Which one sounds like you?
If atua Māori were walking around campus, which one would you be?
Read through the descriptions and pick the one that feels a little too accurate.
HINE-TE-IWAIWA
You’re nurturing, capable and somehow everyone’s mum, even when you never volunteered for the job. You’ve got snacks, spare pens and somehow know everyone’s deadline.
HINE-NUI-TE-PŌ
Independent, mysterious and not afraid of a little reinvention. You’ve outgrown the old version of you and you’re not going back. New semester, new you.
HINEMOANA
You’re calm on the outside, but there’s a whole ocean of thoughts happening underneath. You’ll say “I’m good” while mentally analysing the entire conversation from three days ago.
PAPATŪĀNUKU
Grounded, loyal and always looking after everyone else. You’re the person people can rely on; just remember to save some energy for yourself between lectures.
RONGO
You hate confrontation, love the peace and will absolutely leave the group chat rather than argue. You’re here for your degree, your friends and absolutely none of the drama.
TŪMATAUENGA
You’re competitive, determined and always ready to prove someone wrong, even when nobody asked. A group assignment with you? You’re probably already taking charge.
TĀWHIRIMĀTEA
You’re emotional, expressive and just a little unpredictable. Honestly, we never know what version we’re getting, but you definitely make lectures more interesting.
TĀNE
Creative, curious and constantly starting a new project you swear you’re going to finish. You’ve got three tabs open, two new ideas and absolutely no idea when the assignment is due.
TANGAROA
You go wherever life takes you, preferably somewhere with good food, good people and no responsibilities. You came to uni for the experience; the degree is just part of it.
MĀUI
You’re charming, clever and probably getting away with something you definitely shouldn’t. Somehow, you always have a plan, usually five minutes before the deadline.
RONGO-MĀ-TĀNE
You’re thoughtful, observant and quietly ambitious. You don’t need to be the loudest person in the room, you’re already thinking three steps ahead.
HINEAHUONE
You’re warm, social and full of life. You make people feel welcome without even trying, and somehow you’re always the one getting everyone together for kai.
