The Ghost of Semester Past (Hiruni)
Hello to everyone whom I have the pleasure to call my first readers! In true first blog post fashion, an introduction of sorts is required before I dispense the sagely wisdom of one who has gone through the turmoils of Semester 1 of their first year at Uni. My name is Hiruni and being a […]

Introduction Post (Yan)
The fact that I hate introductions seems to be a reoccurring theme in my life. Wednesday night, I was at the Welfare Union House sleep-in, and as an ice breaker one of the things that the organisers wanted us to do was the ‘two truths one lie’ thing. For a crowd as small as we […]

And introducing… (Celyn)
Celyn [sah-leen] n. noun A first-year science student; part-time pharmacy assistant/dispensary technician and part-time student procrastinator. Likes soup way too much. As you can gather, I’m one of the new bloggers! I’m quite the awkward one when it comes to introductions so I’ll make this short and sweet: Chemistry is the bane of my life (and […]

The Most Creative Title Ever aka My First Post Wohoo! (Johanna – Mia)
WHOO! My first post! I’m so excited, honoured and frankly, a bit nervous. But before anything else, I would just like to say: (drum-roll please) HELLO WORLD! My name is Johanna, but apparently I’ve got a namesake blogger under “Back for Seconds” (hello other Johanna!), so I’ll go by my nickname of Mia instead. And […]

'Ello There Mate! (Phoebe)
This is my first blog post and as you might be able to gather, I’m a little nervous. I find it easy to communicate and connect with people I know but the idea that my thoughts and feelings are being read by many is a little daunting; the mind, after all, is our most private […]

When life hands you lemons (Adi)
It’s been five weeks into uni and needless to say the assignments have been flowing in: like why do essays insist on not writing themselves? Not to say that I’m not adoring my subjects because I actually am, they have fortunately met my expectations – thank goodness, well except my breadth subject but that’s a […]

Kenya is like the best country ever (Adi)
I wrote a creative piece for the Globe magazine, a weekly publication at my College and I thought I’d post it here. Enjoy! Our time as undergrads is undeniably a coming of age odyssey that roughly lasts three years. Effectively a stretch where we experience life hence our attempt at maturity. We have the freedom […]

I can't think of a title (Adi)
The flu finally caught up with me so the diligent tone I hope to set this semester has taken a bit of a back seat. Seeing as the bug is going around it was only a matter of time until it caught up with me. It’s my third week into College and all I can […]

Avoiding the furry of an arduous housemate (Adi)
I’m back in Melbourne and the weather isn’t as horrible as I thought it would be! Hah, I lie. But the winter sun does make such a pleasant difference when having to brace the disheartening weather. I leave the comforts of my bedroom only when I need to as winter and I just don’t mix. […]

Home then back again, kapow! (Juliet)
The holidays are nearly over and the slog begins again. Or so I whine. It has been a lovely winter break and I must admit I have mixed emotions about the semester ahead. I’m so used to waking up late in the morning with the sun streaming-in through the blinds in my old bedroom, with […]
