Tiny Teenage Tales

I did a 3-month internship at a law firm this summer, and these are the most important things I gathered. I will list them down if you are planning on doing one or if you just want to know what it is like. Internship - The position of a student or trainee who works in an organization, sometimes without pay, in order to gain work experience or satisfy requirements for a qualification.  Internships are very important from a career point of view. It builds your CV, enhances your practical knowledge and shows your future employer that you have prior experience of working in a professional setting. It is important to know that not every internship will pay you, as Google said, sometimes without pay . The main purpose of doing internships is to gain experience, along with make connections. No matter what course you are doing, having connections with people working in the same professional field you're aiming to work in is extremely important. They can be a future option to contact if you...

For me, 1st Year of uni seemed very long. It honestly felt like it was never-ending and after November, the assignments, the work load, the exams, it all doubled in quantity. However, I did enjoy it.   For someone like me, who studied Physics and Biology and Chemistry in high school and did not pay attention to essay writing or critical thinking, the first semester was challenging because I was suddenly exposed to things I wasn't used to. But of course, with a little understanding and practice, I ended up getting distinctions and merits.  So I have listed down the modules I took in Year 1, along with the general exam pattern and essential things to remember about them. 

  I have a record of logging in here every two years.  Anyway. Hi. Welcome back to me.  Honestly, I forgot I created this place years ago, and I don't know how but it popped up in my head at like 1:30 am on a weekday (I had work the next day) and for the next hour and a half, I laughed so hard reading my old posts. I mean, to be fair, I was like 13 or 14 back then. However, I removed quite a lot of posts and edited almost all of the others, and made a promise to myself, I will not abandon this again.  Although, I might, quite possibly, definitely, completely change my blog up.  I sometimes fail to realize that so much has happened in two years. I graduated high school. I've completed a year of law school. I'm interning at a law firm. I'm learning two languages. Okay never mind, that's pretty much all that has happened.  My internship is GREAT. It's AMAZING actually. The amount of knowledge and hands-on experience I received in just the first week was crazy....

I don't like to admit it, but yes, I do forget about this blog. Mainly because I don't have time to think of what to write about, also because I don't think I have anything interesting to talk about.  It's been a year and a half and I still am in the same class. Thanks to corona. Funny how last year we thought it would be a 2-3 month problem, but look at us now. Wearing a mask doesn't even feel absurd anymore. I'm tired of it, I really am. I do not like sitting at home all day, I want to go out I want to eat I want to make memories I want to visit places and I want to make a scrapbook out of every place I go. 

If you think that the term ‘gamer girl’ sounds sexist, you might be on to something. You have obviously never heard terms like ‘gamer guy’ or ‘gamer boy’, which proves that gender discrimination is prevalent in our society. Surveys suggest that the male to female ratio is PC, mobile, and PlayStation gaming is 1:1. If about 50% of gamers on all platforms are females, then why is this another industry linked to male domination?  It is true that both genders have different motivations and preferences for playing, but more than often their aspirations overlap. Many games have a bigger male audience and others are more popular among females. At the end of the day, there are no hard and fast rules; it is totally acceptable for a guy to love ‘Farmville’ and it is no criminal offense for a girl to fancy ‘Call of duty’.  Now let us bust five myths about gamer girls: They are Boys posing as Girls ‘All gamers are men’ is a popular belief that defies the existence of women who like video...

The difficulty in portraying sensitive subject matter like mental illness is in avoiding caricature while still depicting the reality of mental health disorders and the treatment of them.  The temptation a scriptwriter and director might have is to go for the shock value or to exaggerate the reality of mental illness.  There is also the tendency to use m...
