Disclaimer: I don’t have an iPhone X. Instagram and Snapchat are the obvious apps, but what else do I have on my phone? I don’t know about you, but I’m always interested to see what’s on other peoples’ phones. How they organize apps and which ones they use in general. Consider yourself lucky because I’m…
It’s interesting how people often surprise you with their unexpected preferences, and one example I’ve been reflecting on lately is music. It’s not uncommon to see people walking around wearing earbuds, living in a world of music that the rest of us cannot hear or understand. But I do often wonder what it is people…
I think about life a lot, often having an existential crisis every day. Who are we? What are we even doing here? Do we even have a purpose? The greatest philosophers haven’t thought up an answer to those questions, what makes me fit to answer them? Absolutely nothing! But that’s why it’ll be interesting! Does…
February 5th saw some of the worst drops in the market in history. Was this an isolated incident, or did it point to the start of something worse?
It’s probably a ridiculous time for a post like this, since exams recently concluded, but one of the reasons I’m writing this at all is because I thought of some interesting concepts after writing my English diploma. I hope this can be of some use to the ones writing in the next semester, or even…
If you know me personally, you might already know that I’m into coding. I’m no expert at coding my any means; in fact, it’s been a while since I last coded anything in Python. Over the long weekend, I was inspired to start learning something I’ve set aside for years, and that’s, as you may…

In honour of Valentine’s Day, I will share with you the totally relatable 8 stages of having a crush. No doubt that everyone who has ever lived has had a crush on somebody before. It’s just apart of life. Don’t tell me you don’t catch feelings because we all know it’s a lie. Even though…

More specifically, it can be regarded as a measure of one’s ability to sympathize with others, to care about and see what they’re going through, and to feel strongly enough to try and help. Empathy…
One down, one more to go! At least for this school year. Now I know all of our mentalities going into semester two. “I’m going to do better than last semester!” “I’m going to work harder and get better grades” Quite frankly, what I’ve realized is that each new semester is treated like a whole…
