I haven't had the pleasure of meeting first years yet and I've had a pretty busy time of it-every day seems prety amazing not only in the way it goes so fast but also how everything seems so strange. Take this for example-when you think about how you are now-as a 20 something or 18-19 year old-you weren't always like this. In fact we weren't around before this time and to think what we were created from is pretty amazing-the Qur'an goes through this process and it's only further emphasised ...
O week has always been great not just for first years but for 3rd 4th etc years-however this year I was very disappointed by the lack of freebies-particularly at the Harvey Norman stall which did not give away USBs and other items as it did in the past. Some fellow 4th years and I went on a bit of a rampage around the stalls collecting all things free and not so valuable including dabbling in the latest in noodle design as well as spinning several wheels to get our NAB and Commonwealth bank(which ...
The structure at uni as most of first years know(despite not having experienced it) is free for all-whether you turn up to lectures or not it doesn't really matter.

When I first began, I ...
So say you have come into O week and made the most of it. The next step is for you to start the lectures and university. This is perhaps the hardest part of beginning uni-the lectures and tutorials (this is from a science related perspective). When you first start tutorials you'll notice that everyone sits separately (almost-late people can't). This is a clear indication of everyone being as nervous as you are-try not to think negative when you attempt to start a conservation-the person is hoping ...
First year students will inshallah be starting in march. To be honest I have never blogged before and have never been a great supporter due to the fact it may be a potential time waster. But there are some experiences entries etc that may help ease the new kids on the block into uni life. The HSC has finished-that's it right? I'm sure that you've all worked hard and inshallah are beginning the degree that you have hoped for or perhaps you are working towards a postgraduate degree ...
