The Inside word 2017
Remembering to Breath
Stressed. Stressed. Stressed. This single word thrums against my skull over and over again as I try and study. Some would say that this is a telling sign of a headache. My pretentious, overworked ass, on the other hand, has convinced itself that it is the...
Specialisation Corner: Chemical and Materials Engineering

NZ Uni vs USA College ?!
Have you ever wondered how your life would’ve turned out if you hadn’t made a certain decision? Where would you be? Who would you be? Choosing where to go for University, at least for me, was one of those decisions. I struggled between staying in America, and...
Getting back in the groove!
I’m back! Back in blog form and also back in the Big A after some well needed time away. The inter-semester break treated me like no other, but after a month of doing nothing, I feel more than ready to start doing something. So to honour the title of this blog, I...

Swimming in a Pool of Pity
Today marks the first week of semester two complete. Me llamo Eunice. Soy americano, soy de California. Vivo en Nueva Zelanda. For my general ed class I decided to take Spanish 104G which is beginners Spanish. Or so I thought. The textbook and...
A Uni Musical
For probably just about all of us Disney movies have been a stalwart through a large part of our lives. So its natural that after six months at university some of those theme songs that permanently live in the recesses of our brains began to resonate quite...
Specialisation Corner: Software Engineering
With the long inter-semester break over, it’s time to get back into studying mode. Have to say, I can’t wait. There’s only so much time off I can handle until I start to get really bored! Some ways I alleviate this is to code silly things or read the material for...
3 Ways Uni Is Not Like High School
You're nearly made it to the end of your high school years so before you get here, I'd like to share with you: Three ways University is not like High School. How do you meet new people? How on earth do you manage all this extra time? How hard is it to get an E in NCEA vs an A+ at Uni?
Recovered. Reenergised. Ready!
Following from my last blog Relocate. Relax. Recalibrate I can report that SEMESTER TWO has begun!!! Strange. Feels so weird to think that we are already so far through the year but there are exciting times ahead. Reflecting on my holiday I can say that it was a...
