Start of Something New [Weekly Catch Up 1]

Afternoon everyone!

Welcome back to my blog! I hope the first week of 2020 has treated you well. How did you spend the new years? Did you make any new year resolutions?

Since I am out of school, I have been seeing friends and getting more fresh air. I've also been working on the novel that I planned during the last couple of months of 2019. I attempted to write it as a nanowrimo but I decided that I wanted to work more slowly to make sure that the story is absolutely perfect. I am so connected to these characters and the story that it felt like an injustice to simply rush through it.

On new years eve, I went for food with a friend to Busaba. We had nice vegetarian wok-fried noodles. Busaba was so amazing. The food was so flavoursome and the restaurant had such a good atmosphere.


On new years day, I met up with some friends on new years day at Old Dutch at Holborn. We planned to walk back home but we were all too full of pancakes to walk the entire way. 

Finally, I met up with another friend on Friday and we went to a Nepalese restaurant that does the best dumplings. The food was incredibly full of spices and warmth. For dessert, we went to Creams in Stratford and got cookie dough. It was amazing as always. 



During the interim days, I worked on job applications and my story. It surprisingly consumes so much time. I also watched through Anne with an E and I cannot wait to finished season 3. I might post a cool little review because I strongly think that Anne with an E is the best thing I've seen this entire decade (apart from Joker). Have you guys watched it? I highly recommend!

I hope next week brings you a lot of joy and happiness and I will see you in my next post!

Sincerely Sinthu

Why You Should Vote

Afternoon, everyone! Let's talk about the general election. It's just a week away and there are so many reasons why we should vote. The parties are all making so many promises and proposals for new policies. We need to get out there and decide what we want for the future. Regardless of whether you support one party or another party, just get out there and vote and make sure your voice is heard. Voting impacts how things are in your community and your life.  So why vote? Sure, you might say that you'll have no influence and no impact on the outcome. You might even be completely disinterested in politics and the news but not voting will mean that other people will decide how your entire world is run. From Brexit to education, from the environment to the NHS, it will be decided by someone else. Voting is deciding what policies should proceed and policies make real-life changes. Your vote will impact a whole plethora of different and important aspects of your life so...

SMART Goal Setting

Afternoon, everyone! So let's talk about goal setting. Who has set up a bunch of new years' resolution? Who has failed at keeping to it? I think it's safe to say most of us use the new year to improve ourselves in some way but often times it just doesn't work. I was taught a wonderful method of creating goals in therapy that has really helped with achieving my goals. According to the Chartered Management Institute , the technique was introduced by Peter Druker and G.T. Doran and has been praised for its effectiveness. So what is it? The SMART follows the form of an acrostic poem in which each letter of the word 'SMART' spells out a word that you should keep in mind when creating a goal. S pecific: when creating a goal, you have to very specific on exactly what you are seeking to achieve. Let's use running a marathon for example. Simply writing 'run a marathon' is not going to help you visualise exactly what you are seeking to do. It doesn...

How To Answer a Problem Question

Afternoon, everyone! Happy New Year everyone! So exams are around the corner so let's get back to basics. This is for my law students whose exams contain problem questions.  Let's go over how to answer a problem question. This post will be incredibly general so be wary of what is expected of you from your relevant module or criteria to make sure you pick up all the marks. 1) Read your question and highlight all the key variables. Usually, the last paragraph will give you an idea of what the examiner is expecting you to answer. Make a big mental note of this to make sure you are not putting down way more than you need to. Having this in your head will help you tailor your answer better. The key question is what does your client actually want to know? 2) When writing, introduce what the client wants advice on so that the examiner knows that you have understood exactly what the question is asking you to do. A simple one to two lines will be sufficient. 3) Is there a part...
