If you have mates in second or third year, you’ve probably seen them getting stressed about internships in the past couple weeks. Indeed, internship has been on practically everyone’s mind. The Faculty recommends doing one internship after second year, and another one after the third, so no doubt people would be in a frenzy. Equally,…Continue Reading Internship Interdictions
Welcome back everyone, and I hope you are all finding ways to stay motivated and healthy during this lockdown! Because personally, I’m starting to look more and more like my cat-friend Jerry over there. As the end of semester two fast approaches, I thought I’d give you all a rundown of the four papers I…Continue Reading Siri, set timer for 3 weeks!
Internships… The only thing that anyone seems to be talking about at the moment. If you don’t know already, you are required to do 800 practical hours throughout your engineering degree. This is typically done in two sets of 400 hours over the summer between your second and third year and your third and fourth…Continue Reading This is how hundreds of engineering students are finding internships for FREE…

And back into lockdown we go… This semester will be my fourth that COVID19 has impacted, but this one has hurt the most.

Who would’ve thought we’d be starting and ending this year with online learning. To be honest, I don’t know how I would have survived the last week before mid-semester break without the much needed extension for assignments. They don’t call it “hell week” for no reason :’)) With all my assignments and tests done for…Continue Reading software reviews: semester one
Before I delve into the depths of Engineering Science, I thought I would outline the cool adventures and opportunities Engineering Science has to offer. Friends! I thought I would mention briefly about my time during lockdown as a first year engineering student. Unlike most others, lockdown was my favourite period last year due to…Continue Reading Fun times in EngSci!
Hello, lockdown whatever number we’re up to now! The lack of new social interactions and activities lockdown brings always makes my brain gift me with memories I had thought well and truly blocked. I’m reliving the most awkward conversations I’ve ever had, the worst tutorials I’ve sat through by myself, the weird eye contact I…Continue Reading Sem 1 paper run
We’re in lockdown. Again. Back to 3am bedtimes and 12pm wake-ups. Back to having an endless amount of time, to do… absolutely nothing. Speaking of doing nothing, to procrastinate for my test in 2 days I thought I’d finally get to writing the next highly-anticipated instalment of my blogs. As promised, here’s a run-down of…Continue Reading Have a Break, Have a Kit-Kat: A Reflection on Semester 1
Greetings! Seeing the mid-sem test season’s about to begin, why not read a couple blog posts? Might make a good break in between your studies 🙃. Now, I know my first post is a bit… unconventional, so it’s fitting to do a follow up here. This time, less narration, more opinions. Firstly, a proper introduction…Continue Reading A Reasonable Approximation of Mech
