If you put it on a T-shirt, would people wear it? Seth Godin I want to be remarkable, and I am sure that I will be. My girlfriend always laughs at me when I say this, or when I say “I want to change the world,” but I do, and more importantly, I will. HowContinue reading “Being Remarkable”
“Why do you always sell your bikes” – Buying and Selling in the Digital Age
For those who know me they will know I buy and sell a lot of things, it used to be skateboards, now it is camera’s and bikes. Many people ask me “why do you always sell your bike” and I typically respond with a long winded explanation about how I’m combatting depreciation and getting aContinue reading ““Why do you always sell your bikes” – Buying and Selling in the Digital Age”
“When was the last time you took a risk”
I haven’t taken a proper risk in a long time. The last proper risk I took was going travelling by myself for 3 months back in 2016/17 straight out of high school (and subsequently grew a ‘beard,’ which was probably a bigger risk). I’ve always seen myself as a risk taker, but in the lastContinue reading ““When was the last time you took a risk””
Learning and Asking for Help
At University there are many ways of learning new content, but in this post, I’m going to be talking about learning things in a more self-directed way, more relevant to courses like honours or research-based classes, where things aren’t necessarily explained explicitly. Largely, there are two ways of learning things: you can ask a tutorContinue reading “Learning and Asking for Help”
Disc Brakes as a Commuter Cyclist
Commuting to work via bike is honestly the best thing for multiple reasons, its cheaper, its enjoyable, and it has so many health benefits.

The Grapes of Wrath. A timeless novel of great importance today
The Grapes of Wrath is a modern classic which has never been more important. The man made destruction of the earth which is detailed throughout the book gives clear warning to us in the age of climate change denial. The rape of the earth is but a literary vehicle to convey the true purpose of the book, which is to display the importance of human connection in coping with seemingly insurmountable challenges.
Committing to Passive Income
Just finished watching Ali Abdaal’s video on youtube about his salary as a doctor and youtuber and it has really triggered me off to really start committing some time to developing some sources of passive income. A pact I made to myself years ago as a teenager was that my ‘day job’ was never goingContinue reading “Committing to Passive Income”

Organising your study
It’s currently the night before my pharmacology final exam, I only studied 3 hours today as I felt I had sufficiently studied up until now and felt no need to increase my stress levels by trying to cram in extra information.
