Q and A

New Semester New Me
Going to university is not some small change in your life that doesnât affect you at all. It is something that can completely reshape it and will hopefully set you up for the future. It is also something that is hard to prepare for until you are actually in that...
Home and Away
The end of semester break has just been and gone and over the time that I was back at home in the rural Taranaki, I came to a few realisations. After moving from England in 2012, I went to a very small, all-girls school in a rural town called Stratford in Taranaki....
Why Auckland?
Until moving to Auckland, the largest town I'd lived in had 15,000 people, the smallest⌠well, it was barely a village. Ever since I was little, I've dreamed of living in 'the city' so now and then when walking the streets I'll think "whoa, I'm actually here". I...

The Power of Humanity
Itâs been a rough few weeks. Test upon test, assignment upon assignment. A pale face, unwashed hair and a permanent set of panda eyes was my new everyday look. Putting it lightly, the word happy wasnât a word I was expecting to use for a while. âŚThough,...

It may be obvious to some how different Auckland city is compared to the rest of New Zealand. But for me, I could never have imagined some of the differences I have experienced. The small rural town that I grew up in, called Kaikohe did not have much. With a...
Time Out
Living with your friends and being able to constantly go to their rooms to hang out is one the of the greatest things about University. You realize very quickly who âyour peopleâ are and all of their quirky traits and annoying habits. However, when you...
Making a Space Home
