News: Student life
Shall we have a cuppa?
I am obsessed with tea! I鈥檝e never really been into coffee, much to mum鈥檚 dismay and surprise to literally everyone I meet, but alas, that鈥檚 just the way it is with us tea lovers. It all started on my Year 12 Retreat four years ago, and has only expanded since then with trying new and delicious tea's from one of my favourite shops, T2! There are so many health benefits to drinking tea, read this blog to find out more!聽
How can we live more sustainably?
Recently, I鈥檝e been thinking a lot about how to live more consciously and sustainably.
Here鈥檚 my list of 鈥淩ealistic鈥 goals for this year (as well as the far future)
These are the things I鈥檓 most excited about doing in the near and far future! From getting fit to spending less time on my phone, traveling, and more! Think of this as an unfortunately "realistic" bucket list, since we can't really go anywhere at the moment. I hope this inspires you to write your own, and keep these goals in the back of your mind as you live your life!聽

A guide on where to study
If, like me, you're one of those people who can't study just anywhere, here's a list of my top study spots.聽
What do our routines say about us?
Routines can聽help form our sense of self. But what happens when our habits fail us? What聽happens when we fall out of our regular routine?
Getting out into the Fringe
It鈥檚 fringe time again and as always, Adelaide comes to life! However, I have barely seen or done anything. 聽Deep down I know I want to be experiencing more of the arts and culture fever that infects the city this time of year.
Student budget hacks
I think I've written a lot about the many aspects of wellbeing throughout the various posts here, and I've just recently realised that I've not written about finances at all. It's quite a tricky subject, but nevertheless, I think it's a crucial aspect of wellbeing. Bills and fees are sources of stress for most of us after all. I think, like with mental wellbeing, a good place to start is to have good habits in place. Mindfulness and meditation are good daily practices which give us the ability to better weather challenging times in our life. Creating a budget allows you to prioritise the things you value, such as:
The trouble with 'dreaming big'
As kids, we鈥檙e told to dream big. We鈥檙e told that if we put our minds to it, we can achieve anything. But has the emphasis on聽achieving our dreams helped us, or hindered us?
Buying a car
Over the holidays I finally passed my P1 test! After all these years the state government driving assessors have decided to let this lunatic on the roads. Now, I am no longer asking 鈥榳ill I ever get my license鈥 but, 鈥榮hould I buy a car鈥? and 鈥榟ow do I even buy a car?鈥.
Money and meaning
The final week of summer is upon us. Although I鈥檒l be missing the glory of summer days, it鈥檚 quite exciting that the university campus will be welcoming eager young minds into its halls again. It鈥檚 the start of a new academic year, we have new leadership with a new Vice-Chancellor at the helm, and there鈥檚 the promise of new beginnings which gives hope. There鈥檚 also Mad March and then looking forward to cooling nights, indulgent pasta, and winter.
