One of my fond memories at Deakin were the celebrity units of study. I wrote about all about Britney and how she was misrepresented and controlled. I was proud I could get the class to sympathise with her. It looks like more and more people are aware of the truth.

Once, the way we viewed celebrities was framed by the legacy press and the entertainment industry. Now fans and social media are rewriting the script. More from #Deakin Prof David Marshall: https://t.co/CmFt3h0nXl @DeakinArtsEd #FramingBritneySpears

For those keeping score, this yr the govt has:
1. Raised the cost of arts/ law degrees for students;
2. Said they were prioritising 'job-ready' degrees, but actually cut govt funding for them;
3. Told students if they fail 4 first-yr units they'll lose hecs + pay intl prices.

@LisaLoeb How about "This" from Firecracker / The Purple Tape? Fitting since we're trapped in rooms looking for optimism (and it's one of my faves)

Uni students have actually been neglected in this crisis

Universities: Need help? Use our mental health services!

The services:
-A golden retriever comes to the library once a week
-There's one therapist on the campus of 40,000 students
-There are bathroom stalls you can cry in for free!

As we draw closer to the end of the year, today was a good day to say hello to my inner child. If children can find happiness in little things, so shall I!
