I met the most beautiful man on the train yesterday. (Victoria)
If Simone feels bad for not blogging in a week I can’t imagine what she thinks of me! I promise I’ve legitimately busy or away from computers. I’m currently in the middle of packing up my entire bedroom in preparation for the big move this weekend. I still have to organise exactly what day I’m […] -
'Nothing was to be lost by beginning at the beginning' (Simone)
Greetings to all! Welcome to my very first blog post! Just as Briony Tallis in one of my favourite novels, McEwan’s Atonement, declares, there is indeed nothing to be lost by beginning at the beginning – so who am I?! I’m a city gal who lives in the inner Eastern suburbs of Melbourne, loves books […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2013/02/08/nothing-was-to-be-lost-by-beginning-at-the-beginning

I can't laugh because I'm still too sore from bootcamp. (Victoria)
I had a long few days at Destination Melbourne, but I had such a blast! As fun as the intense, exhaustion fuelled camp was my memories are now shadowed by my tear-filled trip home. What should’ve been a simple journey to Southern Cross for my train turn into an hour and a half-long epic trek […] -
Drawing to a close.. (Benjamin)
Heya people! It’s been a while, I know. Essentially the reason why I have not posted recently is due to the fact that I have been pretty busy, finishing off those last pesky assignments, and other fun* things. I also realise I have used this excuse a lot. Ah well 😀 I guess that’s the […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2012/10/18/drawing-to-a-close-benjamin

Serendipity (Benjamin)
∑±FOIHREQ ≥∞ !!! Sorry, you just startled me right there by clicking on that link and opening this blog. I wasn’t quite ready for you yet as I was putting the finishing touches to a couple of things. But anyway, hey! I’m Ben’s brain, nice to meet you too. When I’m not busy thinking of […] -
Student elections, major dilemmas and the long awaited break (Adeshola)
We’re more than half way through second semester. In fact, eight weeks in and the scary thought that second year looms upon us not too far in the distance has popped up. It’s been awhile since I last posted, as Uni has been quite hectic lately. Let me fill you in with what has been […] -
Me :) (Monique)
Hi everyone, I haven’t posted in a while because I have three 1000 word essays due on the 14th of September, as you probably guess, I’m thrilled :’(. I’m going to bring a serious tone to this post, this was really hard for me to write and I debated with myself whether or not to […] -
A week called Prosh… (Adeshola)
Last Monday morning at 10am I was dressed as a robot and marching into North Court of Union House. This is not how my Monday mornings usually begin, but this was Prosh Week. Let me explain for those of you who haven’t heard of Prosh Week (where have you been?) or didn’t have their lectures […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2012/08/27/a-week-called-prosh-adeshola

Musings of a First Year University Student (Benjamin)
Hello there! How are things everyone? Well, Semester Two has well and truly begun with assignments, tests and study galore, which is rather frustrating seeing as the Olympics are on. True, the reruns are on the tele at Union House but I haven’t really had the time. Good to know that the MX doesn’t have […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2012/08/11/musings-of-a-first-year-university-student-benjamin

Sickness, Greek Gods and Camp, oh my! (Monique)
Hi! So I said I’d try to post once every two weeks, but then winter term started, and as everyone knows, in winter everyone becomes an infectious disease machine. I literally have not had one lecture or class go by, without someone sneezing or coughing (admittedly most of the time it was me 😛 one […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2012/08/11/sickness-greek-gods-and-camp-oh-my-monique
