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

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 […] -
Almost there again [Daniel]
It seems weird to have done 4 years of uni, and still have another year to go. Not in a bad way or anything, just it’s hard to imagine doing anything else. I mean maybe it’s just the fact that I haven’t gone off and done those things, but it really seems as though to […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2013/01/29/almost-there-again-daniel

If I stay…. [Daniel]
I am probably going to end up spending a lot more money, living out of home. But if I leave to stay with my parents, I’ll be back at home – no longer independent, living the life of luxury and security. I won’t have to worry about anything, or stretch my bonds. I’ll be okay […] -
Who have I been? [Daniel]
There was a brief absence in my life where a semester seemed to take over everything. Not that it was bad mind you. It was just a collection of events that had me focused, busy and full of experiences. And so now I am deflated. No more Europe, no more five subjects, no more writing […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2012/12/10/who-have-i-been-daniel

Positive Emoticons. (Candy)
Life is coming up roses. And you know what the most fascinating thing about it all is? Skimming over all the facets of my current existence, it doesn’t necessarily fall into the ‘perfect’ category. And yet way back when, when certain aspects WERE running smoothly, I always felt like something was missing. It really does […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2012/04/29/positive-emoticons-candy

Day in the life of.
Friday. 6am. Slam my palm in the general direction of my beeping phonebrick: miss, slam again. Clothes. Kettle. Lunch. Face. Breakfast. Milk out of date as of today. Seems alright. Remember I can’t drink caffeine. No chamomile tea left. Putting on the kettle was redundant. Blast. Keys. Wallet. Phone. Bag. Sprint from my front door […] -
A tipping point?
Maybe I wasn’t cut out for uni to begin with? I feel like everything is over my head, and that I should understand things better… On the other hand, I’ve only done Psych for three weeks, so perhaps I should be less hard on myself. But I look at this project – only 1000 words! […]
