Freedoms
Around 2 months ago, I came home to find my wireless router dead. It was very sad and ever since, i’ve had to stay in the corner of my room on my bed in order to access the internet via an ethernet plug. Being constricted to such a confinement felt trapping. Not being able to check my Facebook in the kitchen, chat online in the living room, or YouTube outside in the backyard, made me...

Seventeen Forever
Today is the day of my 18th Birthday, It’s very early in the morning, well for me it is. The reality of turning 18 didn’t really hit me until yesterday. I haven’t really been anticipating this event in the past few months because I think I was too busy focusing on school and finishing Year 12, so adding a digit to my age didn’t seem that important at the time. However...

Spring
In 2 days time I will be 18 years of age, and coming to that event i’m beginning to realise how more and more often, i’m looking at the world in new ways.

And when I turn the tables, when...

Finally after all these years, after all the hours of brain-aching studying, and effort, the curtain will be pulled to reveal these 4 digits. I remember the anxiety, that...

I know for a fact I’m tired… It’s past midnight and I should be falling asleep, but when i realised that i wasn’t going to get any (at least not for another few hours), I jumped off the bed and stumbled over to my IKEA desk with my MacBook to type up this blog post. Is it ironic that when we want sleep the most we don’t get it? I fall asleep so...

Skepticism
It’s late at night, and one of those infomercials comes on about skin care for women.You know these ads, they are constantly trying to persuade people to pull out their credit cards and dial so they can make another buck. One of the persuasive techniques they employ is personal experience. They obtain statements from women who have used the product and ask them about the benefits that such...

Infancy
This is the first time i’ve ever blogged. I’m an Infant blogger.Everyone begins at this kind of infancy stage in life in almost everything we do. The first obviously beginning after we’re born. But there are other times where we feel like we are entering a whole new world. From the first time we use a keyboard and begin to type. To the first time we enter college as freshmans....
