PRESITORIAL

PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS.

Welcome to all new students as well as those returning to Swinburne for another year! As your 2018 Swinburne Student Union President, I want to work with more students than ever to ensure that we have the most active and inclusive year at the union yet.

The Swinburne Student Union (SSU) runs the Hammer & Swine (your Hawthorn campus student bar), as well as delivering daily free breakfast, weekly BBQs, and the cheapest printing on campus. In 2018, we hope to grow the union, expanding volunteering opportunities for students as well as working even closer with student run clubs to provide a vibrant culture here on campus.

Head over to our Facebook page for updates on services and upcoming events.

The SSU is Swinburne’s only independent, student-run representation, welfare and events service. As your student union, we aim to improve the experience of all Swinburne students, both in education, as well as in student culture. We are always interested to hear what you have to say about the union, and your time

at Swinburne in general. If you have any ideas on how we can make your student experience a better one, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

If you’d like to get involved with any of our services and events opportunities exist within our thriving SSU volunteers program.

Our SSU collectives also provide great opportunities to get involved with likeminded students. And if you have any time free after all that, between study and part time work, definitely join a club or three or maybe even start your own! I encourage all students to get involved as much as you can.

Best of luck with the year ahead,

In Unity,

Sam Roberts

President Swinburne Student Union

EDITORIAL

HI FROM THE EDITOR. Hi friends, I am your new editor for the Swine Magazine in 2018, as editor I promise to pick apart every single piece of grammar, spelling and punctuation I can, do not be offended that is just how I am (unfortunately). I also hope to bring my love for all things literature, gaming and film related to this magazine as well as content that challenges me and that I might not read normally. I am looking forward to the year ahead (hopefully I finish my degree) and to receiving all your journo articles, creative writing, poetry, reviews, photography and artwork, make sure to send them my way so I can procrastinate and read them instead of doing my assignments.

I wish you all a happy 2018 and welcome you back to uni, hopefully this first edition can be of use to you if you are new, or if you are returning and still don’t know what you are doing, like me.

Also send me pictures of your cats, unfortunately they will not make it into the magazine but I will be forever grateful. Here is a picture of mine, isn’t she just perfect…

See you next edition friends,

Abbey Thorpe, Editor-in-Chief

New Student Checklist Starting off at University can be a pretty stressful time, so to help you out, we’ve put together a quick guide on the essentials to getting started.

By Sam Roberts

Collect your Student ID card Getting a new student card is a bit like ripping off a band aid. And if you wait until the middle of week one to deal with that band aid, it may take an hour or two to take off.

Become a Student Union Member If you’d like to access our free printing, BBQ’s, free entry to parties, cheap drinks in the student bar, and much more, then get your SSU membership ASAP. At $20, it’s the best value purchase you’ll make all year.

Join a Club or Society Uni is a lot easier if you’re coming to campus for more than just study. So while you’re here, get involved with some of our existing clubs. Or set up your own and get to know some like-minded people outside the classroom.

Attend orientation Events & Parties At the start of the year make sure to attend welcome events and parties. You’ll meet new people and get to know the local hangouts like the Hammer & Swine and the Hawka (The Hawthorn Hotel).

Buy your TExtbooks Or start saving for them... Textbooks are pretty expensive, so before you go and buy them all try talking to some older students (or stalkerspace - at your own risk) about weather textbooks are good value for each unit. If you need to buy new books, go grab a Swinburne Bookshop membership for some awesome discounts.

Check your class locations

Volunteer!

Start using your degree

The Swinburne Student Union offers a huge range of volunteering opportunities, including our weekly BBQ’s and more practical experience in our office. Volunteering through our welfare collectives is another great way to meet like-minded mates. It also looks great on your resume.

Your classes will be far more enjoyable if you start applying them during Uni. There are extra-curricular activities for almost every degree at Swinburne. If you’re a media student you could start a radio show with 3SSR. If you’ve just started robotics, then check out the Swinburne Tinkerers Guild. If you’re stuck for ideas you can always ask a tutor for an extra-curricular activity that suits you.

