War Amongst The People of MUSA (MUSA Wars 2018)
8.45 in the morning, I found myself sitting in the MUSA Office, staring blindly at the wall. The thought of why I had woken up so early on a Saturday morning pondering on my mind. Then I heard someone scream, “Registration is now open!”. I dragged myself off the chair to get myself registered. Only…

With Earth Day being just around the corner (22nd April to be exact), campaigns on environmental protection are doubled to serve as reminders for the ones who contribute the most to Earth’s pollution – us.

Glow Up In The Dark
For most of us here, week 5 is normally regarded as ‘stress week’, seeing as some of the units (unless you’re unlucky like me, then all of the units) has an assignment or test due. On Thursday of this week, the Monash University Student Association (MUSA) hosted the Glow Up event. Essentially, it was a…

Mubashshira’s Full Glam Transformation!
Editor’s Note: In a world that’s so divided between those who prefer women ‘in their natural, makeup free’ state, and the women (and men) who pack on a beacon’s worth of light on their cheekbones, we were pleasantly surprised at an entry that celebrates the latter. Mubashshira’s fantastic recreation of NikkieTutorials’ *inhales* blue -spotlight-halo-smokey-eye-look showcases…
Obsession: Vined
Editor’s Note: For our very first thematic month competition, we’ve decided to explore the extremely personal theme of ‘Obsession’. After much internal deliberation, we settled on Katherine Khaw’s ‘Vined’, a delicate poem that not only showcases her obsession and adoration, but successfully blurs the fine line between a gentle caress and a chokehold. Perhaps, she’s…
C&S Review: Monash Dance Fusion Club
This week I tried out Monash Dance Fusion Club. Well to be more specific, since I couldn’t exactly go for all the classes they offer (of which there are loads), I tried out their beginner Jazz class. Having no solid dance experience and terrible coordination, I was feeling anxious and somewhat terrified. Dance was something…

D, E, F of Monash
