NUS Module Reviews: AY2020/21 Semester 2 (Hybrid)

I have completed my second year at NUS. I stared at that sentence for at least 5 minutes. I cannot believe how fast the time has flown by. I feel bittersweet about it, but am grateful for how lucky I have been to be close to home in these trying times. This past semester, I…

An unironically, unfinished blogpost from AY2020/21 Semester 1 (Online)

20th May 2021: I started writing this last December as part of my end of semester exercise of providing module reviews but I ended up never finishing it. I don’t think I can do it justice anymore as the memories are no longer fresh in my mind. But reading back the following paragraphs, I can…

How I Plan my Modules as an NUS FASS Student! (ModReg, NUSMods, Tutorial Selection and more!)

Disclaimer: As mentioned in the title, I’m a rising y2 fass student, so this will be written with this context. I’m majoring in economics with a second major in political science. (Edit: Dropped the second major in Y2S2 lol!) Module selection time is an exciting, yet stressful period for all UG students, especially freshmen. Here,…

Why every freshie at NUS should overload.

As I mentioned in my previous blogpost, I just completed my first year at NUS. Boy, was it completely different from my expectations. Disclaimer: I am from FASS, so my POV may not apply to those from other faculties necessarily, but I belive the idea is still applicable. The details, may not be. Before I…

NUS Module Reviews: AY 2019/20 Semester 2

This rollercoaster of a semester is over! I’m bitter-sweet about it ending because as much as I am happy that my 30 MC semester is over, I feel like I could’ve performed better had I stayed on campus and the physical classes existed. I’m more disciplined within rigid structures like that and while I do…

Freshman Year Storytime + Takeaways + Tips!

I can’t believe this academic year has gone by so quickly. It really does feel like just yesterday, I stepped into my first lecture as a clueless freshie… and now I’m all done with my first year! This past semester has been on the DL mostly, and I’ve spent the majority of it cooped up…

NUS Module Reviews: AY 2019/20 Semester 1

This semester was my first one at NUS, and I was pretty set on wanting to major in economics. You’re only permitted to take 20 modular credits (MCs) in this semester, and although there is some flexibility in what modules you wish to take, I think most people end up taking a pretty similar selection….

Covid-19: A Blessing in Disguise?

4 months ago, I was eagerly looking forward to moving into my dorm room. I envisioned late night gossip sessions with my girls, decorating my room, getting to know my neighbours and finally getting to live (relatively) independently. I wanted to understand myself; my habits, my body’s own clock. What would I do when left…
