Mardiel character Mardiel is joining Monash University as a new undergraduate student. He has never been to Melbourne - so all together its a different ride for him.

Interests

Mardiel is a big believer in the law of Attraction and loves to read books about self and career development. In addition to that he a is a very active person as loves running and cycling ; staying fit has always been in his priority list. Mardiel has been obsessed with the idea of using software to solve practical problems and pursuing further studies in Monash have been his top interests. Hence to improve his technical skills and to gain industry-related experience, he decided to join MAC ( Monash Association of Coding ) to brush up and master his skills in coding.

Worries & Solutions

Since it is Madriel’s first time being away from home he’s worried that homesickness can strike him very hard. To address this issue, he knows that he can sign up for telehealth consultations: Monash Counselling can help him with problems like coping with study/university life, stress, anxiety and depression.

He is also worried about pressue around studying: from trying to study to living alone and doing the required chores, to maintaining a social life, to possibly working some sort of a job to help with expenses, Madriel doesn’t have the “time” to manage and think about his time. He sleeps in irregular patterns and do everything at the last minute. This kind of behavior is unsustainable and therefore he need to at least set a rough timetable and start utilizing his time much more efficiently. He will be surprised at the amount of free time he’ll start to have on his hands.
