Hi everyone, it’s me again (〃´ω`〃)! As I am writing this, I am on my flight back home for the mid-semester break ✈️ Since it’s already mid-semester, you all must be thinking (hopefully not panicking) about what specialisation you want to choose for next year 🤔☁️But never fear, Kimberley is here, and I will share…Continue Reading a beginner’s guide to choosing your specialistion (and why I chose software)
This is a little bittersweet. After finally finishing my last assignment for the semester, it’s crazy that I get the chance to reflect on my journey once more and tell you guys all about it. While I’m typing out this post, I’m reminded of what it was like for me last year. I remember carefully…Continue Reading Why should you choose software?
Have you ever done that thing? The thing where you clean your whole room during hell week because you’d rather be doing that than completing all the assignments that are due. That’s me right now, except I’m not cleaning – I’m writing this blog. After watching a bunch of people present their amazing apps in…Continue Reading Why shouldn’t you choose software?
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
Hey everyone! I’m Jess, the Software Engineering student blogger for 2021, quickly typing up this blog post in the midst of all the assignments.

Second year is…Continue Reading Deja Vu! I’ve Just Been In This Place Before (or, Semester 2 in Review)
Most of my posts so far have had a few things in common – a ridiculous title, an introduction with an unusual premise, and an AliExpress-quality sense of humour. This post has none of those things. Okay, who am I kidding. You can’t escape my jokes … just as much as I can’t escape how…Continue Reading Managing Engineering Time Abound
It’s a Tuesday night. You’re on your phone. Swiping away from your problems. Swipe, swipe swipe … you’re swiping them all right. Trying your hardest to put your best self out there. Waiting to find that perfect match. They’re out there, and you know it. You’re just waiting for one of them to realise that…Continue Reading Swiping Right on Your CV (or, Getting a Software Internship)
Your phone dings – it’s a message from your mate. “Where are you?” You step off of your bus and bump into a friend on Symonds Street. “I haven’t seen you in months!” You scamper to your 8am ELECTENG 101 lecture, one minute late. “You must go to the overflow room.” Or maybe none of…Continue Reading Study Spaces (or, Semester 1 in Review)
