Dear First Year and Future me, “The older you get, the wiser you get,” I’m unsure if that is an entirely accurate quote but you know what I’m going to go with it for the purpose of this blog post. It’s too late for me to go back and change things to reflect what I...
Law School: Love or Hate it?
Throughout high school, students wanting to go into law are told all about how competitive it is, the difficulty, the amount of reading required and that the slim chances of getting into part two and beyond. As a result, I had my eyes set on one thing, and that was...
First v Second
Looking back on first year, only positives come to my mind. Whether I have blocked out the bad memories of the stress of trying to get into law, late night assignments or homesickness or the fun of living within a few metres of all my friends...
5 top tips: How to study for a hard exam/test

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...
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...
Procrastination Central
The last week of University before mid-semester break is both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because it means you are so close to being free to do everything you normally do, but without the guilt and stress. A curse because it tends to be the busiest week of...
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...
One Semester Down
