Deep Vibes

By Anonymous

You've had those moments when you ask yourself, where did I come from? Why am I here? What is my purpose in life? You've been searching for answers for these questions deep into your consciousness, and you become lost in thought.  Your thoughts become undirected as you try looking for the meaning in life, searching deep into the crevices of your soul. When we are deep in thought, we become tangled with different ideas, which makes us motivated to search even further.

Aaron Kelly said, "One thing I've wondered about life is what if God only allowed us to suffer for our whole lives and only gave us His Son as a sacrifice and nothing else? What if He never gave us encouragement or guidance during our life except for in the knowledge that Christ saved us, and we have a home with Him? Even if the rest of our lives were bitter suffering, would the fact that God saved us still make Him infinitely loving and gracious? Could we rest in that if we had nothing else to rest on, not even scientific evidence of His existence?"

"A common theme for me would revolve around the mysteries of nature, such as ‘are those sparkles in the sky actually stars, or are they galaxies?’ Or, ‘why are cookies baked, and bacon cooked?’ And finally, ‘if tomato is a fruit, then is ketchup a jam?’ Many things motivate me to ponder these thoughts, but they mostly stem from my innate curiosity of all things deep," said Kai Fraser (12).

For seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, and years, you think; but that one question or idea haunts you continuously.  In the ocean of thoughts, you may look at the shallow side and not dive into the deep. But what is holding you back?

DINGBAT DALAT STUDENT SPENDS PRECIOUS TIME CONJURING UP SELF-REFERENTIAL SENIOR SCRIBBLE RATHER THAN GATHERING LEGITIMATE WORK

By Anonymous
Yusoof Monawvil PENANG, MA - As the deadline drew near and the stars aligned in the night sky above the majestic waters of the Strait of Malacca, one particular Dalat student—Yusoof Monawvil (12), despite a plethora of school events to select and report on—opted instead to spend a remarkably well-wasted 24 minutes staring at a blank Google Docs page, fruitlessly drawing up and shooting down brainstormed ideas.  In a moment of sheer and undeniable epiphany, Monawvil deemed it only fitting to self-referentially satirize his own ingrained incompetence and dingbattery. Commenting on the flash of insight, Monawvil quoted himself, saying: “It all just kinda made sense. I went on DISCourse to look at the little rubric thing Ms. Grad and Mr. Hieber posted, and I checked if I was following all of the guidelines... And I technically am/was; [N]ot like there’s any specific direktive [sic] prohibiting self-quoting.”  In a turn of events, Monawvil did come to find his self-quoting en...

"Spikeball, Swimming, and Sickness: The Remnants of Senior Sneak" by Ee Rynn Ong

By
“Guys, I think we’re here,” said Jonathan Ooi (12) as he peeked out of the lorry to catch the first glimpse of our Senior Sneak location. This year’s Senior Sneak was held in Nomad Adventure, Gopeng, and the organizers planned many activities for the Class of 2026, ranging from traditional games like congkak and batu seremban to adrenaline-pumping ropes courses and whitewater rafting. These scheduled activities proved to be some of the best highlights of the trip, but top of that, the seniors were also given some daily free time to chat, explore, and relax. Josh Stevens (12) had come prepared for this with two spikeball nets, which immediately attracted attention from people eager to spend time in the outdoor sun. The next five days saw spikeball veterans and newcomers alike, spending their precious one and a half hours daily around the unassuming circular net, smashing the yellow ball in hopes of a victory.  Caleb Evans (12) was one of the newbies to spikeball, learning how the g...

“I Miss Her” by Nikhil Pillay

By
While most people had a fun week for mid-semester break, whether it was spent with family, or with friends on impact trips, no one had a more emotionally confusing week than Judson Kenneth Robert Nosker (12).  In the light of recent events, Judson, despite all odds, had gotten in a relationship with one of his classmates, and as the break started, he had started to spend a lot of time with her. While with her, he started to experience a new level of joy and completeness that he had never felt before. In the words of Judson Nosker, “The first half of the break was good, but the rest of it was horrible.”  The reason for such a quote and the roller coaster of emotion was because half way through the break, disaster had struck. Judson’s girlfriend had gone on a trip with her family to Thailand, leaving Judson all alone. For the rest of the week, Judson was in a state of longing for her presence.  His friends have reported numerous occasions when Judson would be sitting with t...
