23.01.2022 Spare time: Noun. meaning time available for hobbies and other activities that you enjoy. There is a lot of pressure put on us these days to always feel as though we should continually be doing something productive. As a consequence, free/spare/leisure time has become a stigmatised concept in busy workplaces and student life, because when you’re not working - you’re being unproductive.... Why should we have to feel guilty for doing either, in our time away from work? We spent a bit of time chatting with a few people from the University of New England, AU Community to find out what they do in their spare time... How do you spend your free time? https://bit.ly/ULfreetime Neymar Jr, une future légende UNE Discovery University of New England - International UNE Business School UNE Agriculture UNE Science Creative New England SportUNE Wellness Hub Matt Pine Alexandra Cook Sara Perry

22.01.2022 If you've ever thought about a Work300, but found the concept a little baffling, this little write up from Kate might be a good read for you! "Before I started my placement with UNE Life, I had no idea what content creation was, or how much depth there is to a media and communications title - I actually, think I only saw the tip of it. Working with the team has definitely broadened my understating of the industry and the range of different avenues that my degree can take me"... http://bit.ly/Work300expectations UNE Employability & Careers UNE Future Students
