  1. Remember that time I had a 2000 word essay due in three (full uni) days and have only opened a possibly useful website? (Victoria)

    I wish Criminological texts weren’t so dull. I mean, the content can be pretty interesting and I actually liked doing my last assessment but now the thought of reading a good handful of academic crim texts makes me wanna stay in bed forever. This is probably why I stay in my pjs all day every […]

  2. Miranda Hart – my hero! – I dedicate this post to you. (Simone)

    I’ve been inspired to write this type of post for a while now, but I must admit that I wasn’t entirely sure whether I wanted to admit to the world that I sometimes find myself in very awkward situations. It’s no surprise that film ‘Bridget Jones’ Diary’ and UK series ‘Miranda’ are two of my […]

  3. A view from the streets (Kiryll)

    After a hiatus that saw me suspended from action and breaching every code of blogger practice, I have returned. One test done, one essay submitted to the black hole of Turnitin. Uni is certainly here to stay and its routine has ossified. From that, I decided to bypass the academic chronicles and spoke to my […]

  4. I wanted to quote the Eulogy Song but none of the best lines were appropriate. (Victoria)

    Yes, I was one of those people who loved the Chasers’ Eulogy Song. I bring this up in light of the whole UMSU/Thatcher celebration debacle. For those who don’t know what’s going on you can read the UMSU statement here and a Farrago piece on the matter here, but basically UMSU put forward a motion to […]

  5. Sitting on the floor of the Spot eating a cold croissant and a hot coffee. (Victoria)

    Call me crazy but I actually prefer my coffee cold. Well, cool. I’m not even talking iced coffee I just like all my coffee with mostly milk. It’s more refreshing than a hot drink.  Also, everyone knows croissants are better hot and buttery but I cbf giving instruction to the cafe so it’s really my […]

  6. Curing those post-holiday, Sunday night blues (Simone)

    It seems I haven’t written for a while again! To get to where I am sitting now, you must fast forward me from: two blissful 12pm Saturday morning sleep-ins, a brief Autumn holiday with my family up to Hepburn/Daylesford, one half-finished Power assignment, a signed, sealed (and yet to be delivered) poem and notes (hallelujah! Always […]

  8. I have slipped entirely back into old habits. (Victoria)

    I’ve gone home for the Easter Break and it’s almost like I’ never left. I mean Mum’s rearranged rooms and now there’s my sister’s super comfy double bed in place of my back-breaking single. What I mean is, I’m sitting in bed, in my old bedroom, switching between studying and internetting while fighting off a […]

  9. Missing my awful peanut-butter sandwiches (Simone)

    At last, life at uni is starting to feel a bit more normal. It’s taken nearly a month, but maybe that’s only what I should have expected for such a big change! I miss highschool more than I thought I would. Does anyone feel the same? When you’re at school, you hate being so confined […]

  10. To Choose or Not to Choose? (Kiryll)

    Have you guys had the first doubts about your subject selections? Or are you extremely awed at the compatibility of your subjects? As a fictional reporter for “Are you satisfied @ UniMelb Press”, I had numerous chances to hear that some students really love theirs, some not so much, others unsure. There have even been […]
