Blogger Perks & UH Apartments

Year 13 was one insane year– one won’t be quite like it again. Sorry to hit hard with the first line but you definitely go through those times when you’ve got poor time management and typing up a storm at 3am. But of course, uni hype was at an all-time high towards...

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 that...

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...

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...
