Nobody can guide you through university. You’re about to start something which could last anywhere from half a semester to 7 years; if all goes to plan, one day you’ll even graduate, eventually leaving campus with some sense of accomplishment, and a very expensive piece of paper.
But more importantly, we hope that by the time you leave, you’ve completely fucked up countless times, made your worst mistakes, and formed your favourite memories. University is where you get your first dose of proper life experience, and hopefully burn a few couches along the way.
Nothing will go to plan, but that’s the best part; all we can do to help is share our stories. Either learn from our mistakes or throw yourself headfirst down the same path, as long as you find some enjoyment from the following pages, we’ve done all we can.
This may not have been the motivational pep talk you were looking for. But nevertheless, welcome to Waikato, may it be everything for you that it was for us.
