In Sickness and in Health
What’s interesting about uni life, or even academic life starting from high school, is that those rush of deadlines come seemingly out of nowhere. For a few weeks, it seems almost like easy cruising, your expected to just go to lectures, take notes, go to tutorials and participate. However, in the course of 2-3 weeks […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2017/08/07/in-sickness-and-in-health

Doing A Okay!
Being back into the swings from mid-semester break, I faced a difficult time last week. I was being very hard on myself. I was putting so much pressure on myself, that I wanted to breakdown last Friday afternoon. I was screaming in frustration in my practice room when I couldn’t play a phrase that I […] -
Where Did All The Time Go?
Tomorrow will be the beginning of week 8, and it seems like time has gone fast like always every semester. I like it when time goes by fast, but at the same time it is a bit of a worrying when exams will be coming up the next. There are a few things that I […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2016/09/11/where-did-all-the-time-go

Taking A Breather
Sometimes, taking a sleep in is the best idea for a short break. During the past six weeks, it has been very hectic. I was a part of open day, auditioned for AYO (Australian Youth Orchestra), performed in two gigs in MYS (Melbourne Youth Strings) and PGYO (Percy Grainger Youth Orchestra), auditioned for piano duo […] -
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

HOLY BAGEBUS, SEMESTER ONE DONE!
I swear, I didn’t expect that Thursday was the end of semester one for me. 😂 I hope you had a good chuckle at this, but it was taken by surprise when I realise that Thursday was my last lecture of this semester. Probably the reason why I felt surprised was how much I been […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2016/05/29/holy-bagebus-semester-one-done

Things I Learnt in First Year, that I Employed in 2nd Year, to Have a Great Start to the Semester! (Bella)
So, that title felt longer than a 2-hour tute. HOWEVER, it is really what I wanted to get across! So, without further ado, here are 3 things I’ve learnt that hopefully you can learn from too… 1. Those people that look like they’ve been friends for ages… might have actually only just met At uni, […] -
Trying New Things Part 1 (Nicole)
After my first year adventures, I always believe trying and experimenting ways on how to approach lectures, tutorials, studying and practising, changes the way I learn and absorb information, according to each subjects I enrol in each semester. It’s actually fun, and engaging if you look at it this way when experimenting. You can find […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2016/03/28/trying-new-things-part-1-nicole

Nana Nap Saves Students’ Lives (Nicole)
If you’re feeling intense, or feeling exhausted in some way while at uni, go take a nana nap. Five to fifteen minutes does make a difference. I try to take about half an hour to an hour nana nap during my day, especially on the way to uni, because it really refreshes my mind after […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2016/03/21/nana-nap-saves-students-lives-nicole
