Auckland Life
So Long, and Thanks for All the Tears
Dear Reader Well hey, we made it! I'm going to make this short and sweet, because like this year, it's been far too short and although sour at times it's mainly been a pretty sweet time. Another year gone, another year the earth has circled the sun. This year has...
Come walk with me!
Being an Aucklander who has pretty much lived here their whole life, I’m ashamed to say that I know surprisingly little about Auckland City. Having been stuck in my room for hours on end trying (key word: trying) to study, exam time was the perfect time to start...
How to Make Friends at Uni
You know that feeling when you walk into the classroom and you get really stressed about where to sit and who you sit next too? Well, with next to 1000 students being in the same classroom as you, the odds of not sitting next to someone are pretty much zero. So...
Wise Words from Amy
This time next month I will be back home in Napier after completing my first year of university. I am still in shock with how fast this year has gone and questioning whether it will be possible to ever beat this year. Unfortunately for you guys, you will be/almost...

Dealing with rejection
Hey guys! Long time no see! Thought, I might pop in this quick post before exams because I know first year hall offers have gone out, and it can be a scary thing! If you didn't know before, I got rejected from UHT. And honestly. It was probably one of the greatest...

Keeping Life Easy
After almost a year at uni, I've come up with some strategies for making my life a bit easier and less stressful, hopefully you'll be able to find them helpful too. 1. Have a go-to spot I think this is probably the most important thing; you can easily waste so much...
A Day in the Life
If you've been wondering what an average day actually looks like for a university student, then this is the post for you! 7am Time to wake up – I could definitely get up later but I like to take my mornings slow. One of my friends literally gets up at 8:40 and...
Coming in from Christchurch
It's getting near the end of year, which means NCEA exams (good luck!) and more importantly (applying for admission for uni and finding out where you're going to live next year!). So as you may or may not know, I'm from Christchurch, which meant that moving to...

Transition to Spring
The last few weeks have been nothing but beautiful walking to campus. The pink flowers bloomed so passionately and I honestly thought that I was in Japan. They're slowly returning back to their green nature but I now know there's something to look forward to for...

The Final Hurdle
School teachers often promote uni to such a degree that it is almost as if there is nothing better that we could do with our lives, straight out of high school. I am writing this blog, because as much as I genuinely love and enjoy being at university, there are...
Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Hey guys! It's me again! I thought I might share with you guys a snapshot into a week of uni! As you guys may know, the timetable between Uni and High school is really,really different. Often you may just have 2-3 classes a day, at most is probably 4. They are...
