  1. EXAMSs… (Kiryll)

    Hi guys! As I was studying for these upcoming exams I realised a study technique that I should have been using that would have cut down revision by 40-50%. The figure isn’t  verified by actual research, but I really think it will work. Cramming works to an extent. Especially if one has a week to […]

  2. Before O-Week and after Y12, I set out some high goals to achieve this year in uni (Kiryll)

    To upend the cliff-hanger, I didn’t quite meet them. Because, what’s more comfortable: making reams of notes or watching The Matrix? Like a helium balloon, my élan fizzled out to trudge the smudged line between staying afloat and sinking in a hedonistic quicksand. Last week during a 3 hour break between lectures, I perched my […]

  3. A view from the streets (Kiryll)

    After a hiatus that saw me suspended from action and breaching every code of blogger practice, I have returned. One test done, one essay submitted to the black hole of Turnitin. Uni is certainly here to stay and its routine has ossified. From that, I decided to bypass the academic chronicles and spoke to my […]

  5. To Choose or Not to Choose? (Kiryll)

    Have you guys had the first doubts about your subject selections? Or are you extremely awed at the compatibility of your subjects? As a fictional reporter for “Are you satisfied @ UniMelb Press”, I had numerous chances to hear that some students really love theirs, some not so much, others unsure. There have even been […]

  6. The Official Week! (Kiryll)

    How was everyone’s first week? I spoke to a few friends and they have all really liked the start of uni. The official start, the lectures and tutorials, the LMS lecture slides and Echo recordings. I am sure all of us are loving the social uni aspect: there have been thousands of BBQs and even […]

  7. O-Wightey, Here We Are (Kiryll)

    Good evening! How is everybody resting after a week of absolute mayhem?! I sure was tired after what had been a 5 day marathon of people, smiles, people, rain, tents, South Lawns, queues and more people! My experience didn’t have pub crawls and compressed bodies jumping in unison at central locations in the CBD. But […]

  8. An Ode to Friendship (Kiryll)

We’ll catch up some other time, then.  Have fun on Friday! “ It has been reported that many high-school friendships […]

  9. Great Expectations (Kiryll)

    Charles Dickens takes on University  What are you expecting university to be like? What are you hoping this three year plus journey will bring? Right now, there are thousands of Y12 finishers including me who are going to board a starship to a whole new galaxy – UniLife 200Z3b. But I know that in just […]

  10. "For what it's worth" (Kiryll)

    Or the day I met Ron and found my self lost in University of Melbourne (The) It was a fine Thursday morning when I caught the 8:11 Flinders Street train to the city. After a big break from school and the commuting that was required to get there, it was a wistful journey as it reminded me […]
