I can’t stress this enough
Hunched upon my bed (terrible posture) at 10:41 p.m. in the night, I realized what I want to write about. Stress. I’d like to think that I’m good at managing stress. But others refuse to agree. It’s debatable, okay? Life is an amalgamation of various sources of stress. I can’t explain how, but everything […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2019/09/19/i-cant-stress-this-enough

Are you that person?
Do you talk in your tutorials or answer questions in lectures? Judging from my recent experience across Sociology, Spanish and other Arts subjects I would say the overwhelming response would be no.

Potato says hi!
I realized I’ve been staring at my laptop screen for a good 5 minutes wondering how to throw my introduction at you. Anyways, call me Loey (say low-ee). ٩(◕‿◕)۶ My life’s pretty ordinary. Picture a broke international student. I’m pursuing Master of Global Media Communication here at UniMelb, and Semester 1 […] -
