“the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances.”
(image credits to Peter Gowesky) 13th march, 2014: it’s been exactly ten days since I’ve received my ‘A’ Level results. ten days of wondering where I should go, what I should really immerse myself in for the rest of my life, and I’m regretting some of the choices I made two years ago.

“whenever you feel like criticizing any one…just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.”
(image credits to owner via link in clickable picture) no, I wasn’t feeling deep when I decided to write this post. something happened at work today that really made me think long and hard about how my academic journey has been so far, and the opportunities I’ve been beyond blessed to receive. let me start…