If you’ve got a class in the AS or EW buildings, you’ll want to give yourself a bit of extra time to find it before your first class.

Get a PTV Concession Card Don’t leave this one to the last minute.

Concession rates will save you at least $300 each year, and PTV won’t miss a chance to hand out transport fines during week one if you forget your concession card.

Work out your ‘go to’ lunch spot Or at least the location of the Uni microwaves. If you’re going to get through a three (and the rest) year degree, you’ll need to live on more than coffee.

SHOULD STUDYING

LA NG U AG E S

BE COMPULSORY?

By Sophie Evans

Ciao! ¿Como estás? Étudiez-vous une langue?

Until Year 10 of my secondary education, I was the single student in my French class who enjoyed learning the language. Even when I wasn’t particularly in the mood for the class, the content was a breeze.

Everyone copied my work and wanted help with homework, and I obliged. It was with a mixture of pride, annoyance and perhaps a feeling of snide superiority that I could easily do something that was so complex to others. By Year 12, there were merely four Year 12 students interested in French, who had to combine with the five Year 11s also completing the course. Four out of 200 Year 12 students. Basically, it seemed it was “uncool” or “too hard” to bother electing a language.

With the benefits of learning and becoming fluent in any language apparently clear to most people – employment opportunities, studying & travelling abroad as well as meeting new people – why aren’t more students undertaking a language at school or university? In the digital age where apps and translation services are readily available, and we have more connection with the world around us, why are students still not bothering? Which begs the question: Should it be compulsory for students to learn at least one language?

14

Napoleon Bonaparte introduced the French Baccalauréat (BAC) in 1808 to provide a well-rounded education to those who completed it. To this day, French students completing one of three streams of the BAC must study at least two languages, with a third one being optional (and can often be a dialect/regional language or ancient language). Students studying the Matura across 18 European countries are expected to do the same. (Both the BAC and Matura are the equivalent of VCE.) I have friend in Florence studying medicine who learnt Ancient Greek – a defunct language in the modern world – along with English and Italian as standard. Imagine a typical Australian student trying to grasp such a subject!

Given Italy and France’s geographical locations, tourism, and political standing in the EU and the world, it would seem to be a rational concept to have a bilingual population. Yet, Australia is within a tenhour flight away from some of the biggest markets in the world for technology, business and trade in Asia, and I have yet to meet one person my age to speak or learn Mandarin. Despite the high prevalence of Australian schools offering Japanese, many students give it up due to its difficulty.

Australian schools have become (or perhaps always have been) too easy in order for most students to breeze through and pass; I personally would have preferred to study the BAC. Of course, any education shouldn’t be taken for granted, however,

SWINEISSUEONE

the problem with a lot of Australian schools is their focus on sport and science rather than foreign languages, and school funding reflects this. Despite this, schools need to convince students early that learning French or Japanese is a good thing to do, not something they must study for a couple of years and then give up. It should also be known that if a school does not provide the language that the student desires, then they can do so through the Victorian School of Languages during VCE. This can assist students in completing the stream of subjects that they would like to learn, rather than having to pick up other units just to fill gaps in their timetable.

Schools and universities should start considering the future and provide a variety of Language Other Than English (LOTE) subjects for the modern-day graduate.

With technology looking only to continue booming, there are going to be more gateways to the world around us and to communicate with friends and colleagues globally through the palms of our hands.

All university students, no matter their degree, can benefit from having another tongue to speak. It is an obvious choice for those studying Business or Arts degrees given the breadth of occupations sought post-graduation. For aspiring teachers, doctors and engineers, it can mean the chance to work overseas or communicate with clients and patients to make your job easier. A language isn’t something you learn just to order a meal whilst travelling.

It is an important tool that you can learn

and maintain to help build your future.

