What next?
My last exam is tomorrow and then I’ll no longer be a doe-eyed fresher 𤩠Thought I’ll write my last post while I am still technically a first year. So, it’s been an amazing experience here, working with some amazing students and learning from such great professors…. yeah, now it’s sounding like a graduation speech. […] -
Pass or …
Feels kinda weird with no one else posting anything, but I’ll do it anyways. Results haven’t been declared yet. I suppose it’s this week, not quite sure that I am out of the woods š¤ The Career Bootcamp is half way through and the things I am learning are totally amazing. Also makes me realize […] -
Study another day
With no lectures and tutorials this week, I am spending most of my time at the Career and Employability department (virtually, of course), picking their brains on resumes, jobs and internships. The number of times I have been there, I am sure Iāll get a job as their āOfficial Doorstopperā, if nothing else š Not […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2020/11/04/study-another-day

Formula H1 Racing
I would have loved to have been a Formula 1 racing car driver, leaning into those curves around the sharp bends in the track and speeding along the straights. Instead, I became a lawyer and then a teacher. Iāve had a number of different jobs, sometimes after one contract ends, I feel like calling out […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2020/11/03/formula-h1-racing

Coming Home
Lectures, Orientation Week, and student theatre ā itās was all online. Itās like the whole world took a massive Swot Vac and we had to learn the basics again. Everything was transported online, and almost overnight our same-same lives became very different. Studying at my new virtual learning hub – The University of Melbourne, feels […] -
Not my first Rodeo
This weekās been a rollercoaster – emotionally, academically and of course, me being me, monetarily 𤣠Made some tough calls, quite literally 𤪠and had some setbacks but so far, no regrets. Not really my first time handling losses in life. Withdrew from subjects that I found too tough, and that means Cat will now […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2020/09/24/not-my-first-rodeo

Dear Diary, here’s my resume boosters
Hey hey everyone! Sorry, it has been so long since my last post. Right now my life is like a cauldron and its brewing with 3 assignments per week, 20 contact hours and 12 hours of part-time work. Nevertheless, I’m here (finally) to discuss what I do in my spare time. But beware, this is […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2019/08/26/dear-diary-heres-my-resume-boosters

I’m not a journalist
Hello sweet potatoes! Semester 2 has officially begun (three weeks ago, actually). Woo! I’m doing my Masters in Global Media Communication and my entire family and extended relatives believe I’m gonna be a journalist one day and appear on TV shows. Wha- I don’t try to correct them anymore. My family has zero idea about […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2019/08/20/im-not-a-journalist

Feeling Positive
After receiving my results for Semester 1 a few weeks ago I guess I can officially claim that āI am an Arts studentā! This semester I will be going down to three (from the normal four) subjects in order to be able to work and study at the same time. I am trying my best […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2019/08/01/feeling-positive-nicole

Screenwriting: the vaguest, most obscure course at the University of Melbourne
Here it is folks, what you’ve all been waiting for – a guide to the most obscure course offered at the University of Melbourne! I wish I was joking. When people ask what I’m studying, the reactions all vary. Some think it’s awesome – some ask me what on Earth screenwriting actually is. No […]
