Special thanks to Massey Hosseini for the photo. Check out his rockin’ Instagram! Christmas and New Years are just around the corner, which means that traveling is high in demand! I may not have much experience traveling but last summer my best friend and I were planning for a trip to Europe, and since we were students that were unable to financially support an expensive trip like this one, we planned to make it as cheap as possible. We both gained a lot of experience and knowledge just by researching and planning this trip even though it never happened. Here are my tips to make your travel cheaper: TIMING & FLEXIBILITY For timing, if you’re planning a trip ahead of time, pick flight dates where either everyone is in school or working. Cheap fall dates: Sept-Oct Cheap winter dates: Doesn’t really exist (Dammit, but there’s still hope don’t worry!) Spring dates: Feb-Apr Summer dates: End of September Anytime it’s “work/school season”, flights are cheap You have to be flexible in order to find cheap flights so be ready to get notifications of cheap flights and to leave the next day with your bags. Yes, this is rather inconvenient but imagine the amount of… View Post

I thought I’d spare you the torture of reading long paragraphs after another with a simple and concise post instead. To those of you who have been wondering why I haven’t been blogging frequently is because I wanted to take some time off to clarify my mind. For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been questioning if I’m someone who is capable of  giving advice to people who need it because if I don’t take my own advice, then I lack credibility and that’s the last thing I want. But I think during these couple of weeks, I realized something and that is this. I don’t necessarily think that credibility comes from just sticking with your own values and advice. Instead, I believe that it comes from your honesty and I want to be completely open and truthful with everyone through my blogs. I use this as a way of expressing myself in the best way that I can, and it serves as my outlet. There may be some people who don’t care about what I have to say and might even ridicule my values and thoughts, but the whole point of doing this was to set myself up for vulnerability and… View Post

Welcome to my “Lazy Guide To Weight Loss”! I myself am a very lazy person and have struggled to commit to a weight loss plan since it required more effort than I was willing to give. I figured out a way on how to lose weight without trying so hard so this is specifically geared towards my lazy folks out there. Let’s start off with the most important step. Water. Water is going to be your best friend through this lazy journey of yours. It’s important for your body to consume more than two liters of water each day, but if you’re willing to lose weight, you’re going to have to take in more than just two liters. Go above and beyond and try drinking water throughout the whole day whenever you get the chance. This will lead to annoying bathroom breaks, but continuously drinking water throughout your day will boost your metabolism and will serve as a cleanse for your body and skin. Drinking water also prevents your body from retaining water which will help you lose a couple of pounds from the water weight! Now if you’re someone who despises the boring taste of water, try adding some… View Post
