Student Corner

On a matter of basic human nature, we are forever in a quest looking for the best version of life. The ‘Perfect Fit’, is a dream and a goal. It’s what we aim to achieve. The perfect job, the perfect partner, the perfect house and the perfect image of what life, is supposed to look like.

“The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else’s highlight reel” – Steven Furtick.

This is the fifth 9 AM lecture I’ve missed in a row. Should you be worried? Is this another one of those depression induced lay-ins? Or is it just another late night of listening to indie rock and playing Cards Against Humanity? You saw me last night, I seemed to be alright, my smiles were...

I’ve been recruited today, I excitedly wait For my first task on the job To be entrusted With my eagerness and charm I shall do no harm Like let coffee spill (The previous one did, So he’s been done and dusted); I’m more travel friendly And less worse for wear – Rest assured, I wear no Monocles...

I last night reading Antigone and Oedipus,

The Greek Tragedy, the Epic, the Romantic, his adventures at Colonus,

I spent last night awake, listening to Vivaldi,

Soaking in lives lived long ago, in that little melody.

You know, when you’re joining college, there’s...

When I look at you, the words fall out of my mouth like waterfalls,

It’s like I don’t even have to try,

Like the joy you get walking past puppy-petting stalls,

How I could just grab you and gaze into your eyes.

Wherever I go or whosoever I talk to,

For once, I’ve been taken out

And opened on a desk –

I’m excited, this kind of attention

Is reserved for a test,

And suddenly it seems as if

I’m covered in writing,

The anxiety is evident –

The pen’s nib is biting;

These aren’t doodles...

A tough year! A tough year, indeed! All was good, and all was bad, and what I was left with in the end was a feeling of exhaustion, more than anything else, which might have been dominated by despair, but had traces of skipped heartbeats, shy smiles and even extreme euphoria.

For once, I’ve been taken out
And opened on a desk –
I’m excited, this kind of attention
Is reserved for a test,
And suddenly it seems as if
I’m covered in writing,
The anxiety is evident –
