17 POWERFUL TRUTHS I LEARNED AT UNI TO GUIDE ONE’S LIFE DECISIONS UPON
It was warm outside. Lots of noises. Birds. Wind in the trees. Traffic. High-school students during their break. Looking down the window from the classroom, I could hear my colleague saying that her sister was learning about cognitive neuroscience and psychology and because of that she discovered that there are a lot of chemical reactions in the brain. A lot of stuff going on there and I was intrigued. So, I imagined myself studying psychology, and during the breaks of my courses I would sit at a cafe shop and enjoy the readings of a good book explaining the processes of our brains and becoming highly skilled at figuring out people. That was a random break in May 2014 when I was still in high-school deciding what to study for Uni.

Perseverance
With the landing of Perseverance on Mars today, and the next part of her journey just beginning, I am reminded that I have my own journey to continue. In my struggles with life change, I had been thinking about not continuing. But as she rolls out, I had best do the same and do a system's check and get on with it; there is not time to waste!

Study plan
The Importance of Creating a Good Study Plan Many students find themselves procrastinating a lot, especially when they are doing their studies, or they are not able to follow their current study plan sincerely. This leads to poor performance in the study of students. A study plan is a very significant tool that helps a student to have a sense of accountability and excellent organization. A study plan is not the only timetable. A study plan is broader than time table. It explains the method to deal with the challenges student is facing in each subject. One should draw an effective study plan to attain the target goals. All items should be attended in the order of priority.

America's First Examples of Progressive Women Fighting Patriarchy & Racial Barriers
In Colonial and post-colonial times in America, marriage was a sure way of securing a well fitted social and economic class rather than freely loving someone and having the option to choose who to marry. Although the rhetoric of affectionate marriage in the early national period presents marriage as a matter of individual choice rooted in emotion, the two novels I analyze force the reader to recognize that marriage is, in the 18th century seduction novel Coquette, primarily a means of economic and social mobility, and in the 19th century historical romance Hobomok, a mechanism of settler-colonialism and racial preservation. These time periods birthed a new type of woman in society that pushes back against being drawn in and trapped by the archaic traditions of marriage that society has set in place for women. Two texts from this time period that exemplify and use the idea of marriage as a means of economic and social mobility is the Coquette by Hannah Webster Foster and Lydia Maria Child’s Hobomok. While each story portrays marriage in their own way, both women protagonists refuse, and fight their societies view of who they should marry. In the Coquette Eliza tries to assert free will but comes to see how her choices have repercussion and her free willed spirit becomes her downfall. As for Mary Conant the American rebel, in Hobomok her situation becomes a bit more complex with racial issues closely intertwined with marital issues. Mary goes against her empirical Puritan society traditions of marriage by marrying Hobomok an Indian before turning around and ending up marrying into a European middle-class family to Mr. Brown. Eliza and Mary are seen juggling relationships between two men and this love triangle dynamic gives a good insight on the complications and the stress of societies constraints on marriage and relationships. The Coquette shows us that marriage remains a primarily economic arrangement, despite the period's rhetoric of affectionate marriage. Hobomok shows us that marriage in the 19th century as a domestic frontier novel is primarily an arrangement meant to preserve racial purity in society over their faith.

Faking it in the Classroom?
Three weeks away from the mandatory teacher training before the beginning of the new school year and I once again ask myself, "Am I really qualified to do this?" It is a question I ask repeatedly throughout each academic year as a miasma of feelings overwhelm my time in the classroom. And I am not alone in this concern. I have had conversations with my colleagues where this exact sentiment is at the forefront of their own professional thoughts.

THOUGHTS ON HOW I PLAN TO LEARN MULTIPLE LANGUAGES AT THE SAME TIME
First, we need to start with attitude and thinking patterns around learning a foreign language. I would like to start by addressing the perfectionism idea behind learning foreign languages, especially if it comes to learning multiple languages at the same time. There are these needs people have to become perfect in their target language, or to be perfect while learning a foreign language or to do it right and hard and with the perfect effort to have perfect results. And that’s because we fear rejection. We fear we are not going to be good enough if we do not do it perfectly. This is going to be even harder to take in if the one you feel you are disappointing is yourself because you have set up incredibly non-achievable goals and objectives.

Women’s Deception and Delusion in Daphne du Maurier’s Don’t Look Now
The works of Daphne du Maurier capture more than the mind of the reader; they cast a spell on the very soul of those who read just one of her entrancing stories. She is able to carefully omit information to create mind-blowing conclusions that are so skillfully harmonized. Her novels and stories were written over several decades when women were not expected to be at the forefront of a story, yet her collection of short stories profoundly tend to focus on a female lead. Du Maurier’s short stories “Indiscretion”, “Kiss Me Again, Stranger”, “La Sainte-Vierge”, “Spilt Second”, and “The Blue Lenses”, though different in context, share a common theme. From cheating to murder, ghastly encounters to the in-between, and all forms of hallucinations alike, deception and delusion dominate du Maurier’s works collected in her book Don’t Look Now.

How To Make An Effective Study Plan?
There is a thin line of difference between study hard and study smart and what makes the difference is how you plan your studies. An effective study plan is a balance of keeping all the subjects and important topics handy and focusing more on the subjects and the topics that require more attention. If planned effectively your last-minute hurdle and last breadth mug-ups before entering the examination hall.
