Senses & Scribbles

College is not that super struggle. You just have to find effective ways how to manage your college life from the very first day until you graduate. Do not absorb the mundane line, “College is difficult” because it’s usually said by those who haven’t yet figured out how they will survive college. You want to succeed, right? I believe that college is difficult BUT manageable.  Photo by Jeswin Thomas on Unsplash College is another new level of life-challenging experience you must go through and survive. In college, you are your self’s opponent. So, you need to work things out regardless of whether it goes the way you want or not, yet remember that what’s important is that you gained self-growth throughout the journey which will guide you to achieving your dreams and plans right after.  If you are a college freshman still checking out how you will deal with new faces, environment, and educational system (be it online class or face-to-face), then you should continue reading this....

Especially if You’re an Adult Photo by  Jessica Fadel  on  Unsplash Our taste for books varies as our individuality does. Yet, to say it frankly, some literary genres are bland and they offer no switcheroos to surprise readers who need a temporary escape from the grueling reality. Made-up stories by imaginative authors are undeniably innovative and more thrilling than narratives that show the usual experiences of real people in life.    This is not to question anyone’s favorite genre, but to clarify to those people who interfere with adults who prefer Middle-Grade and YA Fantasy or Fiction over others. You can’t blame them for their choice.    Why do we read? Is it to gain wisdom, learnings, or realizations from the story we have read? Isn’t it that Middle-Grade and YA Fantasy or Fiction give a better view of life even though they are creatively fictitious? Through literary criticism and analysis, we tend to obtain a deeper understandin...

  She’s a cool new shaper of Feminism       Photo source: Screen grabbed from Bridgerton (Season 2)/Netflix   I’m starting to theorize that Eloise Bridgerton hasn’t read any fairytale love story that I never heard of her fantasizing about her happy ending with her ideal man. She does not regularly observe propriety as other ladies do. She is not perfectly prim, but she must be commended.    When women are supposed to be domestically practical and to behave in a ladylike manner, Eloise on the contrary wants divergence.    Eloise is one of the most admirable characters in Bridgerton considering that her roles portioned for her family, best friend, and the Ton’s fashionable society makes the best of her. She might be rebellious but I find her actions reasonable. She speaks sensibly and she acts for a cause, she is underrated but she is a diamond.   You could not enjoy Bridgerton without Eloise. Perhaps you would not ...

          Photo source: Screen grabbed from Bridgerton Season 2/Netflix   Lady Portia Featherington is an iconic ambitious Ton momma. She is infamous to the Bridgerton fans because of her hard work in securing her daughters’ future through her ingenious schemes of putting them into a scandal with a bachelor she prefers. Lady Featherington is scared of a poor life that’s why she works harder to keep her family afloat after discovering that they are “broke” because of her husband’s gambling problems that even their daughters’ dowries were ventured away. Every mother knows and wants the best for her children, especially for their daughter/s. Ton mommas indeed push for marrying off their daughters to a man with enormous wealth and good title. Lady Featherington is after the security of their status in their fashionable society. So, is Lady Featherington a good momma?   Or I suppose, the questi...

    Photo by Keira Burton on Pexels I was asked, “ Can you forgive a cheater?” Love indeed makes people do stupid things like forgiving a cheater. Yes, it is ridiculous. And no, I don’t think cheaters deserve forgiveness from the person they cheated on. Forgiveness is not easy.  Girls, let me tell you this: Cheaters are not entitled to your mercy and forgiveness. Cheaters are never guilty of what they did because they only think of their happiness and pleasure. Some people were confused: what if the cheater was sorry for what he did? Girl, he shouldn’t have hurt you in the first place if he did love you. Some guys only realize their mistake once done. They may feel guilty, but they feel good about it. Undoubtedly, he might do it again.  Yet, if you wish to accept him back into your life, my unsolicited advice would be: better not. You cannot be friends with him or anything. Ditch your memories of him. Do not let him return to your life. He doesn’t deserve you. Or, ev...
