Hey there, So I thought it could be useful for you to see what it is like the day of an exam at university, so you know what to expect. In this vlog, I show my day and how I get ready to sit my marketing exam. I am also dyslexic, and that is why you will see in this...
Before I started uni, I would have done anything to see a day in the life of a student with the combination of Gender Studies and Communication, so here is a day in the life of my experience doing a Bachelor of Arts in Gender Studies and...

It’s May already! Now almost halfway through my second year at uni, I’ve had some time to go through some highlights of life as a law student in Auckland. Here are some of my favorite moments, exploring my new city and getting to know all the lovely people...
