Summer and the pack of memories

-

 

For me, summer is more than a season...it is a feeling. Just the thought of summer invites a bunch of memories that involve endless hours of playing with friends, forgetting to come back home as most of the time is spent outside, eating seasonal fruits like mangoes and berries, and not worrying about homework. Summer is a feeling where all the worries melt. Many of us might associate summer with ice-cream trucks, fruit picking, hiking, road trips, and beach days. Through these associations, we realize that summer gives us so many opportunities to explore, enjoy and just let go. After the dark months of winter, summer gives us new vigor and inspiration to get out of our comfort zones. The nurturing sunlight allows us to soak in the energy which we hope to sustain us through winter. Most importantly, it inspires us to be a child again where fears and anxiety just vanish in the sunlight. To me, the sunlight is something that absorbs the negative self-talk and replaces it with hope-a hope to try something new. 

Summer is a season to execute the plans we made in the winter. Maybe it is a DIY gardening project, learning how to drive, or going on a challenging hike. Whatever your dreams are, this is the season to make it happen or at least try to make it happen. Carpe Diem! Let the nurturing sunlight bring you closer to your dreams. But do not forget to be a child again and engage in a favorite childhood activity. Or better visit someone from your childhood whom you haven’t seen in a while. 

Through this blog, I hope I have invited a child in you to enjoy this season of fun and excitement.

What I learned in my first in-person college semester

-
         Although I am not a freshman in college, who has just experienced her first semester, instead I am a sophomore who has experienced her first in-person college classes this term. Due to the ongoing pandemic, I was unable to experience the typical freshman year in university packed with the excitement of finally being an adult and getting to experience university. Instead, my freshman year was basically a bunch of zoom classes. The class of 2020 that graduated high school can relate to what I am referring to. But finally, my university decided to conduct in-person classes in my sophomore year. So technically this was my freshman year term 1. What a term it was! There were some unusualities like wearing masks to classes and residence halls, maintaining social distance, and constantly sanitizing your hands till they get super dry. But it did not mean that I had less fun. In this blog, I am going to share my experience of my first in-person university life and how it changed my per

We as human beings are extremely proud of the technological achievements that we have accomplished over the past years. However, with all these medical achievements there are some things that we cannot avoid. Cancer is one of the things that exist as a hurdle in human progress. Nonetheless, we human beings will never cease to progress and hence have novel ideas to cure cancer. Read along to understand how researchers have researched techniques to cure Breast Cancer, a reason that is known to cause deaths in women.              In breast cancer, the breast cells grow uncontrollably and can cause swelling in the breast areas(1). This growth can be detected in various parts of the breast including the lobules, ducts, and connective tissue. The lobules are responsible to produce milk, the ducts carry this milk to nipples and the connective tissue is a structure that supports the breasts. Most cancers have their source in the ducts or the lobules. If the cancer cells spread to other

The art of living well: Morning segment

-
  I have observed that the first thing that college students do is go on their phones. From personal experience, I go on my phone first thing in the morning. I check the time and calendar to see if there is anything important coming up in the day. Others may check their phone to talk with their friends and family when away from their homes or simply check social media. Many popular morning routine preachers, tell us to refrain from checking social media because it doesn’t give your brain to form thoughts itself. Instead, social media dictates what you should think first thing in the morning. Is it true? Yes, to some extent. But what if you woke up in a bad mood and seeing a good morning message on social media inspired you to be happy? And what if you woke up in a good mood but saw someone’s vacation pictures on social media? That quickly puts you in a “self-pitying zone” because you believe here you are trying to work hard and this person is vacationing. Seem unfair, right? So are the
