The weeks leading up to the school year are always a busy time: finalizing courses, buying fancy pens, setting new school year resolutions. This time around, though, my back-to-school preparation is an entirely new beast. Instead of returning to my…
A Series of Unfortunate Grades
You’ve probably heard this a lot, right? You’ve heard it from your teachers, from leaders at your orientation, even from your heart. It’s in the same league of common knowledge that tells you not to write “LOL WTF” to conclude…

Study Time Playlist
I feel like I’m not the only person in the world who’s had trouble focusing on schoolwork. I mean if you’ve never had difficulty studying in your life, then I can only assume that you’re a deity that has ascended…
My School-Year Resolutions
Back in January, in the midst of all the New Year's hype, I made the same general resolutions I always do: Eat healthier. Exercise more. Try harder at school. I’m not ashamed to say that I usually break them within…
