Being an NPC is nice
I look around the grand cavernous mouth of my first ever lecture theatre, and not a single face do I recognise. Not one single face in that field of faces lit sharply by the too bright alternating white and yellow lights. Do you know what this means? This means no one knows me. No longer […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2024/03/21/being-an-npc-is-nice

It’s a Process [Clay]
Howdy Folks, It is currently 9:26 pm on Sunday the 17th, and instead of doing any of the readings I promised myself I would finish this weekend or maybe starting the essay draft my tutor wanted to go over on Wednesday, I’m writing my silly little blog posts and ignoring all of my responsibilities. It’s […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2024/03/18/its-a-process-clay

To be understood?
I’m putting off revising Linear Algebra in favour of pacing my room like a weather-beaten 53-year-old detective. I’ve been reflecting on the year every single waking moment, and I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s been a fascinating year; a lot of things, ranging from elating to excruciating, were not on my bingo card. So, […] -
Get through this week challenge
Is it just me or has this week been SO. LONG. I swear it’s been Thursday for three days already and I’m going insane. I’ve been working my butt off to try and balance having a social life and getting grades that won’t make my parents fly over here and drag my back to the […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2023/05/01/get-through-this-week-challenge

Kia ora/Xin chao, it’s Elizabeth!
I still have much nostalgia for the places I’ve lived in before and I occasionally get melancholic in this new city. But sometimes, I could almost feel the nostalgia of the moment just before. That’s one of the many feelings that keep me rolling.blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2023/04/22/kia-ora-xin-chao-its-elizabeth

Freedom Has Come
I can’t believe it that I have finished first year. I survived through the hard times. I survived through those last minute assignments. I survived through practical and written exams. I survived it all. I’m still amazeballs that I had made it. The feeling is truly rewarding, while trying not to have any negative thoughts […] -
Week 12 Feels
Holy bagebus! It’s going to be Week 12 tomorrow! AHHH!! This semester has crept me up a little, and has gone faster than what I expected it would be. Looking back from the start of semester two, I had gone through a lot, and I’m not sure whether it is more intense than Semester 1. […] -
A Musician's Sacrifice
Making more time for something has one, or two sacrifices that needs to be cut out for the week. It is pretty common for some, or majority of musos, or for any one else in uni in general. For instance, not going to lectures (that are recorded), less time studying (and cramming every thing to […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2015/10/16/a-musicians-sacrifice

Things can get crazy You have no idea how it is hectic for first years. It’s like them saying, “Here’s all your assignments, readings, studying, practising, things […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2015/10/04/what-i-have-learnt-so-far

Reflections
This semester is looking pretty good so far. Yes, I have had some setbacks with not getting desired marks etc, but this has instilled in me a drive to perform better and an understanding of had work! Overall, I feel like I’m more at home at uni. I’m more confident now, making more friends and […]
