Hello everyone!

I’m Jidneya, and I’m running to be your Year 2 Wellbeing Representative.

I hope everyone has had a great start to second year and PintOS isn't giving you too much of a headache just yet! Look, I get it, being a computing student comes with stereotypes about us constantly grinding, not having fun, and never touching grass. However, my first year was the exact opposite, and striking that balance between work and play was a huge part of why I’ve loved university so much.

My main focus as your rep will be reducing the burden of the course for everyone. Whether that means:

• Organizing more social events

• Making lab sessions more bearable

• Advocating for fairer deadlines directly with lecturers

I am willing to do whatever it takes to give you a voice.

Of course, I don't know every individual challenge, so I want to hear from you. Please feel free to come up to me with any problems or suggestions. You can usually find me around labs, or at most lectures (I try to go to all of them, I promise!).

We all know second year is going to be tough, but let’s come together to make sure we make the absolute most of it. I'd love to have your vote!

Can't wait to hear from all of you,

Jidneya
