The Inside Word 2018
Making a Space Home
When I first arrived in Auckland in February I took MANY photos of all the things that I brought with me, convinced that I would write an informative blog about how organised I was. I recently went back to the folder on my laptop where these photos were stored and...
Hi’s and Lo’s
Hey! It's me again! I hope you've had an incredible term break (dam I'm jealous), and are slowly going through all those internals and externals! Currently, I'm personally experiencing some highs and lows (but definitely more of the highs :)), which I thought would...
Bored? I Don’t Think So
Uni is more than just lectures, tests, then eventually getting a degree and graduating. There’s a whole lot more in between that involves socialising, experiences and an overall good time. The “halls experience” at UoA is unique as you are living in the centre of...
Catering Flexibility at Huia
Huia Residence is unique among the first year halls in that you have three catering options. - Fully Catered (Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner provided on weekdays, Brunch/Dinner weekends) - Half Catered (Only Dinners provided, seven days) - Self Catered (Pretty...
Courses 101: Part 2
https://youtu.be/EEAANQsJnIU Hi Everyone, Welcome back to Part 2 of my Courses blog. In this part, I explore my French and Law courses in greater depth. Just to let you all know I'm now in the middle of a 2 week holiday called Mid-Semester Break. Again, feel...
Free Things for Students
Hi Everyone, I've compiled a quick list of all the “free things” that University of Auckland students have access to. I think it would've been more appropriate to call this post “Things that you don’t know that you’re paying for”, but I felt that was a little too...
University & High School
They say university is nothing like high school... but is it? I guess it's different but then again... it's not really? In my opinion, I just think of university as high school but bigger, with less help and more flexibility. ...
Could this be YOU? Part 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aK34gXw3QI Hellloooo there! 1SE is back! Hope you enjoyed that little snippet of what I got up to. I know it featured quite a lot of food shots but hey, I reckon that's a pretty good representation of my life 🤫😅. As promised, here...
Is it Worth it? Uni Hall Edition
Moving from Napier up to Auckland I really had no choice other than living in a hall of residence. For those of you who have no choice or are trying to decide whether it is worth the cost of living in a first year hall, I have compiled what I find to have been the...
I Can’t Stress This Enough
Picture this: A crowd of hundreds waiting, you're on the wings of the stage, with instrument in hand, sheet music on the stand and heart in your mouth. It's time for composure, focus, showtime. Now this: You’re an individual, part of a pre-med cohort waiting...
Let’s Talk About Stress
I would like to preface this blog by saying that I love my degree and I love the people that I am surrounded with. But let’s just say that you learn a lot about yourself and about other people in your first 3 months at university. Before coming to...
Study Spots on Campus
Just like that, the holidays are over. And with two tests coming up this week, there's no time to ease my way back into it. The only option is to dive in and start swimming. I actually had quite a good first day back, my french lecture got cancelled so all of a...
Of Dining and Homicide
In the weeks leading up to mid semester break, it wasn’t the impending exams or essays that I felt was of any significance in my life; it was an article from Craccum and assassins week. Craccum, the weekly magazine from the students’ association had a piece by...
Mid-Semester Break!
Hey guys! How's life? Currently it's mid-semester break, which means I get to 'chill' (even though I've been studying for my exams arghhhh). One of the great things about uni is that after a month of studying, we get to 'chill' out for two weeks! Nearly everyone I...
