So Long, and Thanks for All the Tears
Dear Reader Well hey, we made it! I'm going to make this short and sweet, because like this year, it's been far too short and although sour at times it's mainly been a pretty sweet time. Another year gone, another year the earth has circled the sun. This year has...

Dealing with rejection
Hey guys! Long time no see! Thought, I might pop in this quick post before exams because I know first year hall offers have gone out, and it can be a scary thing! If you didn't know before, I got rejected from UHT. And honestly. It was probably one of the greatest...
Coming in from Christchurch
It's getting near the end of year, which means NCEA exams (good luck!) and more importantly (applying for admission for uni and finding out where you're going to live next year!). So as you may or may not know, I'm from Christchurch, which meant that moving to...

The Final Hurdle
School teachers often promote uni to such a degree that it is almost as if there is nothing better that we could do with our lives, straight out of high school. I am writing this blog, because as much as I genuinely love and enjoy being at university, there are...
Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Thoughts
Before I came to university in February I had a fair few preconceived ideas as to what life as a uni student living in Auckland would be like. In some respects, I was spot on right, but in others, I was quite unprepared. So! Here are a few of my thoughts on what...
Q and A
We are now into semester two of our first year of University and it honestly blows my mind how fast this year has gone. I thought high school went pretty fast but that was nothing compared to this year. As much as I love the idea of being free from doing work, the...
