The year has almost passed by. As time ticks down, we are left with a moment for reminiscing.

Kingos, how are you getting along these days? Many of you will be lying in sweet repose after enduring a long, exhausting midterm.

The school is finished with renovations, students are coming back to campuses, and staff is getting ready to greet us all. I can alre
When I entered the university, I could not go to school due to the pandemic situation, and I knew nothing about the school. Without any sense of belonging to the school, I started to think I should do some activities related to the school. Looking around for activities that I can enjoy, I found the
