Sometimes Mr. Right’s a SHE

It seems that every woman is looking for the perfect man. The one and only Mr. Right. Does this Mr. Right really exist? I myself really do believe that he really does. But sometimes, he’s a she.

However now that I've spent 9 years overseas, I realized that there were alot of things that I should've been grateful for when I was studying. I've just recently started seeing Perth as a permanent home and I decided to make a list of things I feel international students should be grateful for.

The Simplest Diagram Explaining Depression and Anxiety

3 Reasons Why You Should Be Selfish

We live in a society where the negative is highlighted while the positive is either underrated or ignored. Coming from an Asian family (I hate to reinforce stereotypes but they are there cause there's always some truth in them) there's a lot of pressure to succeed academically when I was young. It was always "Aunty XX's daughter got a scholarship/straight A's/won a competition/plays the piano" and the list goes on and on...
