I certainly can’t claim that I’ve perfected the ideal life filled with happiness every minute of every day, but over my short nineteen years of living I have definitely picked up on the little things along the way that make me happier as a person. Here’s my little list of things that you should give...Read More
I had a minor nervous breakdown over the weekend, figuratively speaking of course. I don’t know what an actual nervous breakdown feels like, but I imagine that it’s much worse than what I went through. It began on Friday, a jittery, dark feeling that was with me when I woke up. I’m not too good...Read More
When was the last time you said yes to something when you actually meant no? My guess would be you did it this week, today even, possibly even within the last hour. You see we are so intrinsically hardwired to say yes that it just slips out. Our society tells us that yes is good, that...Read More
Is there an in between? One of my biggest inspirations is a close friend of mine. Not only is she a wonderful person, she is also an ex Olympian athlete who owns more medals than anyone I know and is about to finish a degree that she studied for while training for the biggest event...Read More

During our first meeting of 2016 I proposed to the team that this would be a year of consolidation. I promised not to come up with too many new ideas and I think I saw a few eyes flicker in disbelief. The Semple team had some great achievements in 2015. One example, our magazine Semple...Read More
I don’t usually make New Year’s resolutions, they’re not my thing. I find the idea of convincing myself I can achieve certain goals just because it’s January a ridiculous notion. Every year people talk of the things they will achieve in the coming year – they make tried lists of worn resolutions. Some vow to...Read More
