Jessica: Changing the game

No comments :
One of the biggest challenges as a first year student, in my opinion, is to put yourself out there and dive into completely new opportunities you’d never had a chance to experience during your high school years. In particular, professional networking events are probably the most...

Mangala: The year of surprises

No comments :
Fridays are possibly the longest day of the week for me. There are (almost) back-to-back lectures from 11am to 6pm – I guess this is the price for having two days off. However, I do love Fridays as I have two one-hour breaks, and I use these breaks to study, and to also catch up...

Mangala: Committee perks

No comments :
Today began a bit unusually - I found myself reflecting and pondering on life at Monash at 4:30 AM (yes, you read that right!). I had committed myself to an all-nighter in order to finish an accounting assignment. I had actually gone over the word limit and it’s literally taking...
