I'm passionate about my job. One in three profiles on dating apps. Last week, I had a chat with a couple of friends and we talked about the idea of dreams: what they actually mean and how practical it is to chase one.

It Is What It Is
2020 is a historic year; I doubt that you can convince me or any other person living on earth otherwise.

When Victory Just Isn’t Enough
Yesterday, London Pole Varsity 2019 took place. I represented UCL in the Freestyle Category. Along with two other competitors from LSE and KCL respectively, we had zero clue what kind of song we will be performing to. 20 minutes before our turn, we drew lots and took turns to pick a category each from five … Continue reading When Victory Just Isn’t Enough
