Goodbye 2020 ~ A Bizarre, Ambigous & Saddening Year!

Image
At the beginning of 2020, I was optimistic for it to be a happy, exciting and productive year. Instead, it began with slight sadness & tension but nothing too significant or life-changing. Yet again, it may have been a warning to what was to come & have a life-changing impact on everyone around the world. The first few months went exceptionally well for me - from January until mid-March: got a job at an office environment - journalism-related and attended numerous outings. 😁💪 But from then on life, started to take a turn for the worst & went downhill. It was an unexpected turn of events - very baffling for many, including myself. All this was due to a horrible & life-threatening virus knowns as Corona or Covid - 19.   Suddenly restrictions came in place in the UK and, everyone was anxious and concerned at the sudden & worrying situation. I was very annoyed that I could not do the things I would do daily, including going to the gym - an activity I'm very much f...

Smartphones within Education.

Image
The constant tap-tapping of fingers eager to explore the invented world of a smartphone, an everlasting trend that has evolved in the 21st century. A modern device that has kept the entire world engaged with its presence, distancing one from the ongoing reality of life. Preferably wooing the world with unlimited leisure through the numerous options. In fact, it is a fascinating product that would be unmissable to have even for student life - a device that might enhance one’s opportunity to greatness. Lately, it has been brought to attention by The Guardian that banning smartphones from classrooms could have a negative impact on education. Using a smartphone during lessons is considered the biggest distraction. Reportedly, it has been predicted that roughly around 2.6 billion people around the world is going to become smartphone users. Lecturers frown upon them being visible or used by a student in their lectures for leisure purposes. From the students' perspective, it has made...

The Misinterpreted Image of a Larger than Life Legend

Image
I've made discoveries & researched on a variety of matters, particularly on people for some time now. To be precise, it began in 2009 with Micheal Jackson.  I get intrigued or fascinated about someone or something then I start investigating or researching in great depth. Anyhow, no one has up until now fascinated or surprised me more than a well-known and highly admired rapper aka actor.  Unfortunately, he is no longer with us, yet he is still very much relevant and current even to this day! Before now, I would often hear his name and a bit about him. I guess the basic stuff, him being a well-established rapper, dearly loved, his iconic styles and conspiracy theories on him 'faking' his death (something that has spun about for ages). So as mentioned I only knew, the basics about this legend - nothing more, nothing less. However, recently, I decided to know more about this highly controversial yet gifted human being. I've always sensed there was something m...

Angelina's Nightmare - Alone & Helpless...

Image
I'm Angelina. I'm 18 years old. A damaged and fragile 18-year-old whose life changed two years ago. I was at my house in Wembley, and it was nighttime. I was home all by myself since my parents went out to attend a funeral. I was eagerly waiting for them to return as I was scared to be left alone in a grand house during the late hours of the night.  As I was waiting, I started to get very sleepy - my body felt exhausted. So, I closed my eyes and wrapped myself in a cosy blanket and dozed off to sleep. Half an hour later, I woke up to the sound of the doorbell. I presumed it was my parents, so I immediately got up and hurried down the stairs with relief. However, when I got to the door and opened it, there was no one there. I swiftly shut the door and began panicking and, my breathing got heavier.  I was petrified. My heart was beating rapidly to the point where I thought it would just stop and I would die. My blood was rushing, and my teeth stuttered, causing my body to sh...

The Struggles of a Graduate...

Image
Three years of hardcore concentration, tears, and constant hard work to obtain a BA degree and become a qualified journalist, a profession Diana longed for since acknowledging the value of education and realizing her potentials. She put a lot of effort into ensuring she succeeds and eventually graduates with a good grade. Diana is optimistic and has a positive approach towards nearly everything she does, including obtaining a degree and finding a job within her field of study. At the same time, she was still aware that accomplishing such a desire would not be that straightforward. Nonetheless, she never imagined it would be too draining and almost impossible either. It has become widely known that graduating with a degree does not guarantee a job relevant to the field of study. People like Diana feel the pressure of this even more as she not only has to fight her way through the employment industry, she has to deal with being 'unique' and persuade the hiring companies that s...

A Young Student got Viciously Attacked...then Stabbed to Death!!! On Friday morning, a teenager got mugged, near Wembley Park. His name was Yousuf, and he was 16 years old. He was walking to school while being fully occupied with his phone and all of a sudden, a strange-looking guy appeared out of nowhere, from behind. The stranger was dressed in a hoodie, blue - ripped up jeans and white trainers. He was demanding Yousuf's phone and wallet.  Yousuf froze out of fear. He was shocked and terrified - not knowing what to do. Out of fear, the 16-year-old reluctantly passed over his phone and wallet then attempted to escape the unknown stranger but unfortunately got stabbed by the violently, leaving him to bleed. Yousuf was known as a confident, friendly individual with an outgoing characteristic. The lad was studious, but he also enjoyed socialising with pals and having fun. At a tender age, he had a great interest in becoming a future successful business perso...
