Examination Period

Hello to all Monash students, we would like to remind you guys that examination periods are just round the corner. Hopefully, everyone has not been burning the midnight oil as consistent studying will not stress you out. Anyways, this post is also to remind the students that the welfare committee is here to help out in anyway possible through these stressful times.

Here are some tips on how to manage the examination stress:-
  1. Take a 10-15 minute study break once a while to allow for better studying rhythm
  2. Have group studies to help one another to cope with the subjects you are not doing so well in.
  3. Listening to music helps for some people. Recommended song : Pachelbel - Canon in D ( It supposedly tunes your brain waves to the alpha wave which is the optimum brain wave for studying)
  4. Eating basically anything. Help cheer you up anytime for any situation but be conscious of what you are eating. You can indulge but in moderation.

The Welfare Division of MUSA would like to wish everyone Good Luck for the coming final examination period. All the Best!

Shout Out!

This post is in response to the query being made by a hostel student through the Monash Voice Out.

He/She has stated that there are problems regarding the Internet speed in their respective hostel. The problem that we encountered is, the hostelite committee doesn't know which hostel this student is referring to. Therefore, this is to inform the student that he can contact us again either through this blog or e-mailing us @ monashhostelite@gmail.com regarding which hostel he/she is staying in so that we can bring this up to the management.

In addition, hostel students are also encouraged to attend this semester's second MUSA Student Forum if there are any complaints which they would like the hostelite committee to hear about. The details are as stated below:
