Saying Bond Uni: Textual Analysis
Saying Bond Uni is small is an understatement. As one of the smallest universities in Australia the social life on campus is a little crowded to say the least; everyone one knows everyone.

Our wide and colourful student culture presents the perfect location for any voyeuristic people watchers to get their daily fix. Here is a breakdown of the 10 students you will meet at Bond.

1. The ‘I have a girlfriend’ guy:
His relationship status recently changed and he made sure you know about it. You were also notified about this change via Instagram, Snapchat and Facebook. His new beau has pretty much taken over his life. Want to celebrate his new relationship together with a few drinks and a boogie at Dons? Better let him get permission from his

Head to toe Ralph Lauren is a hard look to pull off, but fortunately for him, it pairs well with aviators, loafers and an ‘I put more effort than required into my hair’ cut. You will probably spot him milling around the library taking loud business calls and dropping corporate jargon like it going out of style, “I’ll pencil you in for lunch?”

5. The Instagram famous blogger
She looks kind of familiar right… but most definitely not because you ran into her on campus. You recognise her from Instagram where she has somehow amassed over 100k followers. She knows which beach to get that perfect bikini post and probably promotes products for tanning companies. Hit her up for restaurant recommendations, because this girl knows her stuff.

6. The typical forgein exchange student
You saw their name on your tutorial list, though 5 weeks through the group assignment you still have not laid eyes on them. Spending their weekends flying between the Great Barrier Reef and Fiji, it is pretty hard not to be jealous.

7. The ‘Saturdays are for the boys’ guy
He is rarely spotted in public without his posse of friends and teammates who all seem to look exactly the same. They are your typical boys boy, liking beer, babes and more beer. He probably plays rugby or cricket and can be seen around campus wearing sporting merch.

8. The student who did all the required

    His name is Mason Jones. Most of his friends call him Jones, because he plays football and that’s the name on the back of his jersey. As you could probably already understand, Mason gets in a lot of trouble here at Ocean View School for Boys. There was this one event, on teacher appreciation week, where he presented Mrs. Wilson a “caramel apple”, it actually was coated in light brown glue. Another experience was when his social studies teacher left the…

    When this piece was written, Stephen Burd was a senior writer for the Chronicle of Higher Education and had been working in that capacity for nearly a decade. In this context it makes sense that he would write on such things as the "working-class student". White male, middle-aged, middle-class, bachelors degree in history- all of these are attributed to Mr. Burd (though none of these things are explicitly referenced in his writing). In this piece there is no overt evidence that the aforesaid attributes influence his opinion. In general, albeit with only superficial evidence, there appears to be little reason for Mr. Burd to write with ulterior motives.…

    The student that interested me the most was a student named Justin I believe. He was tiny and wore a big blue shirt I think. He interested me the most because he seemed kind of quiet and shy and I would really like to get to know him better and get him to open up and talking to other individuals.…

    In this English 0812: Analytical Reading and Writing, I have learned a great deal of beneficial knowledge in writing. As a bilingual person who knows Chinese and English, I struggle with Literature writing a lot ever since young. Even though I grew up in the United States from Kindergarten, English is still a challenging subject in my educational path. After attending the English 0812 class in this semester, I have improved on my writing, analyzing, revising, and editing skills. I am very satisfied and pleased with my development. Throughout the English 0812 class, I have written a total of 3 essays: “Technology Influence American Student’s Perceptions on Plagiarism”, “Privacy Concerns on Internet”, and “Integration of Chinese Food with American’s…

    Pope Urban II gave a very motivational speech at The Council of Clermont. The speech was so motivational that it even motivated people to embark on the conquest to Jerusalem whom he did not even intend. The quest to recapture Jerusalem from the Turks was not only a religious escapade, but also unified the Christians, promised repentance of sin, promised fortune, happiness, and shame to those who did not serve God.…

    The students here are even more stereotypical than the name of the school itself. The jocks are top dogs, and the Goth weird-os are no names. I lay somewhere between the Goths and the Stoners. But my rep has raised since I am the most commonly used target to locker slamming, tripping, and taunting. My favorite joke was when this one person gave me a bendable ruler and said I was about as straight as it. Jokes on him. The ruler was new and wasn’t even bent yet. Idiots.…

    Student lifestyle has vastly evolved in time with technological advances. In the 21st century, people who belong to a younger demographic (and those in westernised countries) have been quick to adapt to a new era of the popularisation of social networks. By giving free access to a huge domain of networks of billions of people all round the world, I believe, as a student that this has changed the way we communicate and interact. As interaction is a huge part of my daily life as a university student, this has furthermore had a bigger impact on my student life.…
