Study Tips
What even is study?
As my exam results have rolled in I begin to reminisce on all the things I did right and wrong. The study tips I saw on Facebook that I tried to use that just did not work for me and the strategies I developed myself that helped a lot. I have found that a study...
The ‘T’ word.
Little bit of inspo about time management, overcoming challenges, and just trying your best!
Exam Season Support
In some ways, exam period has felt rather anticlimactic, I think that's mostly down to luck with my timetable, but I haven't felt overly stressed (this time at least). I'm now on break as Thursday evening was my last exam (yes there are night-time exams - it's...
Getting Prepped for Law
Exams are HARD. Being in a competitive course like law, I knew early on that I would need to organise myself and be better prepared for tests and exams than I was when in high school; as unlike with NCEA, it is near impossible to pass a course based on assignments...
Pressure, Nerves and the Fun of Exams
Going to University is all fun and games until you hit the point in the semester where things actually start to matter. That point is called exams and trust me I cannot wait to see the back of them. At High School, I was never one to stress or feel nervous for...
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...
Starting Study: Part 2- Study Skillz
“If ya don't know what you don't know, it’s pretty hard to get to know what you should be knowing.” -Daniel Chow Say what?? Pretty much, if you don’t know exactly what you should be studying, it’ll be a battle and a half studying effectively so that you’re prepared...
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,...
Readings, Readings, Readings
https://youtu.be/jAKmAHrv3OA Hi Everyone, The video above just gives you a quick crash course on the readings we have to do at Uni. I have definitely picked papers this semester and a whole degree actually with lots of readings. In fact, I have one reading before...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Starting Study: Part 1 – University Life
Everyone learns in a different way. Therefore, everyone studies differently. In the first year of university, the skill of effective studying is acquired by many individuals because it is necessary to be able to keep on top of the workload. This personalised style...
Could this be YOU?
Hello Hello! Short time no see 🤗 It's currently the holidays and like most others, I spent some quality time with my family, met up with friends and caught up on sleep and....zzzz...zz...and you're falling asleep right now 😴 Don't leave just yet! I really didn't...
