Back Again! (Hiruni)
Can I make up for weeks without an update with a single post? No. Will I attempt to anyway? Yes 🙂 Like every semester before it, this one is slowly coming to be defined by what assessment I have due that week, and that’s without counting the horrors that are the final exams looming […] -
Jobless No More – Phoebe
Week 8 already?! Time flies when you’re having fun (or more like insanely busy). I’ve been crazily busy since the mid-sem break because… I’ve recently got a J-O-B! Yes folks, it’s true, I’m officially an employee! I really like the people I’m working with, and I really enjoy payday (let’s be real, who doesn’t!) but […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2015/04/29/jobless-no-more-phoebe

A Guide to Careers & Employment (Part 2- Careers Fair) (Hiruni)
As promised, here is part 2 of my guide to the Careers and Employment services at the university. With the Careers Fair occurring a few weeks ago and the application period for internships opening quite soon, I thought I’d post about career decisions and opportunities more specific to second year and beyond. The University offered three […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2015/04/08/a-guide-to-careers-and-employment-part-2-careers-fair

A Guide to Careers & Employment (Part 1) (Hiruni)
I’m hoping that my neglecting to post for a while can be excused this time, because I’ve got some exciting resources for you to try! (Well, as exciting as writing resumes and planning your career can be…). If, like I did, you spent your whole high school career focusing on study rather than employment, the […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2015/03/30/a-guide-to-careers-employment-part-1

Study Hangouts (Phoebe)
New Year, New Me – it’s a saying that floats around a lot, mostly in the week pre- and post New Years. However, it’s been my motto for my first couple of weeks back at UniMelb. Yes, maybe it’s a little clichĂ© but hey, it’s been working. I’ve been making extra special effort to get […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2015/03/16/study-hangouts-phoebe

Holiday? What Holiday? (Hiruni)
After a hectic exam period and an almost non-existent vacation due to my summer subject (more on that later), it feels great to get back into blogging, especially if it means venting to all my readers! Part of getting my life back on track meant that I had to cancel some of my vacation time […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2015/03/06/holiday-what-holiday

A MAJOR Change (Phoebe)
The transition from a First to Second Year student has not been so much as a leap as a baby step. However, maybe that’s due to the fact I haven’t actually started classes to recognise any notable differences. One thing that is different though, is my new-found awareness that I need to start taking my […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2015/02/25/a-major-change-phoebe

I will definitely need a gap year after I graduate.
The Melbourne Model is super great for people who know they wanna study but don’t know what they want to do with their lives. I wasn’t one of those people. I knew exactly what I wanted out of my BA. I would major in English and Creative Writing, go on to a Masters of Creative […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2014/10/01/i-will-definitely-need-a-gap-year-after-i-graduate

Assignments
1. Psychology. The assignment was a 2000 word lab report about how individuals reach moral judgements and whether individual differences can manifest themselves to vary moral judgements across society. Would Person A reach the same moral conclusions as Person B, where A experiences more disgust and B prefers more cognitive activities than A? The lecturer arranged […] -
Last semester I wrote between ten and eleven thousands words of assessment in one week.
I am such a horrible last minute worker and almost all of my assessments were due in the first two days of the exam period. Yet, I plan on all assessments bar exams (which I can’t help) being done and dusted by October 31st. I’m not off to a good start: Instead of preparing for […]
