Cupid’s Got a Camera Crew: Diving into Dating Reality Shows
Reading Time: 7 minutes

By Aniqa Norhazry (25S03D) and Ariann Khoo (26S06B)

Everyone knows reality romance shows are fake, shallow, and full of fame-hungry contestants. Or at least, that’s what I used to think. Growing up, romance reality TV was the lowest form of television in my household—shameless, trashy and mind-numbing. I genuinely believed Love Island wiped away my brain cells, and while there was some truth in that, I soon discovered otherwise.

By Gladys Koh Wei Le (26A01B), Irene Eva Thomas (26A01B)

So it’s that annoying part of your timetable again, that weird 2-hour break in the middle of the day, and you have nothing to do. I mean you could do that long overdue Vectors 2C assignment, but why not make a trip to Y14 Chill to get a waffle instead?

Raffles Press was given the egg-clusive opportunity to cover this new programme, and dish the inside scoop on this egg-citing new initiative.

The Grass is Always Greener on the Other Side
Reading Time: 4 minutes

By Cayla Goh (25A01B), Meryl Lim (25S05A)

Maybe if I were someone else, I’d be happier. 

Maybe if I had taken another subject combination, I wouldn’t be so miserable. Maybe if I had made more friends, maybe if I had studied harder for Promos, maybe if I had tried out for that leadership position years ago, I would be better off now. 

Maybe, just maybe, I shouldn’t have come to RI at all.
