Here’s my list of “Realistic” goals for this year (as well as the far future)
These are the things I’m most excited about doing in the near and far future! From getting fit to spending less time on my phone, traveling, and more! Think of this as an unfortunately "realistic" bucket list, since we can't really go anywhere at the moment. I hope this inspires you to write your own, and keep these goals in the back of your mind as you live your life!

Online comfort food
Now that we’ve lived in a global pandemic for over a year, it’s safe to say the well of content available online is starting to dry up, and with much of the world still in lockdown, we can’t ignore the fact that our relationship with entertainment has changed.
Should I get an axolotl?
I love axolotls. They have mushy little faces and look like miniature underwater lions. But would they make good pets and company?
Rediscovering tea
I know we all say this every year, but I still can’t believe it’ll be 2021 soon. Although most of us are very much over 2020 and would like to say farewell to it, I’m still astonished to find that the end of the year is not far away now.
Eating out too much
It is the hectic last-minute assignments and exam season. All the commitments and work seem to affect my diet and my cooking routines.
Breaking the loneliness spiral
Lately, I've been thinking a lot about loneliness. I've also been thinking about its antidote: vulnerability.
What brings me joy?
This week (10-17 October) is Mental Health Awareness Week at Adelaide Uni, and I've been thinking about joy.
What music does to our brain
Music can have a powerful impact on us. It can affect our brain and soul in ways we sometimes can’t explain. Some of us might find ourselves tearing up to a particular song that might remind us of something or someone or bring a smile to our face with the particular feeling that summer brings, a night out, or recollections of that amazing concert. Music brings back memories. But it can also have significant cognitive effects on us.
I had a test for Coronavirus
I had a slight pain in my throat on Wednesday and I was in bed like a couch-potato by Friday. It was time to get a Covid test.
Of health week and the journey back to true strength
Spring is here, and so is Health Week! I have been talking about getting back into shape for months and now I have run out of excuses. Lots of my friends have also started their fitness challenges and I’m finding a whole heap of interesting things. There are the eight-week fitness gym challenges which would be great. A couple of years back I would get up at 4 in the morning to meditate, scribe, and be mindful of all the things I am grateful for. After that it would be an hour’s workout in the nearby gym, before getting ready to head to work in the city. I don’t think I could commit to going to the gym as regularly as I used to given the demands of studying full-time, working part-time, and caring for my amazing nine-month old offspring.
