The Inside Word 2016
Jams 🙂 and Exams 🙁
Kia ora koutou, Yes I know, 90% of my blog titles rhyme. Deal with it, somehow it just happens. To be honest life is pretty drab/stressful at the moment. Like most students, I’m feeling the typical end of semester blues and exam stress. We are sick of uni and now...
ode to the gym;
I'll share about my fitness routine. I did not devise it according to some methodological plan because I am not training for any goals (at the moment, at least). I just do what makes me feel good and challenge myself by pushing a little bit harder each time. If you...
my secret obsession;
I woke up feeling absolutely crappy. The sun was shining through my windows and I am waking up in the loveliest room, comfortingly surrounded by good old-fashioned bricks. But that did nothing to chase away the grey clouds. I knew just what I had to do. Within...
Situationships & Other Tips
It's about time I addressed something other than my heavy run of assignments for once... like my love life. More precisely, lack of love life. I am newly single, which isn't a traumatic experience for anyone wondering. It's actually been great (ps this isn't me...
A Breath of Fresh Air
SUMMER IS COMING And as a result, I've been getting out & about in our beautiful city. I thought I might showcase a few of my new discoveries. 1.Cherry Blossoms I went for a very picturesque walk around the cherry blossom trees in Cornwall Park last Sunday and...
As One Door Closes Another Door Opens
It seems like it was only yesterday I moved in to my humble abode at Grafton Hall and with one month left till move out day the end of the year is fast approaching! It really is true what they say, time does fly when you are having fun ! In the midst of evaluating...
First Year Through A Queer Lens
In my first post on this blog, you might remember, I talked about being gay. I wrote about attending my first Pride Parade and how that made me feel: happy, nervous, excited for this new chapter in my life. Since then, I’ve been silent about this part of myself. I...
T Minus 18 Days
I’m moving out of Whitaker Hall is less than a month. What?! Where has the year gone? It felt like only yesterday when I was sitting in my first block meeting, playing icebreaker games and trying to remember everyone’s names. I’m in a reminiscent sort of mood, so I...
Do’s and Dont’s
In my last post I added a few photos that illustrated Auckland's strange weather patterns, since then the weather has gone haywire and goes through 4 seasons in one typical day. Honestly I can't keep up and I have no idea what is going to happen so I thought I...
Biomed vs Health Sci – Round 2
Holla folks, We are back for Round 2. Here is the second half of my blog with my main girl Eliza comparing the in’s and out’s of first year health science and biomedical science. If you were in year 13 what would you have liked to know about your course? Eliza:...
fifty-five;
No, I am not turning fifty-five. I am, however, turning 20 on 11th November. But 11th November 2016 is also special for another reason - it is the day I am moving out of Whitaker Hall. I'll be moving from this vintage heritage brick building, into a brand new...
As The Court Pleases
The last two weeks have been hectic. I feel like I haven't had a moment to breathe, and I won't have a moment to breathe until I successfully get through tomorrow! In honour of my last post where I explained how a little bit of a "why not" attitude can be...
It’s all imagination!
Hey peeps! Firstly, I’d like to congratulate myself for spending so much procrastinating, that I’ve left 3 assignments (which are all due within hours of each other) to the last minute. This is a classic stereotype that other have of uni students, having in...
Health Die or Bio-Dead?
Health Sci vs Biomed Round 1 Note: Some of the information regarding Tamaki Campus is now outdated as of 2019. Hey Team, At Course’s and Careers day a confused future student asked me ‘What’s the differences between health science and biomedical science and which...
Relationships and University
Okay so I have decided its time to really get real about what its like juggling a relationship with University! It is exactly that "juggling" think of you as the clown and your life is a Circus, metaphorically of course you're not a clown although Uni is a bit of a...
