  • Aptitude test?

    I am serious this time. I’ve noticed that my brain doesn’t function well during aptitude tests. Whenever I attempt one, I struggle to finish it with proper concentration or the will to think through the answers.

    I am confident that this is the result of excessive exposure to social media. Lately, I’ve been so attached to it that sometimes I can’t even stay away for a minute. Now, I lack the confidence to tackle aptitude tests, and it’s bothering me.

    I’m concerned about what might happen going forward. Do others face similar circumstances? In my case, it’s affecting my aptitude, but for others, it could be different experiences. We find ourselves in situations where it seems we lose control of our lives, and instead, life starts controlling us. This is a serious matter that I need to address and take immediate action on. I hope such situations don’t occur for anyone else.

  • The perk of being the eldest child.

    The perk of being the eldest child in the family is that we tend to take on responsibilities earlier than others of the same age. Speaking from my life experiences, I can say that I was given the role of a big sister since the fourth grade. At times, I felt that I didn’t really enjoy my childhood like others did. I was expected to be a responsible sister to my younger siblings.

    Fast forward to my early adulthood, the first time I realized that I was entering the realm of adulthood was when I was 15 years old. I felt that my friends of my age were somewhat immature, and it seemed like I didn’t quite belong with them. Our choices and tastes were entirely different, and I found myself more in tune with my older friends. That’s when I truly felt like a grown-up.
