Campus Life
Thoughts ????????
Lately, I've been reminiscing a lot about home and the people I've left behind. One memory in particular that I seem to keep going back to is when my mom took my sister and I to New York City to watch Aladdin on Broadway. It's my favorite Disney movie, you see....
Light Up My World
It’s that time of the semester again where I begin missing home. Maybe it’s the fact that finals are fast approaching, in a couple weeks, and I feel overwhelmed with the amount of information I still have to go over. Whatever it is, I couldn’t let myself stay...
Taking Advantage of Opportunities!
I'm a big advocate for taking part in extracurriculars and branching out from the humdrum that is Uni-life. Going to town every weekend and lectures every weekday can get so tiresome, once you've fallen into a routine that only consists of these two. So, here's my...
A Trip to the Hospital
What’s worse than the knowledge that mid-semester tests are in a week? Knowing that you can’t take them because you’re STUCK in the HOSPITAL. Don’t worry guys, it’s not me whose being forced to don a flimsy gown and remain bedridden, but my lovely friend. She’s got...

A DAY IN THE LIFE
Have you ever wondered what a day in the life of a university student looks like? Today I’ll give you a glimpse into my life as first-year student. This is the real-life version: anyone who knows me knows I am never (always) late, occasionally (habitually) disorganised, and loves (detests) early mornings 😉
THROWBACK: The Blues Awards 2017
Tate has a wee look back on one of the coolest things she has got to do this year, as a blogger for The Inside Word.
Big *Months and Mooting
Tate vlogs about mooting, and talks about how she underestimated the length of time she'd be on the grind for. (All positive, though. She's loving it.)
This past semester the music block has been filled with anticipation as the School of Music festival comes to life. With a wide variety of talents on display throughout September it has been a privilege to partake in what can only be explained as a truly AWESOME...
Auckland Uni Courses & Careers Open Day
If you're around in Auckland next week, you should definitely come to Auckland Uni's Courses & Careers Open Day on Saturday 2 September. Not only can you attend talks about the courses you are interested in, take a tour of the many Auckland Uni hall of...
Finals Preparation (!!!)
I’m currently sitting in front of my gate at Shanghai International Airport, waiting to board my 15-hour flight to New York City. With five hours to go until my plane arrives, what better opportunity than now to reminisce about the last month of exam preparation...
Remembering to Breath
Stressed. Stressed. Stressed. This single word thrums against my skull over and over again as I try and study. Some would say that this is a telling sign of a headache. My pretentious, overworked ass, on the other hand, has convinced itself that it is the...
3 Ways Uni Is Not Like High School
You're nearly made it to the end of your high school years so before you get here, I'd like to share with you: Three ways University is not like High School. How do you meet new people? How on earth do you manage all this extra time? How hard is it to get an E in NCEA vs an A+ at Uni?
Recovered. Reenergised. Ready!
Following from my last blog Relocate. Relax. Recalibrate I can report that SEMESTER TWO has begun!!! Strange. Feels so weird to think that we are already so far through the year but there are exciting times ahead. Reflecting on my holiday I can say that it was a...
