Glamour, colour, energy, and vibrance. These were the things that made the parties of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Jay Gatsby legendary. These were also the things that made Monash Cultural Night 2023 a night to remember. As an international student living away from my home country for the first time, something that has been of utmost…

Waking up in a dream
Our dreams shine the brightest when the night is the darkest. The darker it gets, the clearer the dream itself becomes. On the night of 26th of May, the illusions danced along with the rhythms at the Monash tennis court during Monash Business Club’s Lucid Dream event. Misty evening diffuses into the air of Monash…
The Story of Two Worlds: Chromatica Splash
Where does queerness start? It is always sunny in Malaysia. As I seek shade after walking in the sun for a while, the surroundings suddenly dim and my vision temporarily blacks out. During the trance, the world evaporates into soft shades of black. There is a light dizziness, but it is pleasant. The blackout lasts…
MUMPAC: Night of Drama
A week ago, I dolled myself up and made it on time for Nights of Drama, which, if you haven’t heard, was an outstanding success.

MUSA Welfare: Let’s Manage Our Stress!

MUSA DID WHAT #3: THE ONE WHERE THE SUN SETS ON GENERAL SECRETARY
Head Writer: I would like to preface this article by saying that in my two (or three, I guess) years of being in MUSA I have never seen such a messy Monash Student Council Meeting and I hope I never have to sit through another one of these again. If any of you remember my…
New Beginnings
Monash Music Club certainly kicked off a “New Beginning” of the semester for Monashians on the 10th of March as they brought in local indie pop band, RESORT as headliners for, what I can arguably say was one of the best performances (and nights) in my time here as a student. Despite the torrential downpour…
