EMPERIO

 College days are always filled with little adventures, and one such memorable experience was our trip to Conolly’s Plot in Nilambur. The trip was part of our fifth module at MDC, and though it was academic in purpose, it turned out to be far more than just an ordinary study visit. Two of our teachers and eight students, including me, set out together on this short but beautiful journey. The Journey Begins We boarded our college bus up to Pandikkad and from there switched to a private bus that would take us to Nilambur. The ride was a little tiring, and I even felt a bit nauseous along the way. Still, the excitement of visiting the famous teak plantation kept my spirits high. We reached around 11:30 AM. At the entrance, I treated myself to some salted gooseberries – a simple but refreshing snack that instantly lifted my mood. What made the journey even more special was the way our teachers mingled with us. They weren’t just supervisors but felt more like companions, sharing jokes a...

  :- Finding Strength to Reclaim Your Life Addiction can happen to anyone. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you live, or what you do — addiction can slowly take hold of your life before you even realize it. Whether it’s drugs, alcohol, smoking, social media, or even overeating, addiction can make you feel trapped and powerless. But here’s the truth: you are not your addiction. You are a human being capable of change, growth, and healing. Overcoming addiction is not easy, but it is absolutely possible with the right mindset, support, and determination. ---  Understanding Addiction Addiction is more than just a bad habit — it’s a physical and psychological dependence on a substance or behavior that gives temporary relief or pleasure. Over time, the brain becomes used to that feeling, demanding more and more of it. People often turn to addictive behaviors to cope with pain, stress, trauma, or loneliness. But the relief doesn’t last — it only deepens the cycle of dependency. U...

If there’s one city that can steal your heart at first glance, it’s Paris. Whether you’re walking along the Seine River, sipping coffee at a cute corner café, or watching the Eiffel Tower sparkle at night, Paris feels like something straight out of a movie. For students dreaming of a trip that mixes culture, fun, and adventure — Paris is the perfect destination. • The Magic of the Eiffel Tower Let’s start with the obvious — the Eiffel Tower! No matter how many times you’ve seen it online, nothing compares to seeing it in real life. Visit during the evening when the tower lights up every hour — it’s pure magic. Pro tip: grab a few snacks and sit at the Champ de Mars park nearby to enjoy the view like a local. • Café Hopping and Croissant Life Paris is known for its cafés, and trust me, students will love them. You don’t need fancy restaurants — just grab a croissant, a baguette sandwich, or a cup of hot chocolate, and you’re good to go. Some of the best memories come from simply people-...

  College life is fun, but honestly, it’s not as easy as it looks. Between classes, assignments, health, and finding a little personal time, things can get overwhelming. I go through this every day, and I’m still figuring it out. So instead of giving “perfect” advice, I just want to share my own routine, struggles, and small things that have worked for me. Maybe you’ll connect with it. I set my alarm for 6:30 AM, but let’s be real—I usually don’t get out of bed until 7:00. The first thing I do is grab my phone, and half an hour just vanishes into checking notifications and scrolling. At that moment, it feels relaxing, but later I regret it. My eyes feel heavy, and I feel like I’ve already wasted time before the day even began. I’m trying to reduce this habit, and even small changes—like leaving my phone on the table instead of my bed—make a difference. _“How you start your morning often decides how you live your day.”_ Classes start at 9:00 AM, and by the time I’m done, I feel drai...
