Solitary Freedom and How to Fix it.
Soooooooooo. I recently turned 18 and gained the ability to make hotel bookings without an adult, get my P plates, visiting the bottle-o and even more things that I am still discovering… I started uni this year. Well… duh. If I didn’t then I wouldn’t be writing this article but this statement holds more meaning […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2025/04/16/solitary-freedom-and-how-to-fix-it

MST (mid-semester testimony)
I told myself I’d get to writing a blog as soon as I could, only to be swept off my feet by all the things that made themselves more important than this. Even now, I’m writing from in-between MSTs, assignment due dates, and personal commitments. It feels like high school all over again, but way […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2025/04/10/mst-mid-semester-testimony

Talk I had with a friend on a cold Tuesday night in Autumn
Hi my name is Mary. I’m studying a Bachelor of Design, majoring in Architecture. Yes, I’ve heard everybody and their mother’s hot take on the work load for the major. What can I tell you about myself? Should we do an icebreaker? Fun facts about me ! xD !!! – I play bass guitar in […] -
Week five and my first post is live!
Can you believe we’re already one month into uni? The time flies by… I only finally noticed how much our lives were transforming after high school, once ATAR results came out and all the crucial decisions had to be confirmed, and then in completing all the admin work that followed. This transition to uni involves […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2025/04/02/week-five-and-my-first-post-is-live

Anticipating Assessments and Why Nihilism is Important
It’s rare for me to dip my toes into philosophy so for all those philosophical purists out there, excuse my use of “nihilism” if it is used poorly. There is nothing less nerve-wracking, sweat-inducing, adrenaline-producing, heart-pounding of a moment than waiting for the final minutes to tick down before you flip open the first page […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2025/03/29/anticipating-assessments-and-why-nihilism-is-important

INTRO10001
The trains near my house never arrive on time… but this post will. Between begging for public transport to arrive and finding a classroom tucked away in the most isolated corridor, I certainly could say that there were times in life when things were more straightforward. Although – to be entirely fair – no one […] -

Doing Absolutely Nothing and Everything Else
time skips through my winter hols *A number of the events mentioned were spread out over a couple of months, but I’m only now putting pen to metaphorical paper; thoughts to coherent words. They’re just dated as I’ve written them. It feels nice to accumulate a collection of writings before publishing anything. 8/6You know it’s […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2024/07/06/doing-absolutely-nothing-and-everything-else

Autumn check in
Autumn on campus is so pretty! Of course I know leaves come from trees but it seems like it’s always been leaves on tree -> leaves on ground. I don’t know how this is the first time I’ve ever seen a soft rain of leaves. I also never knew vines could turn red. Red blooms over […]
