To work on yourself is the best thing you can do. Accept that you are not perfect, but you are enough. And then start working on everything that destroys you. Your insecurities, your egos, your dark thoughts. You will see, in the end you're gonna make peace with yourself. And that's the greatest thing in the world.

Whenever you are faced with challenges, remember that we don't grow when things are easy! We grow when we face challenges. Do not let challenges define you, let it refine you!

Just something cute and motivational to end off your Friday well. Don't give up!

Hello everyone, I hope you guys are enjoying and getting more motivated by our posts so far! 

So... interested in finding more about NTU, more about the different types of people you'll meet in university or just simply to find some OOTD spots to take your OOTDs? 

Well then, do go check out this blog here! It's managed by s bunch of UNIque individuals who have put their brains together to bring to you their humble piece of work. They produce articles ranging from the ones that tickle your senses, to the ones that soothes your soul. Do stay tuned for their regular surprises and updates! :)

This post is to you.

The you that's had a rough week. The you that seems to be under constant storm clouds. The you that feels invisible. The you that doesn't know how much longer you can hold on. The you that has lost faith. The you that has always blamed yourself for everything that goes wrong. To you.

You are incredible. You make this world a little bit more wonderful. You have so much potential and so many things left to do. You have time. Better things are coming your way, so please hang in there. You can do it.

Oftentimes we complain about our situation, our family and everything around us that is not working out. However, we need to realize that we have the power to change our situation no matter how we are doing right now. We need to take responsibility and action to create the life we dream of.

Whenever you feel like giving up, tell yourself that as long as you are determined enough, you will achieve your goal! Determination is the key to success, always stay focused on your goal and never give up!

Finals impending and yet you still don't feel like starting your revision? 

Do you often see yourself saying these? 

"I dont understand this."

"How can someone even understand this *inserts vulgarities*"

 "Its taking too much time."

"I should just rest and try again tomorrow"

"Its too hard"

Well,  if that is you. Don't worry, you have to understand that everyone who is studying in the same course or taking the same modules as you are facing the EXACT same problem with you. 

Don't give yourself excuses like "Nah, they are just smarter than me". Always tell yourself this. If they can do it, so can you. They are just equally as human as you. The only difference is that they FACE the problem instead of running away from it. If it does not challenge you, it won't change you. You will not grow and you will forever stay at your comfort zone living in your own world. This is your life. You have to own it and take responsibility. 

And you can start now. Remember, its better to start late than not start at all. 

Hi guys! we noticed that you guys are very busy with your schedule and reading a lengthy post from us is taking too much time from you. 

So what we will be doing is , we will be giving out DAILY MOTIVATION QUOTES to kickstart your day to study hard for finals!! 

We hope that the 1 minute of your time reading our post will be useful to you all!! All the best for finals!

We all come to this world with only an average of about 80 years to live. Given that life is so short, how then can we maximise our stay here and create a meaningful and fulfilling life?

The answer is simple. We need to set goals. While this seems straightforward enough, many people either do not set goals properly or do not have many goals. 

Before setting any goal, the most important goal to set first is actually your life goal or life purpose. If u set other goals before this, some of your smaller goals may actually go against your main life goal. To set your life goal, you have to think about what is the most important thing in your life. While many of you may think that money is the most important thing in life, I can assure you its not. Building good relationships and helping others are examples of things that are more meaningful and enjoyable as compared to wealth. Note that setting your life goal is extremely important as it will affect your entire life. Thus, it is important that you use wisdom to determine what is the most important thing in your life that you want to do or accomplish. 

Once you have set your life purpose, set goals in the reverse order basis from long term followed by short term and make sure all are aligned to your main purpose in life. When you do this, all the actions you take to achieve these goals will be meaningful to you and contribute to your life purpose in some way. By doing things that are aligned with your values and life purpose, you will feel a sense of fulfillment and accomplishment. 

Last but not least, make sure you set goals daily that is again aligned with your life purpose and take action every day. By doing these steps and taking action, you will feel fulfilled and purposeful every single day. 

Thought about joining hall in NTU and wonder what takes place there?

You've come to the right place then, below are a list of activities that hall offers you.

Firstly, each halls of residence has its own form of student council which is called JCRC, short for Junior Common Room Committees. Just like that of a student council in school, they are there to organise activities and look after the welfare of its residents.
