Although everyone has different experiences, one thing most students who’ve went for study abroad programs can agree on is this: regretting that they didn’t find out about it earlier and visited more countries. Psychology student Dominic Lung was one of the lucky ones, as he found out about study abroad programs very early on in his degree. Now in his third year, he has spent a whole year travelling AND gaining credits for his degree at the same time.

Ask any student and they’ll tell you that getting through university is not easy. It’s not as simple as staying on top of your workload. With this stage of life comes new responsibilities and the stress of learning how to cope in a different environment. It’s already as difficult as it is, but for the thousands of international students, this also means dealing with the stress of adapting to a new country, learning in a foreign language and being apart from their family. It’s no wonder that some of them try to pay people to do their assignments for them.

WeChat is undeniably the largest social media and messaging app in the Chinese community, with a record 1 billion monthly users reached in March 2018. More than 2.5 million Australians are believed to be using the app, with more than 10,000 shops and restaurants in the country already using WeChat as a mode of payment, according to the ABC. As such, it comes as no surprise that politicians are using WeChat as a medium to reach out to voters this election, especially in the Melbourne seat of Chisholm, where 19.7 per cent of the population have Chinese ancestry and 15.6 per cent speak Mandarin, according to the 2016 Census.

While the stage play of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has been widely acclaimed by critics and fans alike, the screenplay in book form was not so well received. Many trashed it, calling it “fan fiction” and questioning the many plot holes. But how did the play fare?

There are all sorts of detoxes out there, ranging from the commonly found health detox (which has actually been debunked as a myth), to digital detox, home detox, and relationships detox. Apart from removing all the toxins from your body, the term ‘detox’ is also used as a catchall phrase for removing something harmful from your life nowadays. But for all the fuss over detoxes, there’s one sort of detox that hasn’t been talked about enough – the financial detox.

Why the taboo when it comes to talking money? For most people it comes down to being embarrassed about silly mistakes they’ve made, for others it comes from not wanting to share and put people offside and for some, it’s just because they’ve been taught that talking about money is impolite. We want to seem like we’re nailing it at life, keeping up with the Jones’ and so we dig ourselves deeper and deeper into a cycle of debt – rather than prioritising the boring stuff like budgets, super and debt management.

We’re huge advocates of financial wellness. Nothing better than feeling financially secure and not have to worry about paying your bills on time. With the silly season upon us, for many it’s a very expensive time of year. It’s not just the myriad of parties and drinks you have to attend, but the pressure of buying gifts for everyone somehow remotely related to you. Before you rush off to do some last minute shopping, make sure that you have your finances in check. Don’t wake up on New Year’s Day with a financial hangover!

Red Velvet is no ordinary K-Pop girl group. When they made their debut in the K-Pop scene in 2014, the group didn’t resort to the usual cutesy or girl crush concept, but went down the bizarre and eccentric route. We've been huge fans of their colourful concept, and gladly jumped at the opportunity to interview them. Here's what went down when we met the girls.

Titled “Red Velvet ‘Rookie’ Mini Album Event in Kuala Lumpur”, the event marked the girls’ first visit to the country. Their popularity was proven when tickets to their show sold out in 20 minutes, which prompted Universal Music Malaysia to add an additional fan signing on Saturday (22nd April). As plenty couldn’t get tickets to the fan event held at Bentley Music Auditorium on Sunday (23rd April), they grabbed the chance to meet the girls a day before.
