Hey everyone, Maadhav here, currently sitting in the library surrounded by approximately 47 pages of notes and questioning every life choice that led me to this moment. So we’ve reached it. The final stage. Everything else is done, projects submitted, reports handed in, and assignments completed. There’s nothing left between me and freedom except three…Continue Reading Exam Season: The Final Boss Battle
Idk WHY I’m getting so emotional about this! I literally have 2 more years and you guys literally have 3 more years. It only feels like yesterday I wrote my first blog, and now you’re telling me I’m writing my last one?…Continue Reading …So What Now?
Heyyyy everyone!!! Maadhav back again, writing this from what I can only describe as the eye of the storm. You know that part in movies where everything goes quiet right before absolute chaos? That’s where we are right now. All four courses are simultaneously wrapping up, which apparently means giving us ALL THE WORK at…Continue Reading The Final Stretch: Everything Everywhere All at Once
Today I’d like to talk about one of the most fundamental parts of CHEMMAT life; a type of assignment only done by us CHEMMATers, and Biomed students. So if you’re considering Biomed (in which case, go check out Iz’s blogs), listen up too! Yes, I’m talking about the fabled Lab Report. We usually do lab reports after, well, labs…obviously…and after the lab there are usually questions which we’d answer in a certain section of our report. The rest, though, is a layout of background, theory, methods, etc etc. Honestly, it makes me feel quite fancy and posh when I write one….Continue Reading The Art of The Lab Report
It is the dream of many engineering students to land a job in Australia: the land of higher pay, more opportunities and a better life. (Engineering Revue did an excellent musical parody about it this year.) While I can’t speak for the other specialisations, Software has a number of overseas opportunities with companies such as…Continue Reading How to Get An Overseas Internship (feat. an Atlassian Grad) ✈️️
Hey everyone!!! Maadhav here, currently running on four hours of sleep, two energy drinks, and the rapidly fading hope that I actually understand thermodynamics. Welcome to Week 9, also known as “midterm season,” also known as “why did I think engineering was a good idea,” also known as “please send help and maybe some functional…Continue Reading Week 9: Surviving Midterm Season (Barely)
As a Part II software student, the information I can tell you about this degree is limited, having only been in this specialisation for less than one year. When you’re choosing specialisations, it’s definitely worth considering what you might get up to during the later parts of your degree. I recommend having a look through…Continue Reading A Part III Student’s Perspective on Software
Actually, I wanna talk to you guys about friends. I’d say its a lot harder than in high school, where you make friends out of being stuck with them from 9 to 3 every weekday. Still, there are many ways you can make and keep new friends in university. If you’re worried about how you’re gonna connect with people in your second year onwards (like I definitely have), then this blog is for you….Continue Reading Finding Your Tribe
What’s good, future engineers! Maadhav back again, writing this from the sacred sanctuary of mid-semester break (aka my bedroom at 1 PM still in yesterday’s clothes because time is a social construct when you’re on break). So we’re officially halfway through Semester 2, and I figured it was time for some brutal honesty about what…Continue Reading Six Weeks In: The Mechanical Engineering Mid-Semester Truth Bomb
If you’re seeing this sentence, chances are that I pretty much speedran this ENTIRE blog. Usually, I’d be cooped up in my room on a Monday or Tuesday morning, peacefully writing at my own pace. But NOOOOOOO! University had other things in mind…and WOW, was it a hill to climb! As of writing this sentence,…Continue Reading Wow, This Blog Came Late!
