I’ve always had problems taking standardized tests. I do much better in project-based classes. This is the reason I took Digital Cinema and now I’m in Radio and Television. In my old program, I kept at least a 3.4 GPA at my worst. Since switching, I’ve maintained a...
From kickabouts with your best buddies in local playgrounds to renowned stadiums across the world. From sipping lime juice after these playground sessions to constantly being under the limelight. This is the immense leap that athletes must make at a tender age to...
Billy Beane, Oakland Athletics General Manager, once said, “no one [cares] unless you win the last game of the season.” It served as the thesis of the film Moneyball, which was largely based on his time as General Manager at the Athletics. It’s a bitter sentiment, but...

The UCP put forward new policy proposals and resolutions in the 2023 AGM. The resolutions are generally good, and they’ve done a lot of housekeeping to ensure the government runs a bit smoother going forward. But a lot of the problems lie in the policy proposals. You...
