Budget schmudget... How do you get bang for your student buck?
well i work two jobs, at myer and a crappy side job at video ezy. but im about a million percent sure that those jobs wont pay my hecs off so hopefully after uni is over i can become qualified and make myself some big bucks!
Melbourne men need to... what?
study and work and dress a little better. honestly so many guys i meet are so dumb. its all about how many girls they can get and how many cars they own. melbourne men need to understand that intelligence IS attractive.
What big issues concern you? (spare us the World Peace crap)
world peace. haha nuh i think the biggest issue in society at the moment is adolescents and their drug abuse. a majority of the people i know have been on, taken or are still taking drugs and a few have let it take over their lives. ive lost contact with best friends because they chose drugs, theres so much you can do but honestly never enough. i had a really close girl friend who got into drugs and its been about two years and she has pretty much been through doing it every night and now cut down to every weekend some week days. we stopped talking because of it but are on talking terms again, her social life, family life and life in general changed. she left university, ran away from home, lost her job and cracked it at her friends every time they questioned her. and i actually wish i was over exaggerating, but im not. drug abuse is a major issue, it can ruin everything.
Name three songs that describe you?
smile like you mean it - the killers i am woman - helen reddy ain't no mountain high enough - marvin gaye
Why should you be Miss Univers-ity?
WELL.. i believe i should be miss university because i can balance between going to university and actually getting good marks, being able to work two jobs so pretty much working most days and having a pretty great f*#!ing social life. Im studying a double degree of psychology and occupational therapy and i love it, im really looking foward to finishing studying. I see my friends most days of the week and every weekend it time to go out. My life at the moment is jam packed but i love it! also ive been slowly trying to save to go overseas and buy clothes and actually have money but balancing between uni and social life can cause me to become a little on the poorer side sometimes. AND the prizes seem soooooooooooooooooooooo great! they would be so awesome and take off such a load.
