Decisions, Decisions and Many Laughs Later

A-level Dooms Day

So those of the age of 16-19 years old, all received their A-level results this week. Man, time flies! I remember the day I got my A-Level results so vividly. Excuse the cheese, but I remember it like it was yesterday! How I'm now a graduate going on postgraduate, just like that, I will never know. Time always feels so slow in the present but so fast in the past. Time works in mysterious ways.

Yes, I was the crier. I cried upon reading my A-level results. It was a make or break moment. Would I get into my first choice university or not? To be or not to be was most definitely the question no doubt. And to be 'twas!

But as the tweets became flooding onto my timeline, it was hard to ignore and as respected news articles were being circulated, it was clear - Robin Williams, Rest In Peace.

As a 90s kid, Robin Williams was literally my childhood. From Hook, to Aladdin, to Toys, to Mrs. Doubtfire, to Jumanji, to Flubber, to Patch Adams, to Night at the Museum - great talent.

Williams' publicist had announced that Williams was "battling severe depression". And his death has shown us the harsh reality of what depression can do to even someone of Williams' nature. It's a serious condition that sometimes can be shrugged off but just being sad is a major understatement. It goes way deeper than that, and the more we speak about it, the more
