The day my future was open (Raphael)
First of all, welcome back online everybody! We have been having a few technical difficulties here at First_Year@UniMelb but we’re glad to be back in functioning order. Hope to have more great posts for you soon! (Semester two has started, I’m sure there will be) I wanted to write a quick post today to acknowledge what […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2016/08/21/the-day-my-future-was-open-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.

UNIV10001: An introduction to University (Raphael)
So you’re sitting at home, half way through Year 12 (well done by the way) and reading this blog to see what awaits you in the light at the end of the tunnel which is next year. But what’s a tutorial, you may ask? Why are we talking about so many letters like “LMS” and “H2A”? […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2016/07/12/univ10001-an-introduction-to-university-raphael

Hello from the other side (Adele) (Raphael)
Hello everyone, do you still remember me? I’m very sorry that I haven’t posted for aggeeesssss but semester started to get crazy towards the end and things started to feel like the end of VCE all over again. Assignments were due, exams were looming (and happened) and I didn’t feel like I had the time […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2016/06/21/hello-from-the-other-side-adele-raphael

Learning Curves (Aimee)
Hi there, dear reader! How are you doing on this fine (oh, who am I kidding!) blizzard-like (!) winter morning? All good? Excellent! Shall we proceed? Since the day I was born… (I know this sounds like the start of a snore-inducing nostalgia rant, but bear with me!!) Ahem! Since the day I was born, […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2016/06/18/learning-curves-aimee

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. -
When Printers Attack! (Ode to Independence) [Aimee]
Hello my favourite reader pal! Today I want to talk to you about something all-important: independence. It’s a big word, isn’t it? Independence. In-dee-pen-dance. Have you ever noticed how when you say it slowly it sounds like a dance? As in: “I’m indepen-dancing!” (Get it? Indepen-dancing…? No? Okay…) Seriously though, once you get to uni, […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2016/05/22/when-printers-attack-ode-to-independence-aimee

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
