This is not the first time this has happened. I hate this feeling so excruciatingly that not releasing a barrage of expletives onto my screen feels like exceptional self-control. Math AAHL 2024, somewhat same thing. Froze. Linear Algebra, froze. Now today, easiest fucking midterm of my life, chance to get
I tweak in my head too much and it affects how calm I am, how much I can focus, what habits I revert to and the new things I do. I ought to relax. I'm "going hard" on the wrong things. Being tunnel visioned about this
I feel daunted at the thought of living by myself, if I'm being honest. It's not as much a factor of being alone as I think it is of the opportunity cost of living alone. It obviously sucks to not have a living situation of choice
Incredible team; one of the best I've been a part of. Edit: post writing this, maybe this is a bit glazey and not completely true. However, fantastic trip and experience regardless. I'll begin with the short criticism I have: Nick gets upset over seemingly unimportant things
Let me begin my saying that I don't quite like how I write at the moment. I feel the need to take a class on it, read shorter books and generally just improve a lot. Summer is a tense topic. On the one hand, I feel calm when
Right now–ideal summer would be spending six weeks learning French in Paris, one month in San Francisco figuring my shit out & meeting people and then one month in India doing my research. I think this would be quite awesome because I'm genuinely hoping to be able
I love this class in case I haven't already said so. I am learning a lot. -The 'creative process' isn't coming up with genius idea after genius idea; it is being able to generate 100s of ideas. Hopefully, you and your team can determine
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
Written in context of just studying for the past couple days. The amount of focus that having a singular objective brings is honestly kind of awesome. I mean, if I channel this sort of one-dimensionality into other things then I think I'll just be quite at peace. Just
From now, for this semester, I shall only give time to things that serve me. Strength, knowledge, practice of my craft and creating something of my own. Nothing else matters as much. I have slivers of doubt thinking about how I might regret my lack of "campus involvement."
Do I build for India or do I try to build India? Are those questions the same? Are those even the right questions? I want to build a company but I also want to be in politics. I love debating and I want to keep doing it for the rest
I come home excited; looking forward to meet everyone, yet each of the past 3 times I've been greeted with bitter disappointment. These people are the same as they were, except it is worse because our circumstances are not the same and therefore I don't think
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
I recently read some Jewish history, covering the short period from the first Temple Era to the dissemination of Rabbinic Judaism. So far, I have only been inspired. This is a group of people that was discriminated against, forced out of their land and held against their will numerous times
The following does not use much technical terminology. Hopefully, this will change in future writings as I learn more about technology. In India, hawker markets are common and superabundant. I want to call them "informal" and refer to markets with an online presence as formal. So, if you
I am at a very intense moment in life right now. Seemingly at least– social life, purpose, health, academics; I am not dealing with any in a manner that I would like to. On the one hand, I feel grateful for and enjoy the busyness. Having so much to do
