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 […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2013/03/29/i-have-slipped-entirely-back-into-old-habits-victoria

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 […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2013/03/25/missing-my-awful-peanut-butter-sandwiches-simone

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 […] -
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 […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2013/03/15/i-have-cried-too-much-in-public-recently

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 […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2013/03/08/the-official-week-kiryll

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 […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2013/03/04/o-wightey-here-we-are-kiryll

I think someone must be having a party down here because I don't recognise anyone. (Victoria)
The joys me sharing a building with hundreds of strangers. Really, living with strangers has been great so far. I’ve met so many lovely people from countries and universities I would never have had a chance to. I also had the opportunity to spend two glorious hours watching Nickelodeon yesterday. Although, there’s this one guy […] -
"And my dad paints the house different colours!" (Victoria)
Tomorrow I’m moving, so today I decided to spend the day doing things I love. Then I realised that I a) still have some packing to do b) have packed up my books and movies so I can’t use them and c) am far too pathetically sentimental for the music etc I can listen to to […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2013/02/23/and-my-dad-paints-the-house-different-colours

Musings of Arky, Thalia, the tempest outside and Hazel Grace (Simone)
It’s pouring with rain as I write this; the clouds outside are heavy and dark and spooky – ahh, and lots of lightning too!! My desk has a metre wide, ceiling-to-floor window right next to it that gives me some outlook into the world whilst on Facebook studying, and today it is covered in droplets of water. […] -
An Ode to Friendship (Kiryll)
“Hey! It’s been a long time! How is uni going? Sucks we are so far away now. Monash and Melbourne… What are you doing on Friday? Oh okay, are they from Monash? Okay, no problem. We’ll catch up some other time, then. Have fun on Friday! “ It has been reported that many high-school friendships […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2013/02/20/an-ode-to-friendship-kiryll
