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...

The Summer Start Experience
Although the NCEA level 3 exams were months ago, I still vividly remember how stressed and anxious I was. My stomach was turning, my head was dizzy, and I felt like I was going to… Who am I kidding? I’m just being overdramatic. I studied for two hours the day...
In The Deep End!
Hellooo, welcome to my first blog on the inside word! My name is Imogen, I am a first-year biomedder, proud O'Rorkian (O'Rorke two clap!) and a self-proclaimed (if you ask anyone on my floor, they'd agree) volleyball addict. In my short time here, I have already...

Waking Up Early (And Why I Can’t Do It)
I am loving being back at Uni! I really missed the clear structure, the socialising, the face-to-face contact with lecturers, and being able to spend all my money at Shaky Isles. Bliss! Being a third-year Arts student, the best parts of my degree are discussing and...
