Cherishing Glory

Sometimes, we forget how far we've come when we've been so stuck up on our current hurdles. I'm currently on a mission to get employed and went through some of my past work, and boy, did I create some amazing pieces. Cherish your glory days, but never dwell.

Clean Slate

When a new season or challenge arises, always start off with a clean slate mentality. Appreciate your past wins, but always set your mind to building the new foundation you need for the unchartered territory ahead.

De-loading

I was a maniac back then, taking five courses while working two part-time jobs and running this podcast. It showed me how capable I was, but more importantly, my limits.

The Block

It truly is a taxing task to ideate, script, produce, edit, and publish content with your purpose or vision as the intention of each piece. But that's where intentionality can become the anchor to get you to stick through it anyway.

Career Prospects

I am finally clear to apply for jobs now. I recently stumbled across a few job openings in communications and got a little sauce for those who may be interested in this field based on my past experience.

Self-Systemizing

School teaches you to discipline yourself by providing you with a system for completing tasks and exams. Post-grad is teaching me to create that system for myself to stay disciplined outside the academic context, and this is where you lay the foundation.

Adapting to Novelty

It's been pretty rough the past few days, but I know these times are often the most necessary to prepare you for what is to come. It's hard to be unproductively productive, but I guess we all need a break at some point, right?

Job x Identity

Nothing against the people I've met and known, but I realize whenever you introduce yourself, the norm is always a) Name and b) What do you do? What if we introduced ourselves in another way?

Get Outside

I've admittedly been a hermit for the past 5 days until I decided to go out a full day on Sunday and boy, it was much needed. It's crazy how changing the whole scenery creates a new angle on how you perceive ideas.

I sat on New Year's Day and wrote these 3 words for 2024: Just Show Up. There will be lows, hardships, heartbreak, or all of the above at once, but if you just keep at it, and keep showing up despite the circumstances, you start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel you might be in.

Grad Jitters

I've waited five long years for this moment, but now that it is, it's a weird feeling from having a semester to look forward to every quarter to none at all anymore.

Maintaining momentum

College taught structure and workflow, so I'd be a fool if I didn't carry this on to my next chapter.

Balance defined

A subjective term. That's what it is. What it means to person A may be disagreed by person B.

It's Official

Your boy's officially done with college (woohoo!)

Remember this

There's one thing that my teachers and instructors tell me from time to time, as I'm sure most of you have, that I now truly understand what they were saying.

De-exaggerating

The Life update

Chapter closure

As my academic campaign comes to an end, it's bittersweet after reflecting on how far you've come, and I can safely say I have no regrets taking my business degree.

The Climb 2

To every mountain peak and its glorious beauty, there lies the climb it took to get there. And this is where it will mold you.

Cherish it

You will never truly realize the value of something until it is lost, and I know I've said this before but I'll say it again: Cherish these moments.

Get it overwith

The magic you're looking for is in the work you're avoiding (cr: Modern Wisdom). I'll leave it there.

Going hybrid

A few episodes back, I decided to try out this hybrid athlete thing - lift heavy while being able to run like a gazelle. It was hard, but damn was it worth it.

Exploration

Being an avid runner now opens the option to explore the city I reside in, some routes are beautiful, some are fun, while others are not. But you wouldn't have known that if you didn't wander aimfully.
