Embarrassing Moments in School

-

 Hello everyone!

Welcome back <3

We've all at some point been through epically hilarious and embarrassing moments at school. 
Many at times, the situation may have landed us in trouble and also led to a great amount of overthinking, but nevertheless, we've got ourselves out of it pretty soon. 

I recently went through a very embarrassing situation at school (haha I'm not disclosing what happened), and the way I handled the situation led to a ✨moment of past reflection✨

Back when I was in 7th grade, I used to freak out whenever I went through anything  that would involve me coming under the limelight - I'm talking profuse sweating and a burning sensation in the throat freak out. 

Now, in 11th Grade, when I went through (what I went through at school), I didn't have this feeling for the first time. Instead, I laughed it off. 

And that's when it hit me - laughing it off was the best solution.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not implying that we should laugh at any given situation that has landed us in trouble, but learn to recognise silly ones that are not worth racking your brains over.

Most of us are wired to freak out over an often silly situation. How much ever you'd wanna run away, people are more likely to forget about it if you laugh at yourself or make a joke and deal with it confidently.

We've all heard of the saying: "People won't remember your embarrassing moments when you grow up", but they will while you're in high school. So, instead of beating yourself up for it every time it comes up, forgive yourself and let yourself move on from it - people will soon too.

Don’t dwell on it. It's not worth it.

My purpose of authoring this post, is less of awareness and more of a reminder to my seventh grader self and everyone that these moments pass and probably might turn up to be a great conversation starter once. 
Also, side note, if you have seen a person go through an awkward situation in school, try to be a good person and not make it uncomfortable for the victim by bringing it up all the time - they probably might not enjoy that. 

That was it for today's post! Hope y'all enjoyed reading it. Don't forget to share and comment for more content, every Friday!

Signing off,
Kuhu :)

Starting High School

  Heyy!  So, most of you are either in high school or nearing it. I started 9 th grade in June amidst a global pandemic! Of course, it hasn’t been easy but what made it worse was the great pressure that came. Schools closed down in march but if you’re an Indian reading this, chances are, your tuition's had started in mid-April.   I was completely overwhelmed with the entire process of the transition. Where we used to have hardly 3 chapters a subject for school now, we got 15 page long 8 chapters each term! To top it off, the 1 st term portion comes in the other terms too! Now I’m not trying to scare you but just want to share my experience on how I felt and how I overcame the overwhelming feeling. So initially, I had a hard time coping up with the stress. I had received terrible reviews from my seniors about 9 th grade. In early April I had received my books and naturally I was very excited to read and go through them. I was 3 pages into my physics textbook then it hit me. I WAS

Teacher Cyber-bullying

-

  Something that has become prevalent now more than ever; a nother type of cyber-bullying, ‘teacher bullying’ is literally the act of teasing them online.   We all know that social media urges people to act impulsively online. A lot of people make accounts by their teachers’ name or post their pictures online or make ‘memes’ out of them. It might make you laugh or might feel relatable but you need to know when to draw the line. There are some which are simply offensive and cannot be tolerated at any cost. How can you stop? STOP POSTING VIDEOS OF THEM WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION! Stop posting their pictures on your story with weird filters and stuff because it's RUDE!    Probably show them SOME respect? I don’t think its so hard. They’re working on a platform completely new to them to teach YOU and they are trying their best. It is disappointing to see how we treat them after what they do to help us.   Try putting yourself in their shoes. They just want what’s best for us and it’s

(famous) Animated films x Life Lessons

 I have been a movie buff for as long as I can remember. My 2 favourite categories: Bollywood and Animation. Now in the past, I've authored multiple posts on Bollywood (check them out here! ) but I realised, I've never written one on the latter! Animated films formed the crux of my childhood. While as a kid I absolutely loved the visuals and music, it was only when I became a teen and started to realise the depth behind each film. Animated films are NOT kid films. They're so much more than that. And when I realised this, I thought, why not write a blog on it, hmm? So, here are my favourite animated films which I beg you to watch at least once in your life! Number 1: The Kung Fu Panda series Po is the goofball you absolutely need in your life. The writers neither missed the comedic timing of his antics nor the subtle life lessons exuded through each of the films. It teaches you to believe in yourself. Yes you can be a panda and a dragon warrior in the same go. Yes, you can f

The "Therapist Friend"

 Hello and welcome back everyone! HAPPY 100TH POST!! A lot of us may have come across the term "Therapist Friend" of a group. The stereotypical description of the same would look something like this: The quiet, calm, cool and collected one with the best advise whom anyone can approach for the minutest of inconveniences. A good listener is the basic trait possessed by them.  However, the fact still lies that most people misuse the term 'Therapist Friend.' A few months ago, I had authored a post titled ' Facebook Therapy Memes ' which led to this topic.      It was also suggested by a reader of my blogs and I found it to be extremely insightful considering it's high misuse, so I decided to throw a bit of limelight on the same. Without further ado, let's get to it. The phrase 'Therapist Friend', I believe, is a wrong term.  This is simply just my opinion but let me justify why. There is a significant mixing up of the term 'Friend' and a &#
