  Heyy, Welcome back!! So, what you might read today, might not necessarily apply to if you haven’t had braces but if you want to know about what the procedure is and how it works this is your place. I got braces in 7 th grade. Not gonna lie, it was weird. Well at-least for a few weeks. I was just starting school and 2 days before I had those super painful brackets put on my teeth. They added A-LOT of pressure on my teeth and I had to survive on ‘khichri’ for an entire week! No, no, I don’t mean to scare you here. It wasn’t THAT terrible. I had them for two years and to be frank, they were one of my best years. They really suited my face and once I had them off, I cannot emphasize this enough, I looked bad. I looked so bad for a few weeks without them but lucky for me, no one could see it because of my mask :) I didn’t have a lot of struggle with them. I could have all I wanted without even feeling it. The only thing I had to give up was having gum. Which wasn’t very easy for me g...

Heyy!! Welcome back! C’mon, we’ve all experienced this at least once in our life. Whether it’s for an exam or a competition, we’ve all had a nervous breakdown a day before or gotten that weird feeling in our gut, haven’t we? Well, trust me when I say that it's normal. It happens to a lot of people mostly because they’re anxious about the outcome. Some of you might also experience it if you come from a family or school that puts a lot of pressure on you. A lot of you guys might spend time worrying about the result rather than actually working hard and implementing it. I’ve seen a lot of people go through this kind of thing and have learned a lot of coping mechanisms too.  Some of my favourites would include-   Taking breaks: Don’t overexert yourself because you will lose focus over time and won’t be able to concentrate. Ultimately, you’ll end up forgetting the stuff you learnt which’ll build more stress.  Making notes: I started doing this ever since I was in 6th grade and...

  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 i...
