Welcome home, fellow struggling Monashians! New sem, new you but same old routine of dreading to get out of bed to sit in a lecture you only have a 5-minute attention span for and trying to decide on a place for lunch knowing you’d end up eating in the school’s cafeteria anyway (Thank god for…

With the blink of an eye, our rather short semester break is now over and we are now back on campus, in the midst of reacclimating to the rigour that is uni life. To welcome us back, the Monash University Student Association (MUSA) organised a back to school carnival from Tuesday, 24 July 2018 to…

It’s that time of the semester again! The familiar feeling of sleep deprivation, lethargy from all the mini panic attacks you get throughout the day because: if you don’t get through this degree, you’re not going to get a job; and if you don’t get a job then you won’t have financial freedom; and that…

Thanks to Hollywood, most of us seem to be entrenched with the idea that photoshoots are just fun and glamorous, nothing else. MEC decided to provide the students of Monash with a more realistic approach towards creating a ~*lewk*~ and making sure that not only does it look good on Instagram, but also looks fantastic…

“Is this a speed dating event?” asked a passerby at the sight of the pairs of chairs arranged closely together with a small table in between at the Foyer. With red tablecloths, red and black balloons in addition to the soothing soft beats playing from the speaker, it was not surprising that a number of…

On the 7th of May 2018, the Monash Performing Arts Club (MPAC) hosted their 8th semi-annual Night of Drama, right here on campus. Essentially, this event allowed members of MPAC to showcase their talents. At the start of the semester, the members are grouped up and are tasked to come up with short plays roughly…

Editor’s Note: Here’s our special guest-written piece by MEWS! More of their content can be found here! It was a quiet Saturday of Week 7 in the Monash campus until you approached the badminton court where you’re met with blaring music and the smell of buttery popcorn. Open the door and you would find people…

You know that friend who didn’t seem particularly interested in performing… until she went overseas and started appearing in every Malaysian Night production? This is what I would imagine how our diverse population of international students felt during our annual Monash Cultural Night. It’s hard not to amp up your patriotism when you’re overseas, and…

The best way for one to become educated about the world around is to experience the world first hand, to see the different cultures and lifestyles up close. With a diverse population existing in Monash, our university is a melting pot of different cultures, each one unique in its own aspect. What differentiates one societal…

Any decent person would know better than to tell a woman what she can or cannot wear, or whether her choice of clothing determines the odds of getting harassed. The Wom*ns Officers’ Denim Dance was not only a celebration towards that statement but also brought together a crowd indigo-loving for some good fun. The event…

Over the earlier parts of Week 7, you might have noticed the small, quaint MUSA Week booth decked with pastel sticky notes. With the use of good ol’ classical conditioning, students were prompted with cookies in exchange for their feedback, complaints and suggestions written on Post-its. All queries given were meant to be brought up…

“Adapt or die.” That was the concluding advice on entrepreneurship given by the CEO (or Solutionist, as he prefers to be called) of Major Drop, Lim Sheng Feixiang. Together with Danny New, the Brand Manager of Pestle and Mortar Clothing, and Chin Renyi, the co-founder of MyBurgerLab, they shared their perspectives during Starting Up A…

Last Saturday was a very special day for the Monash Malaysia’s IChemE club. It has been SEVEN years since the first event that brought together IChemE student chapters from universities around Malaysia. No, it wasn’t an event where a bunch of engineers sit around and design model airplanes. We have fun too! And what better…
