Alternatively, if this is really too difficult to do because of the sheer number of CCAs and the amount of planning we need to do during the holidays, perhaps we could consider asking the EXCO of each CCA for interviews.
Since currently we introduce CCAs from different categories on a week-by-week basis we could compile each week's CCAs into one big video, with timestamps slated for interested prospective Y5s to freely use

    • Discomfort with silence 
      • A common perception is that silence can be stifling and unsettling, especially in a social setting (particularly so when people meet others for the first time and the awkward silence can be deafening and unbearable) 
        • It seems that the ubiquity of smart devices and technology have intensified the above trend 
      • There’s some research conducted with regard to this fear of (and discomfort with) silence — the term “sedatephobia” (translated to “aversion of the silent”) has been coined to illustrate this growing phenomenon 
        • In some severe cases, this intolerance of and discomfort with silence can induce panic attacks 
    • Reasons we might be uncomfortable with silence
      • Human instincts — we crave for connection and social acceptance 
      • Sense of insecurity that might arise as a result of this void (i.e. silence) —> silence can be ominous?
    • Why being comfortable with silence is important and empowering
      • Silence can be beneficial 
        • e.g. (pertaining to the individual) it can increase concentration and heighten self-awareness; it can enrich relationships because silence creates room for thorough thought and vulnerability 
    • Ways to overcome the discomfort (and be comfortable with silence!)  
      • e.g. consciously practising mindfulness, gradually increasing one’s “window of tolerance” (i.e. the period of time you can put up with silence before you start to feel disturbed)

However there are often many considerations that some neglect even as they consider whether pet ownership is for them (eg. Comparability of a high-maintenance pet with their lifestyle, sustained responsibility needed to raise a pet, sociability of pets). Features on pet owners can shed a light on these considerations that potential pet owners ought to look into before making the decision to get a pet.

    interview students and understand why they chose that humanities and whether they have any regrets taking it. it'll be a fun article!

It was made up for inside out) and so we are trying to compensate for that now. Is it too late? A reflective piece.
