Solitary Freedom and How to Fix it.
Soooooooooo. I recently turned 18 and gained the ability to make hotel bookings without an adult, get my P plates, visiting the bottle-o and even more things that I am still discovering… I started uni this year. Well… duh. If I didn’t then I wouldn’t be writing this article but this statement holds more meaning […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2025/04/16/solitary-freedom-and-how-to-fix-it

MST (mid-semester testimony)
I told myself I’d get to writing a blog as soon as I could, only to be swept off my feet by all the things that made themselves more important than this. Even now, I’m writing from in-between MSTs, assignment due dates, and personal commitments. It feels like high school all over again, but way […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2025/04/10/mst-mid-semester-testimony

Week five and my first post is live!
Can you believe we’re already one month into uni? The time flies by… I only finally noticed how much our lives were transforming after high school, once ATAR results came out and all the crucial decisions had to be confirmed, and then in completing all the admin work that followed. This transition to uni involves […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2025/04/02/week-five-and-my-first-post-is-live

Anticipating Assessments and Why Nihilism is Important
It’s rare for me to dip my toes into philosophy so for all those philosophical purists out there, excuse my use of “nihilism” if it is used poorly. There is nothing less nerve-wracking, sweat-inducing, adrenaline-producing, heart-pounding of a moment than waiting for the final minutes to tick down before you flip open the first page […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2025/03/29/anticipating-assessments-and-why-nihilism-is-important

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