Although the outsourcing of jobs to Asia within Australian businesses is a negative from human rights, financial, and quality perspectives; students able to speak an Asian language have an advantage to assist in building and maintaining constructive relations with foreign colleagues and partners, and teaching employees new skills.

Learning a language also has great cognitive benefits. The Centre of Adult Education (CAE) reports that becoming bilingual improves multitasking abilities, memory and helps the brain create new pathways through working with new problems. It also reduces the risk of dementia and cognitive decline in old age.

Your native tongue is also greatly improved through learning another language, as you can begin to relate various subjects and grammar from one to the other. [1] With apps such as Duolingo and Babbel ready to use at your fingertips (both also available via their websites), it is easier than ever to learn in your free time or to consolidate knowledge learnt in class. And with semesters starting up again soon, why not challenge yourself and pick up a unit of Italian, Chinese or Japanese? You’ll be one step ahead of the rest.

Surviving through the semester

Whether you’re crying in fits, still intoxicated from Summer vacation, or excited for your first ever classes, Semester One is here and it does not care if you like it or not. I must admit, studying is quite an experience. It is not an activity you do diligently 40 hours a week (as they tell you in orientation), it is an emotional rollercoaster that will leave you questioning whether university is a place for education and enlightenment, or a mysterious psychological experiment you didn’t really consent to. But one thing I do know, is that we can all get through it. Along my five years of study (and painfully still going), I have tried and tested a number of techniques to keep my sanity and head above water, and it is my due diligence to share them with you.

STOP BUYING STATIONARY There is something exciting and motivating about preparing yourself for classes.

I’ve always felt that purchasing stationary was an investment into my learning- for optimum speed writing and note taking.

It is a lie. You get stuck with an avalanche of highlighters, unused notebooks and pen-filled drawers. It might be hard to admit, but the urge of wanting to run to the store for a new pen as you plan your first assignment is just procrastination trying to trick you.

DON’T BE A PIG Another reason why I’m so pro stationary minimalism is to keep your room and house tidy.

There are countless studies that show the trick to being more physically healthy, less stressed, and more focused is LITERALLY

BY CLEANING YOUR HOUSE. Clean your house and stop buying things you don’t need.

The more you have, the more you have to clean. Keep your room only for things essential to you, give the rest away.

You don’t need it. Purchase storage containers and label them, the more storage space, the less you use your bed or desk chair as a giant collector of your belongings.

MOTIVATE YOURSELF Why are you at uni? Find a reason and stick it to your forehead. There is no herbal essence, health food or yoga pose that will make your heart and mind scream for you to study, you have to do that yourself. Get a bracelet/ necklace/headband or something you can wear on you while you study and use it as a physical reminder of how much you want to get through this course. If you don’t love the content, or if you don’t love uni but have already committed and you aren’t going to quit, use my personal favourite technique and glance at your fee statement to remind you of just how many thousands of dollars you have already spent on your education. This generally works best for people coming to the end of their degree. I could have bought a Porsche (a cheap one- but still a Porsche).

THERE ARE NO EXCUSES FOR LAZINESS It’s hard to keep your mind on the same topic for twelve weeks, but university doesn’t give you a choice. Find some friends and study with them. Try to refrain from using your phone when you study, but don’t tell yourself off when you do aimlessly scroll through social media. Your brain is switching off either because there is something in your curriculum you don’t understand, or you’ve tried to digest so much content in such little time that it needs some time out.

Find out why you keep reverting back to social media, be the strong independent person that you are and put your phone down.

The only way to achieve the goals you have set, is holding yourself accountable. If there is something you don’t know, Facebook won’t help. If you’ve studied too much, Facebook also won’t help because chances are you’ve left your studying last minute and you have no other option but to cram.

Next time, give yourself an extra 4 days on top of the day you set for your essaying.

Plus, when you restrict yourself from something, you’re more likely to think about it more often and crave it. If you feel like you need a break, don’t listen to the Nestlé ads, a KitKat will not help. Neither will your phone; go find a tree.

Nature has a calming, grounding effect on people.

