Mid-year resolutions
As one of my favourite podcasters once said, I don't believe in New Year's Resolutions in the traditional sense. Nobody I've known has ever managed to stick to them. That’s not to say that goals aren’t important, they are. However, one year is way too long a...
0 TO 100 REAL QUICK: FIRST YEAR ARTS (1)
Tate gives you the rundown on the three arts papers she took this semester: Classics 110, European 100, and Art History 109.
Relocate. Relax. Recalibrate.
I can proudly say that I survived semester one. I'm not going to lie these past few months have been some of the best and worst times. Exams stretched out quite a bit in comparison to a lot of my friends so I found myself stuck studying for my remaining two exams...
Food, Friends, Family, and Fitness
In which Tate discusses the developments that have occurred since last she wrote.
Just take a Chill-Pill
Just take a Chill-Pill - simple, but great words of advice my Mum gives me every time I turn into a big, fat ball of stress - which is a frequent occurrence for someone like me, who’s biggest driver of study and work, is stress. I don’t think I can count the amount...
You live and you learn
I've finished my last exam and man, does it it feel sooo good. Those two weeks full of exams were a whirlwind and yet it felt like they would never end. Semester one as a whole, literally flew right past me. I'm 1/8 done with my degree, however, I'm supposedly not...
Specialisation Corner: Mechanical Engineering
“Darn,” I missed watching the Aerohydrodynamics Glider Competition, that would have been a good featured picture. And no, I don’t know what aerohydrodynamics is, either. Oh well, here’s a crumpled formula sheet from one my exams. I might’ve taken my anger out on it...
Three down, one to go.
If you were to look around the hall today, a crowd of people is not what you would find. For those unfortunate few (like yours truly) who still have exams to sit before they can actually begin their break have a huge building all to themselves. Besides the fact...
SHOWS WORTH BINGEING!!
With exams wrapping up, and the holidays so close you can taste them, its hard to stop yourself from dreaming about those long care free days ahead of you. For me I don't have a lot planned except spending endless hours bingeing... TV shows that is. From Netflix to...
HOW TO CRAM FOR AN EXAM
As someone who crammed and jammed my way through high school, you could consider myself with some expertise in this area, so here’s to all the overwhelmed uni students (and high school students too!)
Fifty Percent
Fifty percent. I am halfway through my grades for semester one. All 4 of my exams are worth 50% of my final grade. That is no small sum. Thankfully and scarily I only have two more weeks of exams left and two more days to study for my first two exams (yikes). I am...
The Business End
Hey ho, Here we are, now hitting the honey flavoured crunch that comes with the end of the semester and I'm more swamped than Shrek. 3 Assignments, 4 Tests and 2 Performances to cram into the next 3 weeks. It's fair to say it's time to fire up. By this I mean I've...
