Pretend this is the last day. The last day of what, you ask? Certainly nothing out of the ordinary seems to be going on. Life has been the same, and will be the same, for quite...

This may be one of the last posts that I type out on this keyboard. It’s currently suffering from some mechanical defects: a few of the keys don’t respond immediately...

Taking a break from all the nihilism and “nothing matters” posts to write about productivity as usual. It’s been hard to get things done because I have enrolled...

I don’t really want to write this. What I want is to be productive, which is why I’m using this little bit of time to create content so I can consider this day not entirely...

It's almost six in the morning and I have an Economics final at noon. I have an A- in the class pre-final, and the final is actually now optional and I will retain my ...

About a year ago I had to use the 3D modelling software Blender to make some graphics and renders for a mechanical keyboard keycap set I was designing with my friend...

I had an interview yesterday, probably the last one I’ll have for a while. It didn’t go terribly but it also wasn’t exactly stellar, so I’m left with this ambiguous sense...

This whole quarantine thing has made my sleep schedule completely irregular, so I’m writing this at 5:35 AM in what feels like a regular midday afternoon, as I woke up at...

Time is a rather interesting currency. It spends itself regardless of our choices and continually empties and replenishes itself in a manner undetectable by any means...

It’s been a very hectic couple of weeks. A lot of midterms and assignments means I don’t have time to focus on what I want to do, so I’m once again forced to put those...

This is probably the most blog-post like post I’ve written in a long while. I’m just going to ramble about how things have been and hopefully bring up some observations...

It’s not too often anymore that I’m still up this late. Of course, going to bed in the early AMs has been the standard for me for many years, but I’m usually asleep by 3...

I am not particularly bothered by unfinished projects, especially ones with no real deadline. As far as I’m concerned, they contain a substantial amount of progress and very...

Today I am comfortable. I attended classes, browsed some videos in the 1-2 hours between each one, and am about to head home, after which I will probably cook dinner and...

Today I made a January 7th resolution to go bouldering at the gym two times a week once I get back to school. What’s a January 7th resolution, you ask? Well, it’s like a New Year’s...

Once again I am writing one of these to prolong the time before I have to actually work, because today is a free day and the prospect of 10+ hours that can be used for productivity is...

Sometimes when I’m lying awake at night, I wonder what life will be like in a year. In 5 years. In 10, and so on. A year is easy to visualize. I’m still in school. I’ll probably still be doing...

I’ve been told that I’m pretty good at taking the initiative. While I will accept the compliment and awkwardly respond to it in thanks (like any other), this is the one which I...

I love to romanticize the “clean slate/new beginnings” theme because it allows me to pretend that not all is lost. No matter how many mistakes I make, I can always have a new...

I guess we’re just going to write in here until we can get our flagship site running and up in the air. To make that happen, I’m currently learning HTML and CSS in my free time. Hopefully...

Some backstory: Between the years 2016 and 2018 I developed a very intense yet not very productive case of workaholism that stemmed from the idea that time and effort would...

This is a devotional type thing that I wrote a while back when I was struggling with identity and doubt. More of this kind of stuff can be found under Prose and Poetry in Works.

Too many times I've gone and set out to do something, just to give up on it because "it wouldn't be worth my time". And by that, I mean that it would take a long time to do and...

One of my favorite go-to quotes for inspiration is the following: "If I quit now, I will soon be back to where I started. And when I started I was desperately wishing to be where I am now."

I really suck at failing. Ok, not the actual failing, but I just suck with failure. I don't take it very well, and I go to great lengths just to avoid the prospect of failure. Basically...

Working is so hard. I legitimately mean it. I'm sitting again in a coffee shop with my laptop, hoping that I'll get something done. But I'm not. For the past ten minutes, I've just been sitting...

I am sitting in a cafe with 10% on my MacBook and no charger, so I might as well write another post while I'm at it. More likely is the prospect of me running out of battery in the middle of...

I had this idea for a school club or organization a while back. It was called the "Do-Nothing Club" and would pretty much consist of exactly what it sounds like: people just doing nothing. During...

Well, disregard most of everything I said in the last post. Orientation was a real clownfest, with it being mostly composed of boring lectures, white kids, international kids, and a poor...

So I got into the honors program anyways. Felt really relieved at first then also really dumb because I'd spent the last 4 days just wallowing in depression, only to find out that it didn't...

I guess all of these are part ones, because I always feel like I'll have more to say later. I'm also just not going to use the "weirdo deep rants" tag for now because these are all pretty much...

I just learned that I forgot to accept an invitation to my university honors program. The deadline was last week. They still haven’t responded to my email yet. We’ll see. Admittedly...

I'm now going into week 2 of 2 as a New York City tourist. Being a tourist is pretty lame for multiple reasons, but that's a topic for another time. I've been maintaining a terrible sleep...

The status quo is a phrase meaning "the existing state of affairs", but I like to use it a lot just to refer to "the current situation". The status quo defines what I do every day. In essence...

Life is like riding a bicycle. Except that there is no bike, and in its place is an endless torrent of inescapable misery. You suck. I created a document called "Work" about four months...

I am not an insomniac. However, it does take a very long time for me to fall asleep in bed. Like usually an hour or two. Lying awake at night is a good time to contemplate your entire life...
