Katie’s journey back to the classroom (music education)!!
K888:
RE: volunteering - depends what's near you and whether you're interested, but is it possible to help out at a school? I feel like the fact that you're an education student might help you with that. One of my housemates is an education student (doing primary, granted) and volunteers at a local primary school with their literacy program.
Otherwise, try a local sporting club or a hospital (these can be really good because you can often organise to volunteer in a certain shift, so you have that same period of time allotted each week). Or, if you live near a beach (and don't mind a bit of gardening stuff), there's quite often volunteer groups that run to help revitalise the foreshore - keeping it clean, planting new plants, etc.
Otherwise I'd see if the local council has any helpful suggestions on their website! :)

Decided to try the vlog format today!!
My First Ever Vlog!!
More on Arts society camp!I went to camp feeling really nervous as I didn’t really know too many people who were going and what the camp was going to be like. There were 125 other first years, around 20 leaders and other executive members there. Everybody was doing a subject under the faculty of arts and social sciences so it was very varied (e.g media, education, music, criminology, arts). Therefore, there were only three other people doing a music degree there.
The camp was sport themed for this year, and we also had a sports themed Saturday night party where everyone dressed up. We were split into 10 different groups, and did majority of the activities in our teams, (mine was the Beasty Bears). Each team made up a war cry and at the end of the camp there was a competition for 1st, 2nd and 3rd with prizes (We actually got 1st).
The camp mostly consisted of group games and activities in your teams. Some of them were really messy (like sock wrestling on soapy mats, or water fights), while others were based on communication within your teams. We also had a camp dance that we would do whenever we heard the song (‘forget you’). During the camp, we had pale blue camp shirts that we would wear for the majority of the time.
On the Saturday morning, they woke us up at 7am to do a sports themed bootcamp! :( On the Friday night, we had a trivia night in our groups with games in between the questions. Then, on the Saturday night, we had a sports themed party. I’m not a party person (& don’t drink much) so I didn’t really like the party as it was mainly alcohol and dancing and seen by some people as an excuse to get drunk. However, I did talk to a few friends afterwards which was really nice, and helped another friend who was drunk. We ended up going to bed really late both nights and were exhausted by the Sunday.
The camp food (especially the dinners and breakfasts) wasn’t actually really good though, so it was good to go home to nicer food :) .
Overall, I made quite a few friends at camp which was really good!! :D

Omg you went to the Arts Camp? One of my friends went there as well! (well, I'm assuming this because her shirt said Arts Camp 2018 lol) Judging from her snapchat stories, it looked really fun. I think part of the experience in camps in general is how bad the food is xD (never been to a camp where the food was amazing).
