ChannelFluffy Episode 3: Banana (A.K.A the core subject you don’t like) Revolution! (Anita)
No, you didn’t read it wrong and I’m not drunk. It’s banana revolution. I become a bunch of bananas. To avoid spoilers, I better stop my introduction here and let you watch the video. To be honest, I found uni is much more challenging than high school. We all know what we are going to […] -
The Trials and Tribulations of Take Home Exams (Kat)
Here’s one for all my fellow humanities students… So, you’ve got a take home exam. Ok, you think. I can do this. I’ve got plenty of time to write these four research reports each worth 50% of my overall grades. No sweat! SWOTVAC (study without teaching vacation) starts and you’re feeling good; you’ve chosen topics, started your […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2017/06/01/the-trials-and-tribulations-of-take-home-exams-kat

5 Things You Might Not Expect About Starting Uni…(Kat)
1: You’ll find yourself making a lot of Harry Potter references… Just this week on a walk through the Old Quad (which definitely looks like Hogwarts), I overheard heated discussion on whether Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff are the better house. Seriously. Since starting uni, I’ve received a wax sealed Hogwarts letter (about time if you ask me), […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2017/05/06/5-things-you-might-not-expect-about-starting-uni-kat

Computer Science @ Unimelb (Raphael)
Hi everyone, hope exams are going well for you all! For anyone interested in it, I thought I’d make a post to reflect on my study of Computer Science this year at Uni. It’s an area that really interests me and that I’ve really enjoyed learning about this year. A core part of Computer Science is […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2016/11/06/computer-science-unimelb-raphael

My promises for Semester two (Raphael)
Hi everyone, and welcome to semester two! The second half of the University year starts today, and we’re all revving up for a new timetable and new subjects that we will study for the next 12 weeks. I’ve been looking forward to this new start for a while now, ever since I got a bit […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2016/07/25/my-promises-for-semester-two-raphael

Growing Up Exam (Aimee)
Hello there, my readery friends! You look like a combination of bone-dead tired and euphorically-expectant. Could it be because it’s nearly holidays? How did I guess? Just call me psychic… While you’ve been out there doing all the things that blog-readers usually do, I (and my poor fellow first years) have entered Swot Vac. […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2016/06/05/growing-up-exam-aimee

Bear Down
Week 12 everybody! Back in middle/high school, I’m already kicking back in class, watching a movie as part of the last subject class of the school year, saying farewells to those moving away early. Ever since Year 12 though, I learnt that the last week of teaching is just the calm before the storm. -
With a Little Help from My Friends
Studying as a Jaffy first-year student is not easy. From the expectations to listen and understand most, if not all the lectures, the assignments that you have to hand in before its due (and the notion that you’re still working on it creeping up to you everyday until you hand it in), and the readings/problem booklet/quizzes […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2016/05/10/with-a-little-help-from-my-friends

Too Close for Comfort
As I sit in the MSLC, shaking but relieved, I want to reflect on what, just, happened.blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2016/04/26/too-close-for-comfort

Intermission (Eleanor)
You’ve survived half of your first semester at university! Pat on the back and a high-five for getting through so far- because wow, is it different from high school. No one telling you to hand in homework. No one telling you to be on time. No lockers, no backpacks, no uniform. At first this seemed like […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2016/04/25/intermission-eleanor
