First Day back at Uni (online) Vlog | UNSW Sydney

I want to acknowledge that I live on the land of the Gadigal people. I want to acknowledge that my enjoyment of the bush and where I live, is a result of the pain and suffering of Aboriginal peoples. I am sorry and I want to pay my respects to elders past, present and emerging.

Note: I have not read/watched most of these recommendations, but as with everything, always be analytical, but also open to changing your perspective.

ABOUT:
Hi I'm Mel :) I'm a final year university student at UNSW, Sydney, who recently completed a semester-long exchange at the University of Manchester. I study Economics and Development Studies, am OBSESSED with bubble tea, enjoy scrapbooking and watch a little bit too much youtube ;). If you're wondering where 'Dear Old World' comes from, it's from the following Anne of Green Gables quote- '“Dear old world', she murmured, 'you are very lovely, and I am glad to be alive in you.”
