    HAY GUYS! The Unions are sick of small crowds

    I'm a lefty.... but I wouldn't say I am far left, e.g. uni politics scares me away sometimes... So I guess I would be moderate left. When I did that political compass thing I was in the middle of the left thing.... like halfway across to the left and halfway down the liberalism scale.

    Is cutting courses bad for Australian universities?

    Argh as someone who studies something which often gets thrown in to the cappuccino courses category fairly frequently (which is BS spread by people who don't value the humanities in my opinion), I think that cutting down courses at universities is EXTREMELY detrimental to the development of...

    HAY GUYS! The Unions are sick of small crowds

    It's not really rent a crowd because the clubs are funded by the union.... hence they should be pro USU logically. Its just a matter of encouraging people to come to the rallies, because students can be so apathetic and lazy. Man I was at the UTS Gym today, and they have a sign up showing...

    Schapelle Corby - Innocent or Gulity?

    At first I didn't know what to think of the situation, but after reading extensively about it, I formed my opinion, just as you have formed yours. Even if you think she is guilty, how can you say that she has had a fair trial when there was so much mishandling of evidence etc? And isn't the...

    Is education a right?

    It depends on your notion of what purpose imprisonment should perform. I personally think that stripping people of their rights/dignity leads them to reliance on the system.... I think a system that rehabilitates criminals needs to give them skills to allow them to be successful members of...

    Schapelle Corby - Innocent or Gulity?

    http://www.smh.com.au/news/World/This-is-the-end-of-my-life/2005/04/21/1114028489301.html This is gut-wrenching stuff. Imagine your whole life being taken away from you at such a young age. You can see the anguish in her eyes. If she is found guilty, it is truly a travesty. The...

    Yeah a guy that I work with just had a friend die from meningococcal.... he went to the hospital feeling ill, then 6 hours later he passed away. He was only 20. It was very sad. Yeah it can be passed on to family members. If someone in your family has it then the whole family is supposed...

    losing weight at GYM?

    I recently joined the UTS Gym and have been going about three times a week.... too early to see any physical results, but I feel good after finishing a work out. So hard to fit in at the moment with three jobs + uni, but I should have more time for it soon. UTS Gym is so cheap, it's great...

    say no to...

    I think that the best thing about fashion is that everyone can show who they are a bit.... I have friends who dress up in kinda kooky retro clothes, but it suits them and I think that is cool... also people that wear punk/goth stuff, it can suit them, where if I wore it I would look like an...

    how does one write a conclusion for a modern essay!?

    I agree with hello.... If you have an essay structure where you have say, 4 main points that you discuss, then your conclusion basically consists of restating the four main points, tying them together and stating how that answers the essay question basically. It can be easy to lose track of...

    Interview Tactics

    Go in to an interview knowing you are capable of doing the job on offer. Then just convince the interviewer that is the case. Or go in knowing you are going to get the job. I think that confidence comes through in the interview. Also, smile and be really nice to people.... don't be...
