Welcome!

 This is a multimedia project with the purpose of propelling students of all ages forward, towards success, through the concept of "growth through resilience". In essence, this idea promotes the value of hard work and effort in the journey of personal growth and development, regardless of the challenges faced along the way. As a member of Generation Z, I will use my own unique experiences, perspectives, and the skills that I have acquired, as a current college student. I will be discussing topics related to fitness, mindfulness, motivation, productivity, and various aspects of student life. Thank you for joining me on this journey!

How to Stay Productive during Difficult Times

Image
Let's be honest for a minute. It’s not always easy to stay motivated and productive. Especially since most of us are still in quarantine, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Here's the thing though, hard times in life test us. Yet, they’re also the times that make us grow. Throughout history, so many positive inventions, discoveries, businesses, and even lifestyle changes have come as a result of individuals who had to experience hard times. That made me start to think... How can I leverage this time, when productivity is honestly the last thing on our minds, and use it to grow? What if I look at it as a gift, instead of a hindrance?

You have to keep a consistent sleep schedule and get up early. This...

Creating a Successful Morning Routine - a Three Step Approach

The concept of a morning routine is undoubtedly a popular one. If you do a quick search on YouTube, you will find hundreds of videos that either present the “perfect” morning routine, or discuss what successful people do in the morning. However, I want to present a slightly different approach. Yes, having a set list of things that you do in the morning is really helpful. Unfortunately, the issue that many of us run into, is that we’re not all content creators or entrepreneurs who have the flexibility to set aside three hours in the morning. Most of us are students who have a busy schedule. That being said, I want to introduce you to my idea of what a successful morning should really encompass - from a student’s perspective. First off, I don’t think that we should throw the concept of a list of consistent steps entirely out the window. I simply believe that it is absolutely essential that we strive to scale this idea to be tailored precisely to our lifestyle. Any type of routine is ben...

The Best Strength Training Exercises for Students - No Gym Required

Image
You and I both know that, as students, entrepreneurs, and people that just like to challenge ourselves, we don’t have tons of time on our hands to kill at the gym. Now, please don't think I'm throwing shade at the gym. This is coming from someone that goes to the gym regularly, and enjoys it. Here’s the thing though. Because of the recent closures of pretty much all of our gyms, a lot of us had to make a choice. Either we forget the fitness side of our health, or we suck it up and figure out how to hit that workout with what we have at our disposal. What’s great, is that, as the weather warms up, we can start going outside and utilizing nature in our fitness endeavors. Even as gyms start to reopen, sometimes it's simply more convenient to just hit a quick workout at home, or in the dorms. Let’s take a look at some of the best strength training exercises that don’t require a gym or any special equipment.      First off, let’s start with the most basic exercise. ...
