About a year ago I donned the graduation gown and cap, and did what every graduate fears: walking across the stage to graduate without falling over in front of your friends, family and professors.

I never make New Year's Resolutions, can never be bothered. Any changes to lifestyle and well being can be made at any time of the year. Saying that though, I thought I'd share my little pearls of wisdom that I either learnt this year, or used to help me get through trying times this [...]
