Caffeine addiction incoming?
A few Thursdays ago in my Korean class, I was very, very tired. My vision kept splitting and spinning, and most of the things my tutor was saying weren’t reaching my head, and my lungs had filled with heavy goop so that it was hard to breathe. I wanted to slump over and die. I […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2025/04/13/caffeine-addiction-incoming

First day back for second year!! [Betty]
Yesterday I finally had my first day of uni after four full months!! Hey. My name’s Betty and I’m a second year Arts student, majoring in Creative Writing. You might remember me from last year when I was a first year blogger. Probably not though, because I kinda disappeared in semester 2 after it slapped […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2025/03/05/first-day-back-for-second-year-betty

Switcheroo
Going into the second year is a significant step for any Uni student, with experiences varying for each of us. That being said, most probably won’t have as turbulent of a shift as mine. Switching courses proved to be a challenging ordeal, but I’m glad to say that I’ve actually transferred, as of the start of this semester, […] -
So Long, Farewell
Last week, brings an end to my second year journey, and also this lovely blog community, ‘Back For Seconds’. It has been a crazy year indeed, but it was so worth it. If I can summarise my second year life, it was a rollercoaster, yet again, both emotional, and physically. I can strongly remember how […] -
The End is Thy Near
No time, no see readers! I have been super duper busy lately. Mainly, the workload has been off the charts after the sixth week of semester two. It has been crazy. Today, all of my assessments are FINISHED. DONE! I’m really happy. Now, I just need to focus on my recital exam, which is coming up next week. […] -
Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes (Turn and Face the Strange)
Week 1 finished, and boy to be honest, I cannot wait until this week is gone. From what I can tell, changes has occurred once again. New timetable, longer practise hours, new schedule, new work hours, new everything. The one thing I’m most happy, and are most super welcoming that doesn’t change is the people around […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2016/07/28/ch-ch-ch-ch-changes-turn-and-face-the-strange

Back for Second S(emester) – Bella
Woohoo! First week = complete (yes, it’s only Thursday night, but I’m an Arts student). I have had an awesome first week back for semester two.

My Fears Before Semester Starts (Recital Preparation)
These past couple of days, and possibly weeks, I have been thinking and worrying about what I’ll be facing these next twelve weeks ahead. I might have been overthinking, but from what I had faced this time last year with my recital preparation has made an impact in my life, all the good, bad and […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2016/07/25/my-fears-before-semester-starts-recital-preparation

Level up! (Bella)
Hey everyone! So, it’s SWOTVAC time! Unlike last year, I am not sitting in the library frantically making flashcards at the last minute. I started early, and am feeling (somewhat) more relaxed this time around. Basically, I have three essays due on Monday, an exam Tuesday morning, another essay due on Thursday (2000 words in […] -
Turnitin Glitch? (Nicole)
Imagine this, you have successfully written a 2000 word essay in two days, and submitted your essay on turnitin like a boss… while feeling mentally exhausted from formulating ideas into academic sentences. Then, two weeks later, you were excited on going to check your results on the LMS. Things started to go a little odd […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2016/05/30/turnitin-glitch-nicole
