Noisy Silence
I've found myself in this predicament a lot more than usual in recent weeks: I want to write something, but I have no idea what that something is. It's not that I have no ideas, or that the ideas I have are too numerous to just pick one out of. Currently, there are three - no - four W.I.P. stories open in front of me. Frankly, I'm not sure what the problem is... but hopefully by the end of this, I'll have an inkling.

Should Grades Underestimate Our Own Potential?
Young folks like me approaching their rite of passage don't always grasp the psychological 'fight-or-flight' responses that exams continuously trigger. The constant self-imposed tension of competition amongst students takes the focus away from their true interests and fixates our targets on acknowledgement. Thus, as a student who humbly acted as a victim of these beliefs, I'm willing to do what it takes to shift the mentality towards exams, and how grade comparison overall doesn't reflect a person's capabilities!

Steady in the Storm
It’s often been said, “If you dislike change, you’re going to dislike irrelevancy even more.” One certainty as we navigate our personal and professional lives is this: there will be highs and there will be lows. How we handle each will ultimately dictate our happiness and success.
