Accepting Eco Imperfection
When I first decided to change my planet killing ways, I was shocked at how difficult it was. I couldn’t step foot in a supermarket without being overwhelmed by the amount of plastic that surrounded me. I felt so guilty when I didn’t bring my keep cup to the local café, or when I forgot […]
The Mundanity of Travel Plans
I’ve realised something about myself: I love the idea of making travel plans, but the actual planning? Not so much. This dawned on me recently while discussing a potential European summer trip in 2020 with a few friends. We poured over a map and excitedly discussed where might want to go, where we might stay, […]

Throwback to the Stickies app
I recently saw another student in class using a sticky note app on her desktop. I completely forgot about this fantastic piece of technology between first experimenting with it in high school (several years ago) and now. In case you’ve forgotten, the Stickies app looks like you have post-it notes stuck to your computer desktop, […]

Planning Your Day: Beneficial or Boring?
I’ve always been great at planning my day but terrible at sticking to it. Starting the day with the best intentions doesn’t always mean I’ll actually do what I mean to do. In fact, the more I plan, the less likely I am to actually do it. After a bit of pain, I think I’ve […]

A simple guide on where to study
I’ve never been one of those people who can study anywhere. My surroundings are directly related to how much work I do, and factors like sound and light are important. It should be quiet but not too quiet. White noise is good (e.g. a café), but environments with just one singular source of noise (e.g. […]

Getting Ahead of Yourself
So often I feel behind on whatever it is I have to be doing. I feel like I’m constantly playing a game of catch up, and that I have to constantly stress about a series of deadlines that I am not sufficiently prepared for. I’ll be doing whatever it is I’m doing, and then out […]
