“I was rejected from Students’ Council, but many of my peers have gotten accepted for Council or other leadership positions. What did I do wrong? I cannot stop thinking about it and comparing myself to others.”
Dispirited Diana
Dear Diana,
It is a truth universally acknowledged that failure is normal, and is part and parcel of life; but it is also painfully true that every time we face rejection, it never fails to hurt. After putting so much hard work into an application you were really passionate about, seeing “Unsuccessful” or getting that rejection email crushes our spirits instantly.

“I sometimes feel isolated because no one shares the same humour as I do. I find it hard to connect, and it becomes awkward when I have to explain a joke because no one got it.”

Dear Uncle Upset, I’m so not locked in. What should I do to motivate myself to get work done this holidays? How do I make sure I utilise it well…
Desperate Dumbo
Dear Desperate Dumbo,
With the holidays finally clearing out our hectic schedules and freeing us from many extracurricular commitments, it is only natural to feel the need to fill up the time with more productive activities.
