Planning on studying Engineering, Law, or Medicine…?
Hey guys, I realised that it would be much more interesting filming myself completing a puzzle, than me talking, so enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhBXD1d07YE&feature=youtu.be Disclaimer: as always, don't take my word for it, seek academic...
Day in the life of an online uni student
Hi guys, I hope you are all doing well and keeping safe. I remember back to when I was in high school, I wanted to understand a bit about what uni life was like. So today I have made a video of what online uni is currently like for me. I hope you enjoy the video...
You’re just an “Applied Scientist”
As some of you may know (from my rather concise bio), I study engineering, and it has been a running joke on my floor that us engineering students are simply "applied scientists". This has gotten on my nerves, since it has made me feel a bit self conscious about...
Move in day Vlog – Waipārūrū Hall
This vlog is of me moving from Christchurch to Auckland to start my degree. It shows me moving into the new Waipārūrū hall and me getting settled in a new city.
A Guide to Exams
Studying is one of my least favourite things to do at university, however during this wonderful time period of exams we are in, it’s a must. It is time consuming, can be boring, stressful and a source of comparison to others. I have always found that the way I...
First half semester – class review 😎
University is hard. It's awesome, but like, super hard. This first half of the semester has been a mixed bag, either I loved the class and turned up to every lecture, or I had a few regrets about my enrollment choices. This is a rundown of my experience with each...

An old vlog and a new perspective.
Cue the Tears
I’ve never been that person who embraces the idea of change. I know it is inevitable, yet I actively try and avoid it. The reason I try and avoid it is because I fear the incredible times and experiences I have had will never be topped. The biggest...
Student course review:Fact or Fiction?
Hi everyone! This last half of the semester has gone by super fast, and I can't believe it's a month of uni, and then first year will be all over! I thought I might give you a rundown of the courses I'm taking this semester, which could be helpful for all you...
General Education!!
If you are a curious high school student wanting to go to the University of Auckland you probably have seen somewhere along your search the term general education. Some programmes require one Gen Ed paper, others require two. These are papers that you take outside...
Semester Two Course Review
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...
Swap & Change
It's the mid-semester break, which means we are already halfway through Semester Two (😬). That is a mildly terrifying fact, as there are only six more weeks of teaching before exams… semesters really go fast - so much faster than a term at high school. I'm down in...
Course planning 101
The experience of course planning will be completely different depending on what degree you intend to take. So on one end of the spectrum you have the biomed/health sci (I am yet to figure out the difference between these two) and engineering end. That’s when the...
Q and A
We are now into semester two of our first year of University and it honestly blows my mind how fast this year has gone. I thought high school went pretty fast but that was nothing compared to this year. As much as I love the idea of being free from doing work, the...
Back We Go
One week down, just eleven more to go til the year is over! 😱 A new semester means new classes. This semester I'm taking another four classes: French 204, Stats 108, Business 102 and Economics 151. The latter three are compulsory 'core' classes for a BCom. Stats...