YOUR BODY IS A LIVING ORGANISM I don’t know how we reached the point of dethatching our minds and bodies so much that some people need to be reminded that your body exists and you should take care of it.

That point has been reached and here we are. I know I’m not the only one who tried to look after a plant when I was younger and inevitably killed it.

Maybe I didn’t give it enough water, maybe there were no nutrients in the soil, either way it was not happy. Imagine your body is a plant. It needs water and nutrients to stay alive, obviously you are doing a good job of that (and I am so thankful), but in order to thrive you have to be feeding it the right things.

Studying is mental growth and although your body may be still for hours at a time, you are burning a lot of energy. The best studier is one that keeps their body healthy. Drink water, eat a carrot stick or veggies.

Ditch any type of fad diet and please eat CARBS, they will get you through it. Minimise sugar and get rid of caffeine.

The last thing your poor body needs when it is already under stress, is a chemical that makes your body produce more stress so you feel extra awake for 45 minutes. That is not cool.

That is literal body agony and you are doing it to yourself.

20

6

Give your heart a break, ditch caffeine and refined sugar.

Most importantly, please go for a ten minute walk (minimum).

Physical activity produces endorphins in your body which makes you feel happy, reduces stress, and reduces the perception of pain, making uni that little bit more bearable.

YOU’RE ONLY HUMAN OK, I don’t even stick to half of these when I’m in my pinnacle stress mode, but the best we can do is try. Be proud for giving yourself the amazing experience that university brings, and the abundance of knowledge you will learn along the way. At the end of the day, keep the ancient proverb ‘P’s get degrees’ close to your heart, and know that being a little bit average is a lot of fun, especially if you take care of yourself along the way.

How To Find An

I N TE RNSH I P That Will Kick Start Your Career

By Alison Vella

There are hundreds of articles I could kick the year off with but I’m going to start where my career began and that is franticly looking for a place to intern.

Here’s how I go about finding the right place to intern:

As a first-year university student, I had no idea what I was doing. I didn’t know how long an internship went for or how to apply - I didn’t even know if I’d get paid or not.

The first thing I do is go to a unit convenor and check out what positions they are advertising.

There was so much conflicting information on the Internet and while I was desperate for experience, I had no idea where to look.

Some more reputable companies prefer to hire interns through education providers and these always offer valuable experiences that align with course objectives.

I think that’s the case with most people.

They go into their degree with every intention to get some experience but the process is tedious and before they know it they’ve graduated without spending a minute in the workplace.

I pushed though that stage and have now completed three internships at top-tier public relations agencies. I have worked with clients such as Disney, ANZ, Metricon Homes and RMIT Activator and I have had the opportunity to learn from some of the best minds in the business.

Their leadership has been more valuable than anything I could ever pick up from a textbook and that is why I think an internship is one of the best investments you will ever make.

You are investing your time, money and effort to secure a future job and while it may seem demeaning, it will put you in the best position to find employment at the end of your degree.

22

See what’s on offer at Uni:

While these opportunities are incredible, hundreds of people apply so you have got to get in quick.

Ask a Friend: The second thing I do is ask a friend where they did their internship and if they enjoyed it.

With so much noise, a mutual friend makes it much easier to reach out and kick start conversation.

I’ve even asked previous internship supervisors where my next gig should be and their recommendations have been bang-on every time.

SWINEISSUEONE

Research online:

Make sure it’s the right fit:

I wouldn’t make the mistake of applying for an internship through Seek or Indeed.

The ultimate test is to ask yourself if it’s the kind of company you’d like to work at in the future.

Applying for those positions is reactive rather than proactive and your CV is going to be electronically dumped in a folder with thousands of others.

Instead, I’d research companies that are innovating in your industry and apply directly through their website.

I usually do this by looking at who is winning awards and researching the campaigns they have launched.

I check out their clients and recent projects to make sure what they do interests me and supports my career progression.

Stalk: I find social media is the best place to get a feel of the company and what their culture is like.

