The Writer’s Thoughts
His earlobe felt cool as he pressed it against his earcanal and sighed. It was a dreary wintery afternoon in what should have been a pleasant day in the middle of April. Bloody global warming. He wasn't complaining too much though as he sat at his desk, playing with his earlobe once again. The moody…Read more The Writer’s Thoughts
What Is Our Fascination With The Apocalypse?
I have been binge watching a new series that I discovered recently called The 100. It tells the story of a post-nuclear apocalypse and how humankind have survived by living on a huge space station called the Ark but as oxygen begins to run out, they decide to test whether Earth is safe to live…Read more What Is Our Fascination With The Apocalypse?
Please Don’t Be Scared
There aren't many people like me, On the train. In my religious garbs And my Kofi cap. I saw your darting eyes And I tried to appear less frightening, I flattened my backpack I plastered a small smile on my face Even though it was a Monday morning. But as I sat down, Your eyes…Read more Please Don’t Be Scared

Occasionally on the news, we read stories about how in some countries like China where the economy has suddenly boomed, there are areas called ghost towns. These are vast areas where buildings have been planned, built and erected but not a single person lives in them. They are utterly deserted, as if they are contaminated…Read more Ghost Towns
Explaining The Balance
"My blog is called A Worried Student, don't worry it is not as depressing as it sounds." This is how I usually introduce people to my blog. The word 'Worried' does tend to get misinterpreted as it may seem like I am constantly worrying about the pressures of life as a student. However, there are different types…Read more Explaining The Balance

Ants Have Made Me Angry!
I love animals which is why the movie We Bought A Zoo was really awesome for me but what I have grown to dislike and may I also add hate, is the common ant. Wonderful creatures. They possess such remarkable intelligence and you sometimes wonder where could their brains possible be? Humans can learn from…Read more Ants Have Made Me Angry!
Do People Ask For The Time Anymore?
Today as I walked home from college, a surprising phenomenon occurred. A man driving past in his car paused by where I was walking, asked me for the time, said thanks and continued on his way.
