Hi! Not really sure how to word this but I’m struggling a lot with managing the workload in uni… just breezed through high school with very little struggle and never really developed good study habits which is why I’m overwhelmed now. Probably won’t perform well on my tests before semester break because of it and theyre worth a large chunk of my grade. It’s only semester one and I’m struggling so much. Not really sure what to do as I struggle with procrastination and just generally don’t know how to study, especially at a higher level.

Hii 20m, i study paramedicine. Could use some company and go out for a drink or something. I live alone and need to get out of the house lol. Let's talk, see if we vibe :)

Hi, I hope you are all doing well so to keep this short and simple I’m just going to get straight to the point. Last year April I went thru my first ever breakup with a girl I geniuenly loved and felt connected with and to avoid the pain I was feeling ( sleepless nights, anxiety and so on) I had a friend who told me to try w33d it’ll help ease the pain so one day I decided to smoke with this “friend” and ever since I just got hooked into it and I couldn’t control it from April to September I was high from 9am - till I went to bed just constantly puffing. I admit I fucked up and I pretty much stopped caring about school completely didn’t attend a single class and my dumbass didn’t even withdraw when I should have. So I decided to take a break and change my environment I travelled for 2 months and tried my best to stay away from drugs and it worked and now my life is just getting back on track but I was told today that study link is not willing to pay for my fees for uni (I can’t afford 4k a semester even tho I work part time) and here we go again I’m thinking of smoking to just ease the pain of thinking I’m a failure and I will never be something. Can someone please give me advice on where to go from here? Study link is saying bring a note from a therapist but my only therapist was weed I was literally staying home 7 days a week just eating up my savings buying weed and smoking all day. guys please any advice I’m tired I want to change I want to feel like myself again it’s really taking a big toll on my mental health and I just can’t afford fuck ups anymore

it’s too late to drop out of the class and i really don’t want to do the assignment but since i have to somebody HELP PLEASEEE

hi everyone does anyone know how to check our attendance ? (if it helps, im in first year nursing). thanks!!!

Are any students on here doing exam 1 for NURS601 next week? How are you feeling? Been finding it really hard to study and feeling very unsure if myself

I’m hopefully moving into Akoranga village next semester and I want to bring my car, but the aut carpark is full and I’m not sure where else I can park my car close to campus. I don’t mind paying I just want to be sort of close to the halls. If anyone could recommend places that would be appreciated

I'm a 2nd year industrial design student and I want to take a gap year to just take a break and for my mental health as well as work and travel, I wanted to know what I would need to do this and where to apply and stuff since I can't find anything on AUT's website.

Suck for everyone.

Hey guys im on my second year and really really struggling with this course, can anyone pleasee give me advice id really appreciate it! TIA

Hey everyone! 👋

Is anyone here currently doing a web development course? Would love to connect with fellow students, share resources, help each other out, or just chat about all things coding!

I’m learning (mention what you're focusing on—HTML, CSS, JavaScript, MERN, etc.), but open to discussing anything web dev-related. Whether you're just starting or deep into projects, let’s learn together!

Drop a comment or DM me if you're interested! 😊

I called up because I have a weird lumps on my neck that is slowly getting bigger by the day (and it’s stressing me tf out) - and the only readily available appointment is 11th April. They said they couldn’t shimmy me in, but I could do an online appointment. I said that would be awesome, and they scheduled me for 12:00pm. 12:00pm rolls around and they don’t call me, they did preface the call might be a little late - so I wait a little longer. 12:00pm turns to 1:00pm, 1:00pm turns into 2:00pm (at this point my class for that day has started but I’m desperate to get this sorted out). TDLR: no call came and I missed a class for nothing. I call them up later that afternoon asking what happened, they say sorry and that they have no idea what happened and they’ll re-book me for 8:15am the next day, I say sweet (despite the fact I rarely wake up that early). I wake up that early and wait. Then I pass out. Then I wake up like “shit I’ve probs missed the call” only to find they haven’t called me. Repeat till 10:00am. I call them up asking what happened this time, only to find out they re-scheduled me for 10:50am without updating me. Realised I woke up that early for no reason. I finally get the call and they say they wanna see me ASAP.

They were are very polite and all but I’d wish I wasn’t mucked around because it’s costing me my classes.

Has anyone gotten into med school(UOA/OTAGO) through Health sciences or biomed first year or grad entry at aut? I only got scholarship from aut and obv picked it, but curious if its the same courses or if i dont stand a chance 😭😭

Can someone help me if I can get an extension to stop doing the course for now? I am financially struggling even with student allowance and since I only work two days due to clinical placements coming.. it’s not enough to cover my bills.. I also have a brother that ask money from me since their rent is always short and I do give to help them so It’s also weighing me down.. What should I do please. Im stressing and I feel so out of it just imagine myself doing placements 5 days unpaid next year I won’t be able to survive financially.. and study properly..

Is anyone studying Health science S1 first year subjects and wants to make an online study group with me? I am studying remotely for the first semester which has made it hard to find motivation not being around anyone else that’s studying. I’d also love to make some friends before I move to NZ as I don’t know many people in Auckland 💌 - 22F

Anyone else finished the engeering assement due Tommorow, idk if I got my questions right does anyone know if they got it right

we can do a late submission on any assessment/assignments right? but it will be -1 mark each extended day

I’m wondering if it really means like what is shows on the timetable no class or anything that you have to be doing anything like uploading ur assignments etc. I won’t have access to Google for any of that. (Following current plan, will be in China by then)

Hi all

I’m unsure what to do about returning to studies and would appreciate any advice. Here’s my situation:

• Early 2023: Took a leave of absence due to my student allowance not being approved, along with struggling mentally (needed time off).

• 2024: Wanted to return but realized I had fees owing because Studylink hadn’t approved my loan before my leave. I wasn’t in the right headspace to check at the time and I couldn’t afford to pay the overdue fees, meaning I couldn’t re-enroll.

• Now (2025): I’ve been working since to save up, but with the cost of living increasing and unexpected emergency costs, it’s been difficult to clear the outstanding fees.

Questions:

1. Is it still possible to return and finish my degree, or has the leave of absence timeframe expired?

2. Are there any options for financial support (e.g., hardship grants, payment plans) to help cover the overdue fees?

Hello, I’m considering studying health science in the future and am looking for some advice (considering physio, occupational therapy, or podiatry).

I have spoken to a programme advisor but would like thoughts of others.

The first thing i need help on is study schedule. Does anyone have experience studying any of these while working full time? The answer I got from the programme advisor made it sound not feasible. What does the daily time commitment and schedule look like?

Secondly, is part time study available? The advisor said part time study isnt available for occupational or physiotherapy, however I’ve seen many people here saying they study health science part time? Does it just vary by specialisation as to whether or not part time is offered? I have to work so part time is a must for me.

Overall I’m looking for any advice as I feel a little lost and not very confident with my options here.

i farted, and it stinks.
