Study Tips
Specialisation Corner: Mechanical Engineering
“Darn,” I missed watching the Aerohydrodynamics Glider Competition, that would have been a good featured picture. And no, I don’t know what aerohydrodynamics is, either. Oh well, here’s a crumpled formula sheet from one my exams. I might’ve taken my anger out on it...
HOW TO CRAM FOR AN EXAM
As someone who crammed and jammed my way through high school, you could consider myself with some expertise in this area, so here’s to all the overwhelmed uni students (and high school students too!)
Fifty Percent
Fifty percent. I am halfway through my grades for semester one. All 4 of my exams are worth 50% of my final grade. That is no small sum. Thankfully and scarily I only have two more weeks of exams left and two more days to study for my first two exams (yikes). I am...
Seven HOLY steps to surviving group projects
Now how’s that for a click bait title? The stability of this bridge is reminiscent of how much I like group projects. They're a pretty big part of Engineering, which does make sense in a “prepares you for the real world” kind of way I guess. (insert overused truss...
THE 411 ON 121: LAW AND SOCIETY

STRESS LESS (Easier said than done)
Hi guys! I’m back for tips & snips round 2. There’s no doubt a giant cloud of stress (maybe even a thunderstorm) hanging over our heads this past few days. For biomedders, our last mid-semester test was on Friday (yay), but our first exam is less than 3 weeks away (eek). The semester has flown by so quick - turns out our last labs and tutorials are this week!
Expect The Un-Expected
Last week I expected the norm... and definitely didn't get it. It all started two Friday's ago when I expected to play another regular game of basketball for the inter-faculty team and like any ordinary game I prepared myself to play like an NBA All-star and take...
The University Compass – to go North, or to go South?

May Mayhem (send help)
Hi everyone, so here’s something a little bit different…So if you’ve read my bio, I mentioned something about picking up some weird hobbies at uni. Well, this is it. Juggling isn't inherently weird, it’s just something I don’t think a lot of people do when they’re...

How to pack (your pencil case)
A pencil case is like a puppy. You bring it wherever you go, it's your best friend in an exam if you treat it right but if you don't feed it well, nothing will end well for you. I'm going to discuss the stuff I feed mine (the pencil case, not puppy) 1....
