In the last few weeks we have seen student activism become more prevalent. Protest appears to be on the rise and the employment possibilities for graduates is evolving and changing. This video raises interesting facts about student debt and the way people live their lives while at university.

This video was created by Michael Wesch in collaboration with 200 students at Kansas State University.

One thing I've learnt at University is that students are more interesting and do better when they have something else to focus on- for example homepageDAILY. 

That something else that students do, which is separate from University gives them a different base of experience to bring to discussion, and a new filter through which new information is dissected. 

It's my belief then that university should be the place where you think, consider and criticise- not the place where you gain your most transformative and life-defining experiences.   . . read more

Call me naive but I never really thought about what I'd do after I graduated until this year, my last year at university. I had always stupidly assumed that it wouldn't be that difficult to find a job.

Come now and there's a growing realisation that offers won't be flooding in and that if I want to do something great - I'll need to use my iniative. 

A bit annoying after having attended a university which constantly told me how employable I was. 

Turns out not, I'll be dealing with human resources people - a name that wants me to murder people because it makes me feel like a fleshy mineral that's going to be exploited until I'm completely drained of wealth.

I'll have to go to stupid careers day getting business cards and 'networking'. 

And then finally I'll have to weigh up my options and probably have to stay on in university because having a Bachelor in International Studies means absolutely nothing when there are thousands of Honours and Masters graduates lining up for the same positions.

Cheers to finding a chair when the music stops.

For any graduates or soon-to-be graduates, hows the job hunting going? Are you finding it difficult? Tell us and remember...Disqus!   . . read more

The magic ingredient is that Australia can choose its player to be Andrew Symonds (the man said to be racially slurred) – his cap can be immortalized in the I. O. Ashes and both nations can then battle for the honour of winning this symbolic trophy. Sport can be a great bond between nations but we need something to take the teams beyond the gameplay and mark a new period in the interstate relationships of two important countries.  . . read more
