Therapy helped me accept that it’s okay to feel vulnerable. I’ve learned that there’s strength in acknowledging my feelings rather than hiding them.
Being authentic is crucial when making new friends. People appreciate honesty, and it helps build trust, which is the foundation of any strong friendship.

I had a friend who would often betray my trust. After a few incidents, I realized that I could no longer rely on them. It was tough, but I knew I had to distance myself for my own peace of mind.
I recognized a friendship was toxic when I found myself constantly anxious around that person. They always turned my successes into competition. I finally decided to distance myself for my mental health.
When I feel pressured, I take a moment to think about what I actually want, not what others expect of me. Standing by my own values helps me build stronger, more genuine friendships.
I remind myself that everyone has their own standards, and that’s okay. I try to be patient with myself and let my friends know what’s comfortable for me.
I use weekends to catch up on studying, leaving weekdays open for socializing. This way, I can relax with friends without the pressure of unfinished homework hanging over me.

Friendship conflicts in school are tricky because sometimes, your whole social group gets involved. I’ve learned that it’s better to keep things between the people involved and not let others influence the situation. Solving things directly can prevent the drama from escalating.
I used to let self-doubt hold me back, but I’ve learned that confidence comes from accepting who you are. I started focusing on my strengths, like my passion for art, and let go of the need to be perfect. It’s a work in progress, but I feel more confident every day.
One thing that makes my resume stand out is that I list any certifications or courses I’ve completed. For my cover letter, I focus on my passion for the job and give examples of how I’ve used my skills in real-life situations.
I love making personalized gifts like hand-painted mugs and keychains. What started as a hobby quickly turned into a business when friends started asking to buy them for gifts. Now, I sell them online and at local events, and it’s been such a rewarding experience.
