I don't think my thoughts are coherent enough for a title (Johanna – Mia)
I realized I haven’t posted anything this 2015, and January is almost over. First off, HAPPY NEW YEAR peeps! Okay, a month late, but hey, it’s still January, so that counts, right? Anyway, it’s the time of year again. VTAC results are out and Academic Advice Day has passed. To all those future UniMelb peeps […] -
Happy Homecoming? (Johanna – Mia)
After five months of being away from home, grueling assessments and my (admittedly laughable though semi-successful) attempts to not procrastinate, I am finally HOME! You know how the old adage goes. There is no place like home. And that’s very true, I realize that now. Yes, my first semester in Melbourne was lovely overall (minus […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2014/12/02/happy-homecoming-johanna-mia

Brace Yourself, Exams are Coming
Exams are upon us! But fear not, it will be over before you know it. I honestly feel a lot calmer for my university exams than I did this time last year, sitting my Year 12 exams. I just take each day as it comes, setting goals and rewarding myself afterwards. My best friend through […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2014/11/03/brace-yourself-exams-are-coming

But seriously, what's up with Melbourne's weather? (Yan)
I have a friend who’s working towards a 95% average. It’s pretty much the most admirable thing I’ve ever seen and I kind of wish I had her resolve because seriously, that would pretty much guarantee my spot at any university I want to go on exchange to. And my parents might finally stop being […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2014/10/27/but-seriously-whats-up-with-melbournes-weather

Leaving uni to stay overseas for a bit? Here are a few tips. (Hiruni)
The sun is shining, I have some Tim Tams beside me and it is the last day of classes for the semester. It really is wonderful to be back in Melbourne! I’ve had an enjoyable past few weeks in Sri Lanka and I’m not quite sure whether I want to return to the hectic mess […] -
Problems with Parental Pressure (Johanna – Mia)
Be forewarned. This is shaping up to be a very emo post, straight from the laptop of a very pressured, frazzled student. So. How do I deal with pressure? Answer is, not very well. And boy, the pressure is ON. Let’s see… There’s exams coming up in less than three weeks’ time, and I haven’t […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2014/10/16/problems-with-parental-pressure-johanna-mia

Greetings from Sri Lanka (Hiruni)
Hello to you all from sunny Colombo, Sri Lanka! It’s been about a week since I arrived here and I’ve had a great time so far. It’s been lovely to visit family and friends who I haven’t seen in so long and I’ve also gotten used to studying while away from uni. Although I planned […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2014/10/09/greetings-from-sri-lanka

Feeling stressed? Here's some handy helping hints (Phoebe)
So it’s been a while since my last post and there are two main reasons for that: 1. I have had TWO major essays due this week, both were incredibly draining and time consuming and 2. I have actually been quite sick this week. As a result, my stress levels have been running high. And […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2014/09/25/feeling-stressed-heres-some-handy-helping-hints-phoebe

Some Exciting News (Hiruni)
Hi everyone! As compensation for my lateness in posting, I thought I’d share some pretty exciting news with you all. I will be travelling to Sri Lanka next week due to family reasons and won’t be back for a couple weeks. While I’m excited to be blogging from the tropics, I did have to make […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2014/09/22/some-exciting-news

Procrastinate No More (Johanna – Mia)
So, it’s 7 pm on a Saturday night. So far, I have managed to accomplish the following: 1. Watch the first 10 minutes of a lecture capture. 2. Watch a rerun of BBC’s Merlin (insert Colin Morgan fan girl moment) for 42 minutes and 77 seconds on the internet. 3. Log back in to LMS.
