Whirlwinds of Change and RUPI KAUR!

The University Compass – to go North, or to go South?
Hey guys! I have finally recovered from a treacherous week of tests and assignments. After several late nights, two orders of uber eats and the struggle that was POP111, I’ve made it out alive and I’m back to smooth sailing until the next beast of a test comes...
The Five Year Plan
I have three very big assignments due within the next week and a half, but unfortunately I caught a serious case of procrastination. While I was staring into space (when I should've been starting on my assignments) I thought about how the schedule I wrote in my...
(List)en Up!

Week Five, Stay Alive
Symonds Street should be renamed "Struggle Street", at least for the next two weeks.
A Dalai Llama’s recount
Well buckle up me belt and a good evening to you all! Another two weeks under said belt and it's getting to us all. I'm on spent time at the moment and judging by the fact that people are walking around with faces that look like pies pushed through a tennis racket...
What am I doing here?
This month alone, I've probably been asked the questions "What are you doing in New Zealand?" and "Why don't you study back home?" about 50 times, so in today's post I'll give my answers. Answer No.1 - Tuition The obvious answer would be that it is...
The Campus Lowdown
