News: What messes with your head
Money and meaning
The final week of summer is upon us. Although I’ll be missing the glory of summer days, it’s quite exciting that the university campus will be welcoming eager young minds into its halls again.

There’s also Mad March and then looking forward to cooling nights, indulgent pasta, and winter.

My first piece this year and as much as I told myself I was not going to mention it, well here it is: another lockdown. Okay I’ve said it, I don’t want to dwell on that for now.

I know that this will probably be the toughest year in my candidature, but I am reminding myself that soon, the end will be in sight. In the meantime, I better set myself up with a good self-care routine.

Ouch
Every now and then, things feel really bad. In general it goes something like this. There’s something I’ve put a lot into. A person, an activity, a job, an investment, it could be anything. Whatever it is, I’ve put a lot of time, emotion or energy into it. I have this idea of how things are going to go. Except that’s not how things go at all.
Review: Longshot
Directed by Jonathon Levine and staring Charlize Theron and Seth Rogan, the 2019 romantic-comedy Longshot about a Secretary of State falling in love with a slouchy speechwriter, somewhat disappeared from the cultural radar not long after its release. This is a shame.
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?
How refreshing are waterfalls?
I'm looking for some waterfalls in South ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥, but where can I find them?
