That’s a Wrap: Semester 1
https://youtu.be/bVYrU4i2hok Hi Everyone, I’m in the throes of exams at the moment. I’ve already had Law, but I have to wait until the last few days in the exam period for my final two (Global 101 and French). Regardless, I still took a few moments to do a PMI...
UHA – The Best of Both Worlds
Hey Guys! It's me again! Soon, it'll be halls applications, which I know can be a pretty scary time. I think they open in August and close in September! (Protip: Register as soon as you can! Try not to leave it to the last minute, and even apply to make sure you...
Let’s Talk Money
University is not a cheap life experience, whether it be the fees themselves or accommodation fees, your bank account is definitely going to take a hit. As soon as you embrace the whole “poor uni student” title and take advantage of this, your bank...
Pressure, Nerves and the Fun of Exams

Today was a good day
I woke up today at my semi-regular time of 2 p.m., just after lunch was served at O’Rorke. But I’m not hungry, and I don’t feel like I’ve wasted much of my day. I wake up to clear blue skies and the chirping of birds outside my window. It’s exam season, so there’s...

The Power of Humanity
It’s 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 wasn’t a word I was expecting to use for a while. …Though,...

urban vs rural
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...
A Good Couple of Weeks

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 ‘your people’ are and all of their quirky traits and annoying habits. However, when you...
