Take a Break (from Stress)

Teenage me would be so disappointed. I thought I’d have solutions for my stress issues by now. I’ve written about how Uni stress gets to me; normally I just keep on with things. When it gets so bad that I can’t sleep, I start to think that maybe I should get some proper help. However, it […]

Dressing for Your Desired Mood

Sometimes, moods just happen, but sometimes you can influence your moods and sway yourself in the direction that you desire. A way that I often do this is by dressing for the mood that I want. Let me explain.

Review – Star Trek: Discovery (2017- )

Much of the discussion after Star Trek: Discovery began airing late last year was about expectations. The first new Star Trek show since 2005, early previews were met with scepticism because Discovery was changing things from the previous series. If it’s a prequel, why do the Klingons look different? Why are the colours not as […]

Taking Care of Yourself When You’re Really Down

Sometimes, even brushing your teeth can seem like a task that’s completely out of reach. Depression can affect anyone, and people experiencing depression often don’t want to get out of bed. In those moments, the posts that tell you to exercise or see your friends to feel better are not all that helpful. If you’re struggling […]

Strength Exercises To Try if You Don’t Like Strength Exercises

I’m not super into high-intensity exercises, particularly because I’m rather unfit by the time the end of semester rolls around, so I need to start slow and build up my muscles before jumping into burpees and jump lunges. During these times, there are a few strength exercises that I always do to build muscle in […]

Just Adelaide Metro Things

My friend messages me because she’s going to be late to our 9am class. Her bus is late—a real rarity for Adelaide Metro!—and when it finally arrives, she boards and discovers her metroCARD is out of credit. There’s no way to top up your credit when you’re on a bus, and if you don’t have enough loose change […]

Review – Black Panther (2018)

A familiar refrain that I’ve heard in discussing Black Panther is its disconnection from Marvel Studio’s other movies, and you don’t have to have seen any other modern Marvel movie to understand the film, but the main character T’Challa has a robust introduction in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War. Is this lack of Marvel Cinematic connective […]

The Importance of Talking Things Through

I spoke last year about the importance of talking things through during household disputes with your significant other (SO). It got me thinking about communication in general, and how effective talking with friends can be to help improve your mental health. Unloading all of your airs and worries in a discussion with your friends can serve as […]

#DeleteFacebook

It’s been awhile now since the Cambridge Analytica story broke. We’ve also previously talked social media privacy and surveillance on this blog. I’d already made some efforts to control my online presence; I deleted my employment and education history, and I limited who could see my photos. However, there was one glaring hole in my Facebook […]
