POV: YOU WANT TO EXCEL IN LANGUAGES
If there’s anything you should know about me, it’s that I looooooove languages and I’ve found them to be one of my favourite things to study! A fun fact that intrigues all at dinner parties or whenever someone meets me is that I currently am learning three...
Mooting!
It’s a funny word. But you could say its oddness is appropriate to the unique experience. As a Law student, you’ll find that a lot of your time is spent learning and listening. But at some point, you’re going to have to answer a question, and someone will ask you...
Clubs are your answers to everything
My obsession with clubs A lot of parts of high school really sucked. For me, one of the things that made it more tolerable was the existence of clubs and I’m sure that was the case for some of you guys too. I’ll be honest, I did join some clubs just so my school...
Let’s Have a Conversation
I read quite a bit over the inter-semester break, listening to podcasts and the radio too. These are all forms of conversations; opening up your mind to someone else and taking out some of its contents, holding them up to the light for the other person to see. It’s...
Staying healthy on campus with ‘Better Kai’
Healthy eating. We all know it is important. We’ve always been told to eat our 5+ servings of fruit and vegetables, choose wholegrains, eat less saturated fat, cut back on sodium and sugar…simple. Right? Actually, not really! Because despite knowing this and...
Studying for a lecture: A timeline
Being a student feels like a full time job. In fact, the university recommends that for each paper, you should invest ten hours of work each week. This includes lectures, labs, tutorials, as well as your own personal study outside of class. Assuming you take four...
One Semester’s Worth Of Learning
The first semester is over (whoo!!), and now we are wading into the second semester. University life certainly is different from anything I've ever experienced before; it's hectic, stressful, and so exciting. I have personally found University to be a platform of...
Extracurriculars in Medical School as a Preclinical Student

Exam Day Vlog
Hey there, So I thought it could be useful for you to see what it is like the day of an exam at university, so you know what to expect. In this vlog, I show my day and how I get ready to sit my marketing exam. I am also dyslexic, and that is why you will see in...
A Day In The Life – BA Student

Being a class rep: My experience, and why you should sign up!
In the first lecture for most courses, the lecturer will ask the class for a volunteer(s) to be Class Rep. Last year I considered signing up, but worried I wasn’t confident enough or wouldn’t have enough time to do a good job. This semester, I thought more about it...
What to expect in First Year’s First Semester (BIOMED edition)
Hello there! I hope you didn’t mind me losing track of how fast time flew by, but here I am again, at the end of semester one. I felt it would only be right to pop on here and share my semester one experience with you! This is mainly for anyone interested in...
What it’s Like Getting Sick in University
Getting sick is never fun. The experience of getting sick in university is very different to getting sick at home. You still got to cook. You'll miss classes and will need to catch up. You'll need to email the right people. Fortunately, I got sick at a time period...
