“Coronavirus has made the mighty kneel and brought the world to a halt like nothing else could.

Fear of Public Speaking
The timer goes off. With chomped up papers in your hand, you sigh and collapse on your bed. No matter how hard you try, you just can’t seem to get it right. The presentation is tomorrow and all you can think about are the countless squinty eyes that will be staring at you, judging you,…
Aren’t We All So Judgy
Two years ago one of my greatest fear was being judged by others. I would wake up every single day in hopes that throughout my day, no one misinterprets my intentions, judge me based on what rumours they hear about me or my shortcomings. I believe I speak for the masses when I say that…
Judgment on others a good thing?
Everywhere in mainstream media, there is some sort of activism being applied regarding the acceptance of others’ differences.

I don’t know about you, but I had a very long list of things that I wanted to do during the break. From strategies of studying to even ways of improving my writing – I had all the fun and exciting activities that anyone would want to experience during their break. I was motivated to…
Curiosity Killed The Cat
Do aliens exist? Curious about where you’re gonna end up in life, with our – sometimes – lack of common sense?? Did that famous astronaut really land on the moon? Yeah well, our curiosity is endless; especially as teens, we sometimes find ourselves wondering about the most random things that just pop up in our…
Last Minute People… I’m one of them
One of the issues that we go through as students – besides stressing over our summative – is procrastination. We get home after a long and stressful day at a school, we tell ourselves “I’ve got tons of homework and reviews to do, when I get home It’ll be the first thing that I do”….
