1. I wanted to do this for so long.

I figured out that blogging is a decent way to collect, as well as share, my random thoughts and ideas. A good portfolio eh? I had this wish to blog since I was sixteen, for I always debate with myself in my mind... I hope someone gets what I'm talking about. But of course blogging publicly means I have to be extra careful with what I write, I think you might know why.

2. To improve my English Proficiency

Not much elaboration here, I just think that there's so much more room for improvement for my language skills.

3. Get Psyched

I'm interested to further my studies in the field of Psychology (interested meaning, I have yet to get that placement for my desired degree course la) *fingers crossed I can get the offer hehe*

I suggest that it may be helpful if I knew how to come up with some summarized outcomes of whatever I learn from reading materials? I mean no harm trying, I hope.

《毕业季》

《毕业季》毕业季——一个充满希望和感动的季节。欢笑声连连，泪水满溢，我们在这个时刻感受到人生的重大转折。我喜欢毕业季的气氛，因为它不仅带来了对未来的憧憬，还让我们重新审视自己的梦想。看到哥哥与爸妈拍起毕业照，见证学长学姐上台领奖，我不禁想象：我毕业时会是什么样子呢？ “吸引力法则：明年就轮到你了！加油！” 父母无条件的支持是我在求学生涯中最强大的后盾。他们的爱和信任提醒我，要努力学业，写好论文，毕业后找到一份稳定的工作积累经验，再尽快考研——不要啃老，因为我没有条件可以这样耗下去。生活中的不确定性常常让人感到窒息。我会担心论文最终会是什么样子，能否与临床心理学相关，成绩是否能再提升，能否获得一等学位，是否能成为最杰出的毕业生，考研是否能成功？即将毕业的我们就像在跑一场无限马拉松。不确定能否抵达终点，也不知道还要跑多久才能到达。我们不停地问前方的人还有多久会到，试探着前方的风景是否值得我们用尽全力向前奔跑。所以这条路到底有没有尽头，有没有出口？成为临床心理师一直是我的第一志愿，也是我在生活中前进的最大动力。这个专业不热门，也没有特别吃香。有人说这是阿猪阿狗都会念的科系，有人说读这科没有前途，赚不多。有人说这条路会很辛苦，不读硕士根本找不到工作。甚至有学长学姐会劝退，问我确定要读这科吗，以我的成绩读这科是否浪费了。那天出门遇到老朋友。 “你是国大的医学生吧？” 我摇摇头，“心理学系，三年级。” “哦哦你没拿到第一志愿吧？被拒了？” 其实，这不是我第一次听到类似的话了。我常想，是我表现得不够热爱吗？ “生命必须保持清醒，也混沌不明。” 我，清醒吗？那天为了完成作业，访问了一位毕业近十年的学姐。她从事这个行业已久，有在政府部门打工的心酸，也有在私立诊所打拼的无奈。她回忆起当年写论文的恐惧，也提到老师鄙视他们作品时的痛苦，质问他们当硕士生的资格。她说多年打工的薪水永远不够，想升职还得看辈分，工作上也有很多额外的事务要处理。听了这么多苦涩的经历，应该会退缩吧？但奇怪的是，那场访问后，我反而更加坚定。我知道这条路很辛苦，很不容易，但我有一种强烈的感觉，这是我一生想做的事，这件事会让我有成就感。以前成绩一出来，很多人质疑——真的不出国吗？不会浪费吗？怎么不去读医学？心理学，是不是你的后备方案？每当这些问题出现，我感觉每个人都在拼命戳破我像泡泡一样的志...

Into The Undergraduate World of Psychology BD_Y1S1: Uncertainty and Overwhelm

"Into The Undergraduate World of Psychology BD_Y1S1: Uncertainty and Overwhelm " A non-academic summary of my first semester in university as an undergraduate student. "...the beauty of the red-brick buildings thereof was just inspiring," my favorite line from my personal statement for my university application. To me, this line reflects how naive I was, for I did not know what was coming. I liked to think that I was ready to embrace the unknowns during my time as an undergraduate... In my secondary school and pre-university years, I made much effort to get information on psychology studies; watching YouTube videos, listening to podcasts, attending offline/ online workshops, texting seniors... you name it, I did everything I could to make myself "feel prepared" for this degree. I feel a bit embarrassed to say this, but I had my whole academic journey planned out, from A to Z, how I wanted to do postgraduate studies and all that... it was kind of subtle,...

A Volunteer Program Behind Gates and Bars

"A Volunteer Program Behind Gates and Bars" 23rd June 2023, my second consecutive Friday without rehearsals for major events in my university. It was a lazy lazy Friday, no lectures, no master of ceremony (MC) practices. At 9.01am, a string of forwarded messages popped up and caught my attention. I was contemplating, whether to volunteer myself, or not, for a few reasons: 1. I did not know the exact date for my German exam. 2. 26th July was the date for my last paper of the semester, which happened to also be the date of evaluation for the programme. 3. One of my presentations, with the time tba, would be on the date of the programme briefing 4. I was scared and uncertain(?) I have always been a fan of watching YouTube videos about criminal psychology and prison (Inside the Probation Service & Inside Maximum Security by CNA, as well as Behind Bars by Free Documentary, JCS criminal psychology, and the list goes on). Not to mention, 《怒火街头》（Ghetto Justice) was, and IS sti...
