I’ve just hit the point in the semester where everything seems to be due at once, and trust me, it is not fun. Four essays in two weeks has definitely not been a highlight of the semester for me. But with these four essays, I’ve found it to be a perfect time to...

It is currently our last mid-semester break for our first year of university, and that is a really scary thought. This year has been incredible and for the year 13’s who are starting uni next year, you should get excited!! Obviously there will be things that you are...
