes me wanna stay in bed forever. This is probably why I stay in my pjs all day every […]

  2. Miranda Hart – my hero! – I dedicate this post to you. (Simone)

    I’ve been inspired to write this type of post for a while now, but I must admit that I wasn’t entirely sure whether I wanted to admit to the world that I sometimes find myself in very awkward situations. It’s no surprise that film ‘Bridget Jones’ Diary’ and UK series ‘Miranda’ are two of my […]

  3. I wanted to quote the Eulogy Song but none of the best lines were appropriate. (Victoria)

    Yes, I was one of those people who loved the Chasers’ Eulogy Song. I bring this up in light of the whole UMSU/Thatcher celebration debacle. For those who don’t know what’s going on you can read the UMSU statement here and a Farrago piece on the matter here, but basically UMSU put forward a motion to […]

  4. Sitting on the floor of the Spot eating a cold croissant and a hot coffee. (Victoria)

    Call me crazy but I actually prefer my coffee cold. Well, cool. I’m not even talking iced coffee I just like all my coffee with mostly milk. It’s more refreshing than a hot drink.  Also, everyone knows croissants are better hot and buttery but I cbf giving instruction to the cafe so it’s really my […]

  5. Curing those post-holiday, Sunday night blues (Simone)

    It seems I haven’t written for a while again! To get to where I am sitting now, you must fast forward me from: two blissful 12pm Saturday morning sleep-ins, a brief Autumn holiday with my family up to Hepburn/Daylesford, one half-finished Power assignment, a signed, sealed (and yet to be delivered) poem and notes (hallelujah! Always […]

  6. I have slipped entirely back into old habits. (Victoria)

    I’ve gone home for the Easter Break and it’s almost like I’ never left. I mean Mum’s rearranged rooms and now there’s my sister’s super comfy double bed in place of my back-breaking single. What I mean is, I’m sitting in bed, in my old bedroom, switching between studying and internetting while fighting off a […]

  7. Missing my awful peanut-butter sandwiches (Simone)

    At last, life at uni is starting to feel a bit more normal. It’s taken nearly a month, but maybe that’s only what I should have expected for such a big change! I miss highschool more than I thought I would. Does anyone feel the same? When you’re at school, you hate being so confined […]

  8. There is a reason I take lecture notes by hand. (Victoria)

    Yesterday after getting in late to my Reason lecture we had a twenty minute talk on how to use the library directory etc. and I though there’s no harm in me turning on my laptop until the actual lecture starts, right? Wrong. I spent the entire lecture gossiping with an old friend on Facebook about boys […]

  9. How to study for psych (and eat chocolate) – (Simone)

    There is much to celebrate when one has successfully reviewed a lecture on the LMS for Mind, Brain and Behaviour 1 before the actual lecture has occurred! Maybe this sounds a little sad, or a little nerdy, I’m not sure. All I do know is, when you’ve spent a couple of hours with your non-matching […]

  10. I have cried too much in public recently. (Victoria)

    Sometimes events and situations nd budding friendships don’t turn out how you want them to. You lay in bed at night fantasizing about all these new friends you’re making and all the fun you’ll have together. Then you end up walking through the city in the wee hours of the morning in tears. Again. And […]
