About a month ago, I turned the big two-one. I had a wonderful party with all my family (we weren’t in Auckland, don’t worry; no COVID violations here) and a lovely weekend away with my parents and brothers. I even made my own birthday cake. No one ever...

Welcome back to the homemade documentary where medical students embark on their five-year-long journey (six if you include biomed and even longer if you completed a degree beforehand). Feel free to check out part one if you have not done so already! Again, please note...

The first day medical school! What a throwback. It was definitely an experience. Much of the day was spent going through what to expect from medical school and how it all works. The highlight for us was the Whakanoa ceremony in the Human Anatomy Lab. Everyone was...

If there’s one thing someone took away that would completely transform my first-year experience (apart from uni), it’s empathy. Away from home and in an unfamiliar environment, the first year is full of moments out of our comfort zone. No one knows us. We can’t rely...
