Lost in transition
I never used to like travelling, especially travelling overseas.

These figures are strikingly low compared…

In defense of killjoys
Facebook timelines are pesky things. While much of my time on this social media site is dedicated to schoolwork on various class Facebook groups (promise), it is also a common practice to scroll down the news feed and see what everyone is posting. One particular post bothered me so much I find myself writing about…
