Student-friendly easy breakfast ideas
Okay, so I don’t like to admit it, but sometimes it’s easier for me to skip breakfast. It’s not great because it means I get hungrier at midday and tired earlier in the day. I’ve been working at carving enough time to have a decent breakfast because I know it will allow a good start to the day.

Things we don't have to do
Sometimes we forget that we don't actually have to do what everyone else is doing just because it's normal, or because it's been ingrained into our brains as a social norm since we were babies.

It's good for you! Here's a list of things, we really don't have to do all the time.Â
Violence against women is a men's issue
It’s Safer Campus Community Week, and I'm wondering how we can hope to create a safe and respectful environment at a time when we are experiencing a global epidemic of violence against one of our most vulnerable groups: women.
Online comfort food
Now that we’ve lived in a global pandemic for over a year, it’s safe to say the well of content available online is starting to dry up, and with much of the world still in lockdown, we can’t ignore the fact that our relationship with entertainment has changed.
Getting out into the Fringe
It’s fringe time again and as always, Adelaide comes to life! However, I have barely seen or done anything.  Deep down I know I want to be experiencing more of the arts and culture fever that infects the city this time of year.

It's quite a tricky subject, but nevertheless, I think it's a crucial aspect of wellbeing. Bills and fees are sources of stress for most of us after all. I think, like with mental wellbeing, a good place to start is to have good habits in place. Mindfulness and meditation are good daily practices which give us the ability to better weather challenging times in our life.
