Over the weekend, I was organizing, doing an early spring cleaning when I came across this deadweight. This box is filled with my notebooks, exams, and homework from University. Pages and pages of painstakingly detailed engineering workbooks (written mostly in glittery gel pen) served me well on my journey to build a healthy GPA. Now,…
I still have so much to learn about video production, but I hope you all enjoy it 😊. Here are my top tips for reading more books in the coming year.
Traditionally, we view power through a Machiavellian lens. Popular culture and tradition show leaders gain and lose influence through displays of force and hold on to power through brute cruelty. However, Kelter argues that the violent strategies outlined in Machiavelli's famous work The Prince are outdated and incompatible within the social structure of our modern world.Â
In the Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg, we're shown an interesting new perspective on habit creation. Duhigg argues that the power to change your habits and to construct your idea life comes when we understand the hidden mechanisms underlying habitual action. I found this book helpful in understanding the triggers for action and the phycology behind our subliminal choices. I wish this book focused more on the actionable steps for habit change instead of over explaining the same concept through a series of anecdotal case studies.
n this faerie tale retelling of Beauty and the Beast, we follow the journey of a young female protagonist, Feyre, as her simple human life becomes entangled in the lives of the immortal fae of Prythian. It is definitely worth the read. It is a high fantasy novel, but the world-building is not daunting so I encourage you to pick it up even if you are new to fantasy.  I loved the sassy dialogue, deeply empathized with the Feyre's struggle, and had a fantastic time meeting one of my favorite fictional characters.Â

Small businesses have been forced to temporarily or permanently close. And we have put up physical barriers between neighbors to preserve our physical health as the isolation…
Coming To Terms Few of us have coped with this level of uncertainty before. Recent events have brought stress and anxiety, which was further provoked by the media painting the current state as a post-apocalyptic war zone.

Amid anxiety and uncertainty, there exists a myriad of tools we can employ to strengthen our mental resolve and boost wellbeing. Some find solace communing with nature, or cuddled beneath their covers with a good book while others find it more constructive to reach out to their networks for support and distraction. I have tried…
