H1 for Happiness
Exams are around the corner, taunting me with the amount of readings I skipped. Yesterday as the exam timetables came out, I realised I was screwed. I thought I was clever for picking subjects where the end-of-semester assessments were an essay or even a take home exam, leaving me with only one real examination. I […] -
Back to studies
Break is over and lectures are back. I am giving them a miss this week. I spend way too much time on zoom. Discovered last week that I can save time by not watching the same lecture thrice 🤦♀️ Trying to study smart and not just hard 😎 Cat isn’t missing management too much. Last […] -
How does ‘Zoom university’ affect our test scores
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, face to face lectures have become unachievable. In order to handle this unprecedented crisis, ‘Zoom University’ is deemed to be currently the only viable option we have that allows students to continue their education without the threat of COVID-19. The University of Melbourne is undoubtedly no exemption. Ever since March, […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2020/10/11/how-does-zoom-university-affect-our-test-scores

Just as expected
Not getting much done this week. But knew that already. Caught up on all the 😴 I missed out on and having reduced my study load, got a lot of time to enjoy life and mull over stuff. Not what regular students are expected to do! University is supposed to be the time where you […] -
Coming Home
Lectures, Orientation Week, and student theatre – it’s was all online. It’s 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 […] -
It’s the climb
I have more than 6,500 words to write over the next six weeks, and probably like 150,000 words to read to inform my writing, and I’ve written about 10, and read approximately 3,000 🥳 🥳 Love !! The prospect of mid-semester break (which isn’t even mid-semester break, more like ¾-semester break, so pls, UniMelb, […] -
Procrastination and Lack of Motivation: Killers of Students
I have a lot of work to do. I have three assessments due in the coming days and I am nowhere near done. Nevertheless, in my stress I decided that this is such a #UniMoment and what better way to document it for everyone to learn from than writing a blog post. But also I’m […] -
My ‘personal’ University of Melbourne
It’s autumn in Melbourne in the Southern Hemisphere in May. The golden leaves fall slowly from the trees like butterflies, scattered on both sides of the road. Probably because of the epidemic, the campus is surprisingly quiet. I gently stepped across the fallen leaves, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, leaving deep and shallow footprints. […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2020/09/02/my-personal-university-of-melbourne

My First Presentation!
A lot’s been going on at Uni, even though I don’t attend the campus. Virtual is easier to manage because I don’t have to travel. Never been the one to dress extra special to classes, but attending workshops in PJs is unbeatable. I had a demo of my first presentation this evening and it wasn’t […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2020/09/01/my-first-presentation

Best places to study in SWOTVAC
I have discovered that the best time to be in the library is on holidays – all I currently see is a barren wasteland of empty chairs and the occasional person hiding behind a laptop. This is completely the opposite to the SWOTVAC library experience were where hunting for chairs is the norm and there […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2019/12/02/best-places-to-study-in-swotvac
