If you’re looking for an almost entirely substance-less guilty pleasure of a television experience, which – let’s face it – I often am, look no further than Netflix’s Emily in Paris.
Top five legal dramas
There are a few key ingredients to a good legal drama: witty banter between lawyers, thrilling courtroom scenes, and the dramatic uncovering of evidence that blows the case wide open. With those guide posts in mind, here's a list of the top five best legal dramas.
The best pizza in Adelaide
There's no shortage of good pizza in Adelaide, and I'm fairly confident I’ve gathered a top five capable of pleasing even the most rigid sticklers for quality and tradition.
Ramblings on knowing and doing
This morning, as I was in warrior pose during my morning yoga practice, I couldn’t help but allow my mind to wander. My thoughts were on thinking about the integrity of our world. What does that even mean - the integrity of our world? Does it imply that there is some other purpose than simply existing? What’s the purpose of things? What’s a worthy enough purpose?
Making exercise fun
I haven’t been swimming at a pool for years. Not since my grade 10 swimming carnival, I forgot how great the exercise is.
Music for productive study
There’s always been a great debate on whether music can help you study or be a distraction. A lot of us students listen to music while we study, and most of us can agree that it actually can help us concentrate and not get distracted by other devices or other things, but some music with lyrics can. I’ve discovered that a good way to study with music is by listening to more classical, orchestral music, old jazz, music with little to no singing, or even themed ambiences from YouTube. It might sound silly or unappealing but music that is relaxing or has hardly any lyrics can help set the vibe and get us in a better mood.

Admittedly, we are oceans away from the US and with the pandemic, how does US politics really affect any of us? My study, you could argue, has nothing to do with it but I am a Ph.D. student researching within the realm of social sciences and leadership and inequality, and so at the very least, it is all very interesting. My supervisors have not only been such amazing teachers, but also inspiring sources of support and scholarly insight. Our meetings aren’t restricted to updates on data analysis and thesis progress, but also on how our research is relevant to what is happening in the world, to social justice, as well as scholarly and deliberate reflection.
