  1. And so it begins…(Emily)

    Ah o-week. A time to get yourself familiar with the large campus that is Melbourne Uni, meet new people and of course attend some of the many sessions to help ease you into uni life. A time to reunite with your highschool buddies and where South Lawn is brought to life with the always popular […]

  2. The End (Simone)

    Nearly a year has flown by since I began writing on here – freaky stuff. I haven’t really come to terms with being a ‘second year’ uni student yet! I think 2013 was the fastest year of my life! But, yet, a really good one. Life just keeps moving, doesn’t? I feel like we’re always […]

  3. I suppose this is my last chance to post as a first year (Victoria)

    The dux of my year group was a psuedo-friend of mine who scored something like 96.3. Every year at our presentation night the previous dux makes a speech about school and uni or work or whatever so this year was his turn. People walked out. It’s enough that he spoke for twenty-two minutes in his […]

  4. RE: A little letter to the [past] and beyond (Simone)

    Back at the beginning of the year I wrote this cute (cute? Strange? You decide!) blog-letter to my future self. Here’s a link to it – A little letter to the future and beyond (Simone) – (I’m going to post it underneath anyway). So, as promised, here is my reply 🙂 Don’t worry, this isn’t going to […]

  5. 23 things I've learnt in 2013 (Simone)

    I write to you on my official last day of university for 2013. There are exams, essays, references, stress-outs, and all-nighters still to come over SWAT-VAC and beyond, of course. But I still feel like today is a momentous day, my last day of going to classes as a first year UniMelb student. Wow. Time […]

  6. I'm nearly a third of the way through my degree and that terrifies me quite a bit. (Victoria)

    I read a lot of fanfiction. Like, a lot. Like at least six since lunchtime. I’ve been reading it for years and I’ve developed such perfect headcanons for my ships that I know exactly what to look for to make me happy. One of my favourites is academia!Merthur. Merlin and Arthur meet through the university […]

  7. #checkoutchicklyf (Stealing blogs from my media subject!) (Simone)

    I’ve been feeling guilty about not writing here for a bit! But essays, one after the other after the other, are pretty much plaguing me. No exaggeration. In the span of 9 weeks, I’ve had 7 essays to write – and no less than 3 rounds of colds! So it has been quite a crazy […]

  8. Why do I feel like half my posts on here are about procrastinating from essays? (Victoria)

    So I’ve 800/2000 drafted words for an essay due Friday and nothing on the 3200 words due next week yet I’m sitting in the library watching Supernatural and writing this. But okay, I’ll spin this one into something more productive So, one of the requirements for Arts is to take an Arts Foundation subject. Foundations are […]

  9. When university essay feedback freaks you out (Simone)

    This afternoon I had one of those oh-dear-god-I-fail-at-life-give-me-chocolate-icecream-straight-from-the-tub moments after getting an essay back. My sister and I call them “Sharon-sobs”, after Sharon’s constant cries throughout the Kath and Kim series. It’s not the best example of it, but here’s a link to a short Youtube clip in case you don’t know what that looks like (at 0.20 […]

  10. Had a ball! Kudos, M-ASS (Simone)

    I would like to start this blog by acknowledging that, since I wrote my last post, I have been proved wrong on several accounts. To start with: I applaud Melbourne Arts students for their fabulous costumes at the Arts Bookworm Ball. They were crazy, out-there, and overall, just plainly awesome. From a table full of Madeleine’s […]
