Semester One 2017’s Engineering Buddy-Buddee Night will not be forgotten anytime soon, thanks to John’s impromptu lap dance, immortalised here in steamy fashion by my fellow writer Larissa. Semester Two’s BBN was definitely no slouch, a repeat of  everyone’s favourite male burlesque being just one of the highlights. The traditional Library rooftop venue was unavailable, so…

Well, who knew that there were so many social butterflies in Monash? There were at least 139 of them at the Flash Friends event organized by the Activities department, which was held in the Foyer on Friday the 4th of August. The event, or as one person described it, “Tinder, but for friends” (or apparently…

Ever wondered what it would feel like to have the raft you built turn over a 180 degrees, tossing you over into the murky water in the middle of a sad-looking lake? Well me neither. But it happened. And just like life in general, horrible stuff happens. And that’s okay. Unless you can’t swim and…

“I go in hard and dry, I come out wet and soft,” was one of the many riddles us, Editors, had set for our MUSA Day station game. The other stations manned by MUSA members were just as creative (read: sick), as they welcomed the new Monash students from different schools with water guns, balls…

Or maybe it’s one of those days where you felt lazy to wear a cute outfit because you’d have to change for Frisbee/futsal/badminton/basketball training after classes. Well, I don’t know what MUSA was thinking, but if…

Picture yourself slathering on sunscreen while lazing on a perfect white-sand beach covered in coconut palms that gives way to emerald waters and coral gardens.
