I listened to Tom Nides recently. Very humorous guy. I don't think it's common to get really smart intense students to lighten up so easily, especially being in his shoes. I wonder to what extent his personality has helped him achieve what he has. However, I
Past couple days I just haven't been feeling like studying to be honest. I haven't been able to go through notes and feel the joy of knowledge absorbing into my brain the way I previously did. There are also tons of other things on my mind,
I feel spent asf. Body is still sore from the last 2 workouts. Dandruff is still a massive fucking problem. I'm behind in both important classes and got an unbelievably horrible grade for one of them (haven't yet received the other). Haven't started building
Holy shit I love this class. The last two sessions have been incredibly captivating. I can say that I've learnt a lot. I mean, despite being on basically no sleep I got through the class enjoyably. Makes me wonder to what extent our body's reactions are

Madhav is a Yale and LEO alumnus whose company produces glasses that produce live subtitles for users. He's been working on this idea for the better part of this past decade (much before he came to Yale) and received significant recognition and funding along the way. He took
Today I met with Rushil, one of my seniors, who is in India working on his company. I learnt about his journey over the past two years through college and entrepreneurship. He said he basically didn't really care that much about his grades and a lot more about
Key question: to what extent should my classes be classes I struggle and learn in. At the moment, I don't have clarity on my path after college and I don't think classes are going to bring me that. I like some stuff and want to learn
I am worried that I'll forget most of the things I'm realising and learning during my time in the USA. To address this anxiety, I hope to use this set of webpages to record my thoughts about even personal things from this point on, and not
