Look. I don’t mean to brag, but when I was in primary school, I had a subscription to Total Girl magazine *smug face*. I know, I know — pret-ty cool. I used to love doing the quizzes inside. I don’t know why, because it was usually like “what flavour ice-cream are you?” (Vanilla, if you were wondering. Boo.) Point is, ...

Embrace the Struggle (and grow!)
