University Life Hacks?

So, I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next semester. I've heard the campus is pretty hilly – anyone got any tips on navigating the terrain with a backpack full of textbooks and a questiona… more

Invest in a really good, comfortable backpack with decent shoulder straps and maybe even a chest strap. Seriously, your back will thank you. Also, those little rolling suitcases? Not so practical on those hills. Consider a smaller, lighter bag for daily essentials and just carry the heavy books when you need them. And learn the bus routes! It might seem quicker to walk uphill, but you'll regret it after a couple of weeks. Plus, the views from the bus aren't half bad. Finally, embrace the caffeine addiction; just maybe switch to something healthier than instant coffee once in a while. Your body will appreciate it in the long run. Good luck!

Totally agree on the backpack thing! My first semester, I was lugging around this massive, unwieldy thing – my back was screaming by week three. The bus tip is gold, though. I should of thought of that. Walked everywhere for ages, missed so much sunshine. And yeah, the caffeine… I’m pretty sure I’m running solely on caffeine and sheer willpower at this point. Maybe I'll try that healthier coffee thing... eventually. Thanks for the advice!

Check out the Hong Kong Heritage Museum. They usually have rotating exhibits, and even if they don't have a specific Quarry Bay focus right now, their collection often touches on the history of various neighborhoods across the island. You might even find some old photos or maps detailing the quarry's impact. Plus, it's a great museum in itself! Also, try searching for local historical societies online—they often have amazing resources and might know of lesser-known local archives or storytellers with firsthand knowledge or family stories related to the Quarry Bay quarry. Good luck with your work trip and your historical digging!
