It's Madeline, It's Madeline (Madeleine Lily)
Hello friends! I hope you all got the reference to the cartoon show, circa 1990. If not, here is a picture of her looking adorable as always, and my condolences for your depleted childhood! So “Madeline” and I share the same name, if you didn’t already figure, but that’s about the extent of our similarities.

Being Fashionably Late (Nicole)
Hi to anyone reading this! Appreciate the time you spare to read my intro post 🙂 I know I’m terribly late in doing this introduction blog post but hey what can I say? It’s fashionable to be late. Nah just kidding. I was late to a lecture the other day in Old Arts and you […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2014/09/09/being-fashionably-late-nicole

Confessions of a home bird (Tanika)
It’s one of those nights. A light drizzle, a little Diana Krall and I find myself in dire need of a dry martini and good conversation. To my dismay, whilst my mind fantasizes about the soft, sultry ambiance of a jazz bar somewhere in downtown Dubai, my body sits down to a long night of […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2014/09/08/confessions-of-a-home-bird-tanika

Hit the road MSTs, don't you come around no more (Celyn)
It has been two weeks of assessments and assignments since my last post, and I’m glad to say that I’m still alive! Of course, after the horrendous period of collective panic, last-minute cramming and just general anxiousness; university doesn’t stop and say “Hey, you look all tired out from those assessments. Perhaps I should ease […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2014/09/07/hit-the-road-msts-dont-you-come-around-no-more-celyn

Real Writing (Johanna – Mia)
I don’t know what to write. No, really – I don’t. Not because I have no words to say, but rather because I have way too many. Too many feelings kept bottled up inside with no way out. For a self-professed writer, that’s a pretty pathetic way to go. When I was a little girl, […] -
Keep Smelling The Bacon (JaKe)
I Smell Bacon…….. Must be the smell of a new blog! ‘Allo there chaps! Whilst many people far and wide yell from the highest of mountains and lowest of sinking holes, “Jake”, I often parade myself on the internet as “Flavatheburrito”, or, if I’m felling especially regal, “Charles Huntingon” becomes my adopted personality. Take […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2014/09/05/keep-smelling-the-bacon-jake

Life's Small Ironies (Yan)
This may be my first year at university, but last year when I still lived in Sydney I visited the University of Sydney a lot because, well, I was a nerd like that. One time, I was there for students election week. There were campaigners everywhere and I just thought they were just so annoying, […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2014/09/04/lifes-small-ironies-yan

Top 5 Field Guide to Surviving Uni (Johanna – Mia)
Hello everyone! Mia here. So, since my first blog was embarrassingly short, let’s hope this one is a bit longer (and more informative). I know, I know. I said last week that I’d write about combating procrastination. But I’ve just managed to find my feet, what with juggling around studies, looking for a flat closer […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2014/09/04/top-5-field-guide-to-surviving-uni-johanna-mia

Smells Like TEAM Spirit (Phoebe)
This week has been a bit of a battle – I’ve had assignments, essay drafts, blog entries (for my cultural studies class) and the most dreaded of all – GROUP PRESENTATION!! DUN-DUN-DUUUUUUN! I’ve never really enjoyed group tasks, especially in high school. It was always so difficult for everyone to agree or even compromise. On […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2014/09/04/smells-like-team-spirit-phoebe

50 Shades of First Year (Tanika)
I’d love to start this off with something unbelievably witty but alas, I’m a science student (Just kidding! being hilarious is in our genes) There’s something about being a blogger that brings about the pressure of making your online presence seem like the bomb dot com, but considering the only pressure I seem to be […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2014/09/02/50-shades-of-first-year-tanika
