Uni is about more than lectures, tutorials and assessment deadlines. Semester 2 is already moving along, and soon you will be caught up in exam fever. Now is the perfect time to make the most of the opportunities, experiences and connections available to you before the year wraps up. Here are some things to try:
Attend an event you’ve never been to
Whether it’s a workshop, careers event, club activity or campus celebration, challenge yourself to attend at least one event outside your normal routine. You might discover a new interest, meet like-minded people or learn something that helps your studies or future career.
Find events using our Student Events Calendar
Find your perfect study spot
Every campus has hidden gems. This semester, explore a new library space, quiet study area, outdoor location or Study Hub. Sometimes a change of scenery is all it takes to boost your focus and motivation.

Learn something beyond your course
Uni is a great time to explore skills outside your degree. Attend a careers workshop, learn a new digital tool, volunteer, join a club or take advantage of opportunities that help you grow personally and professionally.

Prioritise your wellbeing
Look after yourself during the winter season. Instead of hunkering down, make time for activities that support your mental and physical health. Go for a walk, spend time with friends, attend a wellbeing activity or simply schedule regular breaks from study.
If you need wellbeing support, free counselling and support services are available to all students, no matter where you are studying.
Create a memory you’ll remember after graduation
Try something new before the semester ends. Visit a new part of the state, attend a university event, join a social activity or take part in something you’ve been putting off. Years from now, you probably won’t remember every assignment, but you’ll remember the experiences that made university life memorable.

Finish the semester strong
Before SWOTVAC and exams arrive, set one academic goal you’d like to achieve this semester. Whether it’s improving a grade, staying on top of weekly readings or seeking support when you need it, small actions now can set you up for success at the end of semester. Pick a few goals, challenge yourself to step outside your comfort zone and make Semester 2 one to cherish!
