http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p86BPM1GV8M It’s amazing how a short three minute video can alter your way of thinking. I love this video not only for it’s simplicity, but also for the lasting effects it can take upon the viewer, challenging different perspectives. The fact that this is a Carl Sagan clip doesn’t hurt either.
Even though the weather here currently just magically transformed from nice and decently spring-like into atmospheres of temperatures fit for December, this photo has me anticipating everything that (hopefully) shall be experienced soon.
I love baking, and there’s nothing greater than the feeling of perfecting a classic recipe. Okay, so maybe this recipe isn’t exactly perfected, but by experiment, it’s the closest I’ve gotten so far. For this recipe, you’ll need: – 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour – 1 teaspoon baking soda – 1/2 teaspoon…
So the other day my friend and I were working on this project when we decided that it would be fun to try and make our project look old and worn by slightly burning it. Neither of us were brave enough to actually do this on our own, so of course we went ahead and…
Podcasts are my best friend whenever I’m in that dreaded situation where my music options are far from satisfying, and I am in desperate need of something to listen to while multitasking or procrastinating. Plus, podcasts are great for simply learning more about stuff and keeping interested during times of absolute boredom. I listen…
Awwwww…. *I promised myself I wouldn’t give into the world of tumblr, but this GIF is just too cute to ignore.
At first glance, I thought this was some sort of exceptional painting that took goodness knows how long to perfect. I was surprised to find that this is actually a real life photo of a Hawaiian volcano spewing lava into the sea, taken under extremely risky conditions. Obviously lava burns (excuse the pun), and…
We are exposed to so much advertising everyday. Our society is continuously being consumed in a vast environment of the constant pursue to spend. Everywhere we go, we see ads for the latest phone, the latest shoe, the latest food. As a society, the push for us to spend our money on things we don’t…
We’ve all been there- that moment before a test when we claw our heads and desperately search our minds for any trace of the knowledge we so efficiently crammed in the night before. Of course, at the same time we also wonder why, oh why, did our brains have to betray us at the moment…
To be honest, I have no idea why this video is so addicting. This is simply one of those videos that you can’t help but watch over…and over….and over. Major genius points to the guy in this video. This is just too awesome.
So for me, exams have just finished and I recently got my results back. To say the least, I was utterly disappointed/shocked/angry/saddened/in despair over one mark in particular. And when I say I did poorly, I really mean I did poorly- my final mark brought my average down ten (plus) percent. Yup, ten (plus) percent.…
So for a lot of us it’s exam break, which of course is just a time when we should really just be focusing on our studies (but in reality the only skills I’m improving on are my procrastination skills). Anyway, here’s a list of my favourite websites to spend time on while taking study breaks,…
The other day I found some spare peppermint candy canes still lying around from Christmas so I decided to make some peppermint hot chocolate. So if you’re a fan of peppermint and chocolate, this recipe is for you. Personally, I think peppermint and chocolate were just meant to be together- they compliment each other so…
Well, another year has gone by faster than we want to believe. It is hard to comprehend the significance of each passing day on its own, but string the hours together in groups of 365 (or 366) and the reality of the speed at which our lives advance dawns sadly upon us. Anyways, philosophical rambling…