An internship is like a trial run, you get a chance to experience the workplace and your supervisor gets to see what you are capable of.

If you impress them, they may ask you back for paid work, they may even offer you a job so choose the institution wisely.

Remember: Be smart about the internships you apply for.

You are getting paid in knowledge and experience and if the company isn’t paying well, it isn’t worth your time, money and effort.

It’s really important to take note of the size of their team.

I find small to medium size companies are better than large ones because you will get one on one attention and have the opportunity to get close to managers; the people who will one day employ you.

From my experience, you get thrown around a lot in bigger companies and end up doing a whole lot of admin tasks that do nothing for your personal development.

Poems

By Aashima Sondhi

Surviving Chaos It may seem tragic at the time, but with good intentions, I assure; Chaos comes with a mystery; like a turmoil it unfolds.

Condemnation, vilification or curse, Know this game, the one who’s better, is often the worse.

When all others try to defy; Hold your ground, and keep those spirits high.

To all the questions that may arise, ‘Lessons’ are the only answers to derive.

Humility and kindness, are not mere words, they thrive all time, giving us a victory surge.

This is your chance to emerge stronger than before, So embrace dignity, a little more.

For people don’t determine your worth, What you think of yourself, prevails; Rise beyond the obstructs of shame, With sheer resilience, work up your way.

Not to prove a point of your own, But as an achiever, who’s earned their throne.

And this, is how you survive, the storms that erode on life, because, my dear friend; opportunities reside, in a cyclone’s eye.

Chasing Time Now is one of a kind, Next will soon follow, Unraveling just in time, only when you should know.

In the race of chasing time, you forget to live but rush, You see the winning end, but time flees the first.

It has the knack to escape, To get hold of it, simply drop the chase.

Live in the now, and time, shall forever cooperate.

Where we belong I belong to the sky above me; to the oceans deep in blue, I belong to the wilderness of the green; from a seed, to a tree, I grew.

I belong to the beaming sun; from dawn to dusk, I met every hue.

I belong to the places I’ve never been, I belong to the faces I’ve never seen, I belong to life in its entirety.

I belong to everywhere and everyone, And so do you. You do!

Do you?

PUNJABI CLUB.

By Param Mahal

Established in 2007, the Swinburne Punjabi Club is one of the oldest clubs still active on campus. The main aim of the founders back then was to embody the inclusivity of the five rivers of Punjab into the club and envelope all students with it. The successive members over the last decade have toiled hard to share the rich culture of the Indian subcontinent and bridge gaps between various communities.

The club aims to make people aware of the rich heritage of the subcontinent while simultaneously introducing them to all the fun and festivities it has to offer.

For international students the club strives to provide a home away from home, by helping them adjust to a new life in a new country. The club activities have always been a place to make new friends from different backgrounds to share in laughter and joy.

Over the years we have tried to hold a minimum of three major events annually.

Semester 1 this year will start off with the spectacle of colours that is ‘Holi’. The event will feature foot tapping Indian music to dance to and vibrant colours to smear your friends with. Holi, like most of our events is free to attend and is not exclusive to Swinburne students. The second event is ‘Vaisakhi’ which is a celebration of spring and harvest season in the Indian subcontinent. This event features student

performances to folk and classical dances as well as free food and lots of other activities. As a tradition we have always stuck to the concept, ‘a party isn’t fun until you shake a leg and Vaisakhi similarly offers you chance to show off those dance moves you’ve been hiding.’

Semester 2 has the biggest event the Swinburne Punjabi Club has to offer that is ‘Diwali’, ‘the festival of lights’.

The event is a massive occasion which previously has been attended by the Vice Chancellor Prof Linda Kristjanson, VMC Commissioner, Members of Parliament and various international Consul Generals and Diplomats. The event features student and professional dance performances from the various Indian states. As usual there’s free food and many other activities.

So come join the Swinburne Punjabi Club to learn about different cultures in a fun and interactive way and spice up your university experience.
