n terms of popular culture, the 1970s was a fun and flamboyant decade where the exciting worlds of film, fashion, and music collided most extravagantly to mark an iconic era. It was a time of disco, bell-bottomed pants and turtle necks, fringes and curls, the hippie movement, classic cars, roller-skating, and of course, a lot of groovy dance numbers!

Hello!

Can you guess where this picture was taken?

It’s the Story Bridge in Brisbane, all lit up and overlooking Brisbane River. You can see in the corner of the photo the paddlewheel of the Kookaburra Queen which is a beautiful showboat that cruises the Brisbane River and has been doing so since the 1980s! Wow!

It's an exhilarating feeling cruising all the way down the Brisbane River in a 1980s Queensland-timber showboat. Scroll through all the different cruises here!

The Kookaburra Queen is the perfect venue for parties; it's where my sister and I had our semi-formals! - read more here!

or uni students, the struggle is real. The days are long, the schedules are tight, and for many of us who are constantly in a hurry in the morning, breakfast can start to become an increasingly vanishing concept. I get it, it’s a relatable horror story, especially if you’re like me and believe that breakfast is the most important, most unmissable meal of the day.

HAPPY 50TH BLOG POST!!!

Thank you so much to all my readers! We made it to 50! <3 

I remember in the early days of Young and Unheroic back in December 2018 wondering how this little blog would turn out 6 months from now, one year from now... 
Seven months have passed and what an exciting adventure it's been! 
Halfway to 100!!!

Hola!

Well done for surviving another week!

Second-year vet school is well underway and we are on the cusp of our 5^th week into the semester. Earlier today, I handed in an assignment that I had been grappling with for a while, so that’s a huge relief. Now onto the next one I guess haha!

This week, we had our first anatomy practical which was incredibly informative. The laboratory was filled with interesting anatomical specimens such as entire skeletons, individual bones, chicken wings for dissection, and even the cadaver of a dog. It is in circumstances like these that we must remember to treat all specimens respectfully because they were once living, breathing beings! I learnt a lot!

We also dissected a snail and a squid in our zoology practical as part of our studies into the anatomy of creatures from the phylum, Mollusca! Our gloves definitely got covered in black ink from the squid’s ink sac!

You can tell my lab coat got quite smelly this week hehe!

Oh, and last week, my friend and I started watching The Umbrella Academy on Netflix! We haven’t finished but so far, the series is super gripping! Have you seen it?

Here are this week’s quotes from the 365 Quotes Jar… Enjoy!

Hi!

How was your week?

This week, I’ve been busy with university but I’m enjoying the new things we are learning. I had a zoology laboratory session which was 3 hours of simply worms (!!!) – Platyhelminthes, Annelida, and Nematoda! In our vet subjects, we’ve also been studying muscle physiology and anatomy which has definitely been information overload, but very interesting nevertheless!
