These past few weeks have been so exciting with events run by Student Wellbeing, Adelaide University Union and student clubs. It’s been fantastic meeting new friends and trying out new things.

There is nothing quite like those group meetings late at night in the basement of Napier building, snacks scattered around, laptops running low and a midnight deadline looming...
Have I taken on too much recently?

This year has been the biggest and busiest year of my entire life. I have honestly never had so much going on at once, and I'm scared that maybe I've taken on a bit too much that I initially thought I could handle.
Regret: the road not taken

As my degree nears its finish, I reflect on the invisible paths ahead of me – which path should I take?

Adelaide’s hidden Japanese gem
Adelaide’s Himeji Garden located in South Terrace is a whimsical daydream that I’m so glad I visited. Was I the only one who didn’t realise Adelaide had this garden?

Mid semester break is the perfect opportunity to catch up with friends, visit somewhere new, or perhaps stay out partying. However, this can be so exhausting.
Snacking

What’s your go-to snack? I usually reach for a banana or an apple when I’m peckish in between meals.
