Auckland Life
Coming in from Christchurch

Transition to Spring
The last few weeks have been nothing but beautiful walking to campus. The pink flowers bloomed so passionately and I honestly thought that I was in Japan. They're slowly returning back to their green nature but I now know there's something to look forward to for...
Q and A 2.0
It is currently our last mid-semester break for our first year of university, and that is a really scary thought. This year has been incredible and for the year 13’s who are starting uni next year, you should get excited!! Obviously there will be things that you...
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
Hey guys! It's me again! I thought I might share with you guys a snapshot into a week of uni! As you guys may know, the timetable between Uni and High school is really,really different. Often you may just have 2-3 classes a day, at most is probably 4. They are...
Independence!(?)
Coming to university is a landmark for many, where the a new stage of life begins. It’s also the time where many move away from home. For them, the transition into university is also where they gain greater independence of all kinds. Woo yass! Independence is great...
Procrastination Central
The last week of University before mid-semester break is both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because it means you are so close to being free to do everything you normally do, but without the guilt and stress. A curse because it tends to be the busiest week of...
Course planning 101
The experience of course planning will be completely different depending on what degree you intend to take. So on one end of the spectrum you have the biomed/health sci (I am yet to figure out the difference between these two) and engineering end. That’s when the...

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...
Sem 2 and Looking to 2nd Yr
Hey guys! It's currently semester 2 (man, they weren't kidding when they said uni goes by fast) and I can't believe I've possibly just finished 1/6 of my degree!!! I thought I might mix up things, and talk about the great stuff we have uni (which has nothing to do...
