Living with Stress

When I submitted my last assignment and sat my last exam a few weeks ago, I naively assumed that my life would suddenly be free from stress. This is sometimes what we to tell ourselves just to get through: that if we study just a little bit longer, if we write just one more paragraph […]

An Ode to Old Playlists

This week, I have revisited some old playlists taking up space in my Spotify stream. I always keep my playlists, because I know one day I’ll go back and revisit a very specific time in my life. For instance, the playlist I carefully curated for my 18th birthday is an absolute gold mine. I can […]

Don’t Forget to Have a Break

I often don’t get to actually have a break in the holidays. This is because I fill up all my time doing little things that don’t really feel like a break at all. By the time the holidays are over, I still feel just as tired as when they began. I have to deal with […]

The Small Things

Recently, I’ve been making more of an effort to enjoy the small things. Maybe it’s that summer is approaching and the air is warmer, or maybe it’s that I’m feeling nostalgic now that my time at university is almost over. Either way, I’m finding that I’m more purposeful in my actions

The Circle of Compost

Food, water, and air. Three things humans can’t live without (also, mum’s lasagne). However, one third of all food is thrown away (Source). In fact, if food waste were a country, all the emissions from rotting food would place it as the third biggest polluter globally. That’s just food alone, but there’s something you can do. […]
