Exams: A Survival Guide for the Unprepared
Exams are that magical time when students are expected to remember things they have successfully ignored for an entire semester. Topics that had zero relevance to life suddenly become urgent. You are asked to write answers to questions that even the person who set the paper doesn’t fully understand. And if you dare to be original? Congratulations. You will be punished for creativity.
The Coward’s Guide to Accidental Bravery
So how do you overcome fear? Not by wrestling it to the ground like some motivational buffalo. That only works in posters. In real life, fear is slippery.
GW-BASIC: The Original Survival Training for Programmers
GW-BASIC wasn’t just a programming language. It was a life decision made on your behalf by a committee you never met. It came bundled with MS-DOS in the early 1980s and just… stayed there—like a relative who arrived for a weekend and began critiquing your life choices. You didn’t install it. You didn’t download it.

Because the universe loves confidence the way a cat luvvrrsssss a glass of water sitting near the edge of a table. The moment you think, Ah yes, peace at last, some unseen cosmic clerk jerk stamps your file with: “Activate disorder with no further notice.”
Déjà Vu
A cold little shiver at the back of my skull, as if time had folded in on itself and let me glimpse a moment I had already lived, ruined, and buried. I hated that feeling. But hatred changes nothing. Some things enter your life like unwelcome guests and sit down as if they belong there.
No Pain, No Gain, No Thank You
That first sip did what motivational speakers, wellness advice, and afternoon naps had all failed to do. It revived me. The coffee was strong, hot, and mercifully low on sugar — exactly how coffee should be when life has already disappointed you in other departments.
