Why You Should Embrace Minimalism
What is minimalism? Take a look at what you have around you at home. How much of it would you label as “junk” or “useless clutter”? Look at your items and ask yourself “does this have a purpose?” and “does having this make me happy?” More and more people are realizing that they have made a grave mistake: they have spent years overconsuming and now are dealing with the consequences of having too much… well, crap. Minimalism plans to fix that. The idea of minimalism is that you take all of those things in your home that do not bring you happiness and have no purpose and get rid of them. Even better, recycle or donate everything that you can for those that will find happiness or use of them. I hope this post will help you to decide what you can do to be a better minimalist.

How To Avoid Cleaning Your Room
I become one of the most productive people in the world whenever I have to clean my room. There is no end to the tasks I can come up with to avoid cleaning my room and doing my laundry. I’m not a perfect person, I'll admit it. Procrastination is my middle name.

The Magic in the Margins
Sam coughed into the thick smoke, his lungs burning every time he chanced a stifled breath through his old t-shirt. His eyes stung but he opened them as he was leaving the room anyway knowing full well that it wasn’t worth it. All he could see between the noxious clouds engulfing his worldly possessions were the towering flames that he could feel closing in around him. He pressed the shirt to his eyes again and felt his way towards the hallway, knowing that he was going in the right direction but still terrified that he’d never find his way out. Sam’s foot hit something on the floor and he looked down in spite of himself. It was his beloved laptop, shining like gold in the flames. “Everything that I am is in there.” He said and a manic desperation overcame him as he turned away from the exit and towards the inferno.

Apps That Have Helped Me Get My Shiz Together in Quarantine
I started my first semester of my Master's Program online. Juggling zoom, creating a reasonably effective study space, and figuring out the other piling masses of problems that were suffocating me lead me to really re-evaluate how I'm spending my time.

The Avid Lifter's Post-COVID Return to the Iron
PUSH DAY 2 After the first half of week 2, time to wrap back around and hit push day 2. I enjoy this day, as it's less conventional and I give myself a little freedom. In general, I'll start with floor press, but this lift is more effective at higher weights, so I think I'll switch it to incline bench for the week. I may go back and forth, as both help overall push strength significantly. I went up to 155 pounds for 6 reps, but think I could do as much as 175 for 6 reps. Happy where that stands. From there, I went to standing strict press. I'd like to at least lift my bodyweight over my head, but I'm a way off from that at the moment. Next, I worked in some slow dips, making the last 3 or 4 reps on each set torture. Side raises and fly's for accessory, then finished with tri work. Made it extra tough on my arms today, brutal. But if you don't love that, stay out of the gym.

Welcome to my heartbreak
What other words can describe what I feel, what I felt when you told me it was over. My whole world collapsed with your words, your kisses, and your touch. I deeply felt that my world was ending because of you, Maria. I put everything in this; my future, my life, my heart.

Magic Is All Around, For Those Who Believe. Top Story - March 2021.
It was fortunate that I was walking that day with a defeated posture. Had I been looking up instead of down, I probably would have walked past it, dismissing it as so many had me, as it crunched, unnoticed and unappreciated, under the heel of my shoe. There I was, head down, eyes averted in every effort to avoid human contact, lurching through the park on my way home from yet another devastating job interview- and there it was, shining benignly up at me, faded black leather with a ringed binding.

Why You Should Be Listening to this Podcast While You're Focusing to Get the Most out of Your Brain Power
I make quite a few playlists tailored for working and studying. I spend a pretty big portion of my time either studying for my classes, reading for my classes, creating work for my side projects, or otherwise needing a headspace where I can dig into my work, and focus on what matters.
