I have been working my professional job from home for the past few months and have a few takeaways that I would like to share...

As we enter the point of the semester where assessments are due, I have found myself experiencing my typical anxiety to obtain the best grades possible.
All things period related

Some people have periods! Yes! Truly! Unfortunately, it is not something people really talk about often.
New food & a new perspective

Trying a steamed Thai pandan-coconut cake opened my mind up to new ways to make delicious desserts.
Glorifying the grind

We're about halfway through the first semester and I've been hearing competitions of who's getting the least amount of sleep start floating around campus.
Calendar blocking
