My favourite letter in MASS, would definitely have to be the second S... for STYLE! It's my favourite because it comes into all four elements in MASS!! MUSIC... everyone has different styles of music that they like to tune out too. ART... different styles of art can be created. SURF... to find out how you surf best, you have to try out different surfing styles and techniques. And finally... STYLE... there are so many different styles of, music, fashion, art, surfing, dancing and more! So you just have to pick one style and that's how you stand out form everyone else!!!

I'm going on a school mission trip to Cambodia so i'm saving for that. My best tip for saving money is removing like 20% of your paycheck every time you gat payed and putting it on another account.

I'm saving for a well deserved Holiday..... I have not been away for 4 years!!!!

Style; whether it be a style in music, art or fashion, it's through your style that you are most confident. It is everything that matters to you, wrapped up in one bundle. Style is being proud of who you are and what you stand for. It's your morals, ethics and beliefs, your hopes, dreams and fears all in one place. Your style is you, and nobody can take that away from you.

Without a doubt music, I couldn't live without it. It' my life. I listen to music constantly whether it be recent or old school or somewhere in the middle. I like most genre's too! Hip Hip, Pop, Indie, Electro, Alternative, Rock, Punk, Hard Core, House and so many more. I live and breathe music, that's why it's my chosen career area!

music because if im in a bad mood i just turn on my music and it puts me in a better mood

im saving for a new bike or new parts for my old one as it is too old

this year im saving for a road trip with my friends to go to exmouth for a week. every fortnight i get paid im putting away $100

Well Im in year 11 and i need to put some money away to help with the costs of university after year 12 .. as its going to cost alot and im worried about how im going to afford it.As 4 years of University isnt going to be cheap.ALso having a bit of money to spend is always good. A great way i save money is by each week put like 5 bucks into a money tin so that i cannot get it back. It works and over a year u get alot of money ud be surprised.

I'm trying to put away some money every week in hopes of being able to afford weekly CrossFit personal training sessions. I want this so I can get fit and help get my health back on track and fight off the onset of diabetes that runs through each generation of my family. Currently I am putting away all my spare change (including notes!) at the end of every week into my Moolah Cow and saying no to big nights out and yes to quiet nights in with friends.

This year, im saving for a new car. nothing flash, but something to get me too and from schooling. My last car was stolen, so advice to save money from me.. is get an immobiliser. I work three jobs, one full time and two part time. Aswell as part time studys. Money saver tip- Coupons! Discounts and whatever else. Even if its only 5-10% off, it's still reduction that adds up.

music.... Is everything and anything that matters to me in my life. without music i would not be as happy as i am, it is the outlet to my soul. And m is my favorite this year because the best band to come out of australia Tame Impala are playing it. they are keeping the old 70's style of music alive!

This year, I want to study and have part-time job for saving the money. every day save $2. this way can help me get the money at the end of the month/year.

I'm saving up for a back packing trip. To save it I am putting 5 dollars into a money box when that's full I'm putting it into an bank west e-saver account :)

As a musician I am constantly listening to different types of music. I play the cello so I get a lot of classical influence. However through triple J mainly I get to experience more genres of music. I have realised that music is a huge part of my life and I would love to have the ecperience of going to the festival to further increase my passion for all types of music.

I have recently just started uni and realised i have $0 in my bank. I have been a great saver in the past however we went to Bali for christmas and I spent all my money (not that I had very much anyway) I finished TEE, and with doing TEE I didnt have the time to earn money. Now starting Uni I have no money for transport or food. This would help me so much. :-D

2 days of hard labour. I swear I sweated my heart out, so did my other 3 friends. Our reward. $50 each and We decided were were hitting the streets of Adventure World. I was extremely exited, I hadnt been to adventure world before, so my friends were eager to take me and try to make me scream on the rides, they were exited about the new ride 'Free Fall'. I dont scream, its not that I cant, Its just that, nothing is scary enough to make me scream... I was wrong, the Entry prces were enough to make me scream. but it didnt happen, I got paid you see, so i had enough money to go in. Or so i thought. I had to pay the adult price, which was $47.00, I had only $50, and I would of had no money for food, well $3, but what can you get with $3? Water? Haha. So I screamed, yes, I screamed, Not loudly. I screamed in the inside, Only I could hear me, Haha. We calculted that we would have $6 for food, between the three of us... It just wasnt enough. We was holding up the que, so we went to the back of the line to think about our alternative options. A really nice guy overheard our struggle, he had enough money and offered to pay our entry, we couldnt let him do that, because he couldnt get in if he paid for the three of us. His girlfriend had a student edge card, and she introduced herself to us, she told us that we could use her card. we were like "Whats student edge?" she explained the benefits, and discounts to us. we were like "were do we sign up?" it was so great! In the end, the three of us became student edge members! and we got entry into adventure world, AND we had $14 for food, we had a sausage roll each, AND we made 2 new friends that we are in regular contact with, It was such a Miracle! thanks to student edge, we all have discounts, we have 2 new friends, we got into adventure world, and we had food. What a godsend! so thats my experience with student edge! Cheers :)

Surf. Even with everything going on around me, I always find solace in the surf. Everything i was worrying about out of the water no longer exists when I'm on a board. The air is cleaner, the vibe is sweeter, so S for Surf because its how I live!

i am saving so i can move out of home..... always put your shrapnel in a bucket or piggy bank or whatever you have... straight away! dont let it sit in your wallet and tempt you to just go buy a choclate or something... same with notes.. although you are less inclined to break a big note... but if there are 5ers in your wallet put them in your bucket too... and if you can keep your wallet cashless altogether thats even better... but anyway with all those coins being put in your bucket.. you tend to forget about them... until you might REALLY need money to pay a bill... and you find you have an easy 50buks in coins waiting there for you... its almost like finding money in a poket of an old jacket or something.. because you forget about it :) also i am going to get an account that does not come with a card.... so once the money goes in.. it stays in.... no temptation while your at the shops or anything! :)

Its so hard to choose between them all.. music is amazing, you can get lost in the music, and i never forget a festival or a concert because the way music speaks to me.. i can forget about the rest of my life.. Art is grand. A beautiful way of expressing ones thoughts and influencing an audience.. Art is special because you can never be 'wrong' in your interpretation or opinion of it, and as a result engages people in all sorts of ways.. that is the beauty of art for me anyway.. i am a surfer myself so of course i know how awesome it is being out there in the ocean, understanding and respecting the way it can change so suddenly... it would be AMAZING to see some of the greatest surfers all in one place.. and to be fully immersed in the competition vibe.... and finally style.. well i would love to see this side of the festival because it is the one i am the least familiar with.. but i am interested in.. as again with art, it brings out different opinions in people. so its incredibly hard but i suppose im going to have to lock in music... because i can get lost for hours... and the emotional connections i make with it can never be forgotten.. plus dancing to awesome tunes is just great fun :)

dotdotdash

In some cases, what starts as an extracurricular can become something much bigger. Take, for instance, dotdotdash. It began as a literary group with some Curtin students who had a love affair with all things written and has evolved into one of Western Australia’s leading literary magazines. Here Student Edge asks of SJ Finch, one of the magazine’s creators, how dotdotdash unfolded.
