  • Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not

  • Hope is not a strategy

  • There are moments when one has to choose between living one's own life fully entirely completely or dragging out some false shallow degrading existence that the world in its hypocrisy demands

There you go, a bunch more as promised! Remember, if you aren’t sure what to make of them get your friends to help. Checking online should be the last thing you do. That way you may have some interesting conversations. As a bonus there is one person that I quoted more than anyone else, can you figure out who it is without the internet?


Alternatively, come see me in the SALC. I’m happy to help you with anything you’re having trouble with from study plans and IELTS practice to just blowing off steam with a friendly chat!

  • Once you realize what a joke everything is, being the Comedian is the only thing that makes sense
