G’day mate!

I’m Madeleine, 20 this year, and majoring in Communications & Media and Anthropology at the University of Western Australia. Being able to study in Perth is probably one of the biggest blessings in my life, and I can’t wait to share more about my thoughts and experiences while living here.

Fun facts that you don’t need to know but we include anyway because why not it’s called fun facts for a reason:

1. I’m really short. All three of us are petite. But I’m the shortest one.
2. I’m an Aquarius and very proud to be one!
3. I can sleep without a pillow, but I absolutely need a comforter/ blanket.
4. I don’t really (like to) eat veggies, but I am willing to swallow sambal kangkong and broccoli and lettuce. If I feel like it.
5. There isn’t a day that goes by without playing foosball (unless there’s no foosball table available). With my friends in Unihall, foosball is an everyday after-dinner activity. 

Lately, I’ve been more of a listener than a talker, because I enjoy learning about people’s stories and their opinions. I have relatively uncommon ideas about life that I may share with you personally, if I feel that you will respect my beliefs. I don’t usually reveal a lot about myself and my thoughts, so contributing to a blog like this is, frankly, quite terrifying. But I am up for it and really excited about it.

So, that’s a few paragraphs worth of an awkward introduction. I never know what’s interesting to mention about myself, although I do pepper my sentences with this pronoun too often. I’m neither a talented writer (like Stella) nor an intriguing person (like Jeanie), but hopefully you’ll find my entries as inspiring/ entertaining as theirs, or at least enough to keep returning to this space.

Have a great one,
