WHILE YOUR BEDAN journey officially starts today, we know that it’s a struggle to keep everything afloat. So when you find yourself in doubt, just visit this article for a little tap on the shoulder for encouragement.
We know that rainy days will come not only literally, but also figuratively in your college days. And being overwhelmed by a new environment and people may happen especially as a freshman. Don’t worry, we completely understand you because like what the ‘oldies’ usually say, “been there, done that ”. Yup, we also had our own storms, it wasn’t always sunshines and rainbows inside the university. And that my dear new lion is just okay, because that’s the reality—of college life. This was inspired by a feature article made by our former Editor-in-Chief, Nicole Rile back in our 2020 issue.
