Time management is the essence of Life Management. It allows for the utilisation of time for the maximum productivity and the successful completion of tasks and goals. Developing techniques for your time as a student means you can have a social life, stay healthy, eat food, work a job and study a whole degree all at the same time. People have better time management skills than believed, but quite often struggle with the self-discipline and succumb to temptations.

It is that time of semester again … the mid-semester slump.
But there is good news as we are now past the halfway point!
You may have already had your mid-semester tests, or you have them to look *forward* to after the break. Regardless, we want to tackle those end-of-semester exams with confidence – and may all the late nights be worth it.
For many, exams are a headache and the thought of them makes you feel sick in your stomach.
Perhaps you have experienced the feeling where your mind freezes during an exam? Or where you just cannot recall why DNA is described as a double helix?
Have a break – have dark chocolate

With exams looming we need that excuse to eat chocolate and cry into our pillow about how much work there is to do, right?
Well, no more excuses needed. Recent research indicates that eating dark chocolate might increase cognition and other brain functions.

Games are a great way to help the public understand abstract principles. Fourth year Bachelor of Science and Engineering student Alexander Tritt did just that and came in runner-up at the 2018 Quantum Games – a nationwide competition hosted by the ARC Centre for Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems (EQUS) to explain the science behind quantum mechanics through computer games.
