UoN student Sarah says "I love Lucy"
Finally after so many weeks of study, assignments and exams it’s holiday time! But what are you doing these holidays? We’ve decided to share some of our student experiences.
Sarah is completing a Business degree with a double major in Management and Human Resources at the Central Coast Campus. After a long and challenging semester, she will spend her time relaxing and completing her Lucy Mentoring Program.
The program is an innovative leadership program to inspire, educate and motivate women seeking leadership positions in the workforce. It was introduced after the NSW Government made a commitment to increase the number of women employed in middle and senior management positions and has been run with the Business and Law Faculty of UoN since 2007.
Sarah received two host organisations for the program and is completing her hours with Inspire Success and Deborah Buckley Artesian. She looks forward to working with her mentors, who are both inspiring and successful women.
After the stresses of exam and assessment period, Sarah’s tip for students is no matter how far you are behind in a subject, make a list of priorities, put on some Bon Iver and start at number one.
“This semester I had to complete the infamous Taxation course known as ACFI3004 which has a reputation for mind explosions. But in the exam I felt better when I had organised notes compared to some who had notes everywhere. My tip is – try and stay organised and don’t have a mental breakdown if it’s exam period is looming and your notes only say Week 1, this is your chance to start organising!” says Sarah.
So are you doing anything exciting these holidays? Or is it time to sit in front of the TV and watch the entire series of David Attenborough, The Simpsons or Gossip Girl?
