Boo! Don’t let yourself be caught off guard from the spookiest month of the year. Flip through the pages of this month’s magazine and see what’s in store for you!

As you stroll through the city, have you noticed all the seasonal pumpkin spice drinks on menu and bewitchingly creepy decorations around?

In this special Spooky Edition of In The Know, we’re thrilled to call on a very special guest writer, James, who will help you break through the walls of procrastination and get your study routine back on track. With exams looming and deadlines approaching, his insights will keep you focused and motivated during the upcoming exam season.

To match the mood of October, we’ve also curated a list of gripping books that are sure to keep you awake with their suspenseful plots. Whether you’re into thrillers or horror, these selections will have you turning pages late into the night! If you really want to crank up the scary, then try turning off the lights and read by the dancing flicker of a candle instead. The shadows that’ll be cast upon the walls will no doubt be great company as you delve into a gripping novel.

With the recent launch of the Buddy Program for the last few intakes of students, we have collated a collection of paragraphs that mentors have taken during their fun outings. If you’re interested in the Buddy Program or other leadership opportunities, you can read more about it here.

October is also Mental Health Month, a vital time for all of us to zone in on our wellbeing. Don’t miss the insightful section by our Health and Wellness Editor, Soutara, where she tackles the stigma surrounding mental health. She’ll share valuable tips on how we can foster open and comfortable conversations, helping to break down the barriers that often hold us back.

Have an eerily enjoyable literary escapade – read it here!
