The right path to take.
I know I’m not the only one that’s lost in life. I know there are many people in the world cannot afford to make their own decisions– or rather, are too afraid to make their own decisions. I am not an exception to that. Everyday, I face the pressure from others and myself. It’s inevitable, whoever you are. We’re always bombarded with choices but we never know which is the right path to take. Really, what is the right path? Is there such a thing?
At the moment, I don’t know whether I should find my first job or focus on my academic studies. (more…)

I feel like I can’t let go.
I don’t consider my love life a journey through many paths, but it just has a lot of ups and downs. I’m always told not to turn around and linger in my past because it’s already gone. I feel like I remember every path I’ve considered and every path I’ve taken. I feel like I could turn around and walk back the way I came. But life doesn’t work that way. I know, because I’ve tried.
We know that, sometimes, its not our faults but it just turns out to be. A “change in personality”, they say. That happened twice to me. Two of my most cherished relationships ended because they claim to have their personalities changed overnight. (more…)

My last chance.
In less than three months, I will be entering my last year of secondary school education. With this in mind, I reminisce back to the last year of elementary school; I was excited and proud to enter the next stage of my life. I don’t feel the same as I did. I’m feeling nervous and worried that my Gr. 11 grades will not be enough to get me early acceptance into that particular program in that particular university. But there is one last chance. The coming school year.
In preparation of the coming school year, I have planned my courses again. (more…)

How to keep a secret boy/girlfriend from family.
If you’ve found the person you want to be with and you are restricted from dating for unreasonable reasons, you may consider having a secret boy/girlfriend. This takes a lot of skill and dedication because keeping a secret boy/girlfriend is actually quite stressful. That’s unless, you really like them and think it’s worth it. There are benefits to keeping a secret boy/girlfriend because since it’s so hard to maintain, you know immediately when it’s not worth it. To plan a date so thoroughly and mentally painfully for someone you don’t really like, it’ll be hard to drag on your feelings for them. There are other benefits too, such as saving yourself from embarrassment if you do break up. People would’ve never guessed you two were together. (more…)

Is getting high grades as important as we think?
Education. We already know that it is important and beneficial for our lives and society. Often, our ability to learn is based on the results-or rather, our percentages/marks. Even if we get perfect on all tests, does that mean we really do understand the content and can apply it to life? My brother says no, probably because he wasn’t good at school or learning to start with. It’s true though; there are people who are good at academic studies but cannot efficiently work in a workplace, and vice-versa. So does it really matter to get perfect on your tests? My brother thinks not. (more…)
