If my essay were…
May 6, 2019
I love writing essays. There is no sarcasm intended in the previous sentence. I genuinely do. I love writing it, responding to the question, and seeing it as a unique way for me to express myself. But perhaps many of us don’t. We detest the coursework our professors set for us. We hate the pain …
Rest.
April 22, 2019
I remember working incredibly hard as a high school student in Singapore. As a student in one of the best schools there, it felt like a constant competition. I would wake up at 6am, start our morning assembly at 730am, and then begin lessons at 8. We would often have lessons till 3pm, before we …

November 25, 2014
This week I’m going to vent my frustrations towards virtually-impossible-to-stick-to word limits, as I’ve been having a fun filled time writing my project proposal (psychology’s version of a dissertation) and sending off a graduate job application. Unlike essay word counts (which can be bad enough) these are short answer questions – just what can you …
Dear Diary,
December 16, 2012
Seeing as I wrote my first blog from home, it seems rather appropriate to be writing this blog about the last week of term from the very same place. Everything has gone full circle. So it has been a pretty hectic week and with essays handed in, I have been inspired to add some structure …
