Hello everyone. I think it's been roughly a week or two since I last update. Since then quite a bit has happened. For one, last Friday the government here declared that we'll be going into a soft lockdown and thus all out school activities got cut short. Before that, we already sort of went into a phase where teaching week ended and everyone was just doing consultations and working on our assignments. But then last Friday, we paused our work and huddled around the table for an hour as the prime minister declared so and we went into a mini panic frenzy as we waited for our professor to tell us what to do next. He told us that this final assignment is cancelled and ungraded and everyone started packing up. Fast forward a week later, I've been sort of trapped in my room and I'm losing my mind. In all honestly, I would usually enjoy this solitude but I feel unsettled since we left a lot of assignments hanging, the semester sort of left us...
Hey beautiful monkays! I know, I know /pats head/. It's been a while. BUT WE'RE BACK! Somewhat. So now back to the topic. You see, kids. These days, to us teenagers, we perceive that "girls" are always soft, weak and (oh the horror) useless. Hence, the making of the video #LikeAGirl. This amazing and touching video shows the power of perception as one grows up and goes through puberty. It shows how teens perceive those "girls" and little girls below the age of 10 perceive themselves. They were asked a series of questions, by order: 1. Run like a girl 2. Fight like a girl and finally 3. Throw like a girl Yes, and as we teens do it - well, the teenagers all pretended to be soft, weak and insulting to all those girls out there as they ran flimsily, did the "cat fight" and threw clumsily. Whereas the little girls ran with all their might, punched with all their little hearts and threw with all their might! All in all, GIRLS are AWE...
