The Future of Game Design, with Katie

"My favourite video game of all time in BioShock. The original one. Crazy good story line that made me want to design games. People are sometimes surprised when I tell that what I study" - Katie, bachelor of Information Technology, Majoring in Game Design And Development

Meeting Jenny !

Today I had the pleasure of meeting Jenny, who is a future marketer. I asked her about her life moto and she came back and said this: “it’s not how bad you want it, it’s about how hard you are going to work for it”. She continued to tell me about how this keeps her motivated while at university when the workload starts the get overwhelming. It motivates Jenny as she really wants to be a leader of a marketing team in a major business such and Coca-cola. Therefore she knows it essential to get good marks to have a chance in such a competitive business.

Evon Lau

"Hi my name is Evon Lau. Never really had a goal as my parents decided my path for me, but I do want to find a soul mate who is willing to love and care for me. I live in the Shire, therefor, my principle is 'work hard, party harder'."

Evon is one of those people who's laugh is infectious. She see's the humor in everything even in our principles of finance class so, lucky for me, I sit next to her. I wish her the very best on her quest for true love and may she end up riding away into the sunset with her prince, rather than crying on the bathroom floor with a bottle of Chardonnay.

Introduction to our Editiors

A little introduction to our editors of Humans of Macquarie. This lovely group of people was brought together in our ISYS100 class, and we were given a task of making a blog. As a group we did not want to make another cliche food or travel blog so we put our heads together and came up with the "Humans of Macquarie".  This was because we wanted to give people an insight into some of the weird and wonderful people that roam around Macquarie University. The editors consist of the following 5 people:

Danielle

Hashan

Maddy

Emma

Will

We all hope that you are enjoying our posts so far. Keep checking as there will be many more to come as the semester holidays come to an end.

"I used to sell meth on the street, since it got harder to sell, I now take them to rehab classes and try to sell to people who are trying to fight the addiction. I am just kidding, that was just a dream I had. " - Isuru Abeysundara

Rakin Hasan

"As an ambitious individual, I have always had the alluring enthralment to exhaust my potential and make the most out of every opportunity that I may confront. I believe, in challenging myself and seize every possibility where others fail. In my opinion, books and lecture notes are never enough for one to understand the practical world; rather it’s about going out of your comfort zone, enhance yourself and give back to the society. It is about aligning both effectiveness and efficiency of collective efforts with the narrowest margin and empowering both yourself and others in the society." - Rakin Hasan.
