Deck the Halls with Joy, Not Bills
The holiday season is upon us, and whether you hang red ornaments on trees and bake ginger spiced cookies, tell stories of the maccabees and feast on latkes, discuss the seven principles of kwanzaa over dinner and create mkeka mats or simply enjoy a few days off from school or work, I believe few manage…
Vinterbalen 2024; “Go crazy”
“Just enjoy the night together. Not to get sentimental, but it’s going to be over soon. Your time in Lund or your university time, which becomes specifically evident to me, as this is my grand finale as a project leader and my committee’s as well. So just be in the moment, enjoy, sing.”

My Procrastination Project
The exam is closing in, statistics, accounting, macro, micro whatever, but the book is just so boring, yet you know there are no excuses. Your apartment is cleaner than ever, meals have been prepped, and maybe you’ve even cleaned your windows. There is nothing else to do. You’re at the point of no return. But…
The Irony of the Pink Tax
It is really funny. An arbitrary woman heads out the door for the day, sambas tied on her feet, matcha latte in hand, a podcast running in her headphones. She is having a good day, feeling like she’s owning it – little does she know that a familiar mise en scène of companies and institutions,…
A Guide to Finding a New Hobby
I have recently found myself with more downtime on my hands and little to do with it. Therefore, I’ve found myself spending more time on my phone, thinking about how I should put it away and do something productive. But every time I put my phone down, I’ve found that I don’t really have anything…
