Write a piece which shows your real self, your public self, and your imagined self.** Real Self My name is Rachel Loveday, I’m 26 years old and I live in Wollongong. I graduated with a double degree, Bachelor of Creative Arts (Creative Writing)-Bachelor of Journalism in 2014, and I currently work as an administration assistant. While I believe I am
Read moreThis episode had an equal amount of humour and heart. It’s typical Maya to sneak into a country club so JJ can do his physiotherapy in their pool, however I loved how it lead to Ray discovering and enjoying the benefits of the club and wanting to stay. I did enjoy Ray and Maya finding something in common to bond
Read moreI found that this was a sweet episode and not just because it focused on Valentine’s Day and JJ’s sugar addiction. This episode has an A, B and C story–The A story being Maya and Jimmy trying to rediscover their “heat”, the B story being Dylan trying to catfish Ray, and the C story being the discovery of JJ’s sugar
Read moreWhat a rollercoaster this one was! The repercussions of Simon’s actions were explored in this episode. Thankfully I was wrong and Ed wasn’t killed off, since we’ve had two deaths this season another one would be excessive. Like Simon, I was also expecting the truth to come out and major consequences to be dished out, however, for now, there were
Read moreWhat a great way to kick off a season. Here Come the Habibs was subjected to controversy before it even aired last year with accusations that it was a racist show.

Read moreI rather enjoyed this episode as it was on the lighter side and focused more on how the DiMeos work as a family, rather than JJ’s disability. This episode starts off by exploring how the DiMeos handle illnesses. Kenneth is temporarily exiled when he develops the flu, but not quickly enough to prevent him from passing it on to almost
Read moreAfter last week’s heartbreaking episode, it was nice for this episode to be on a slightly lighter side. I did appreciate the focus on Elena and Martha this week rather than having Joan front and centre. I did appreciate that Joan’s grief was touched upon but kept in the background, especially as it’s not very often that the show has
Read moreOn Sunday 12 May, I completed the Mother’s Day Classic in Brisbane. The Mother’s Day Classic is a national fun run and walk that raises money for breast cancer research. The distances for the Mother’s Day Classic vary in each location, however in Brisbane there were two distances that participants could complete: 4.5km walk or run and a 8km walk
Read moreThis episode took an unexpectedly dark turn. While the promos had been indicating that something horrible would happen to baby Laura, I know from previous experiences that the promos have been misleading and what you think is going to happen almost never happens. This was one of the rare times where what I thought was going to happen actually happened.
Read moreThis episode explored not so much another layer of the family but did answer a question that the viewers would have in their minds–what would happen if JJ’s motorised wheelchair ever broke? The reason why the chair broke and who was responsible was a hilarious reveal, however the answer was obvious, he would be given a replacement by the insurance
