Having Friends is Cool
About a year ago I was living in a shared house with many interesting characters. They were all in their thirties to late twenties while I was 19. It was an interesting and fun experience as I made friends with people who had lived longer than me and who had vastly different ideas on their…

The Terrifying Implications of The Stanford Prison Experiment
I’ve been reading a book called ‘The Lucifer Effect’ by Philip Zimbardo. In the book he recalls the famous experiment in which he got 12 prisoners and 12 guards to roleplay a prison system within the basement of the psychology building (the Stanford Prison Experiment). As opposed to The Lord of the Flies scenario popularised…

Why You Should Have Multiple Projects
Hi everyone, hope you all had a good week! I’ve recently made a video game review over on my channel. Initially I had given up on the project. The script length was too long, clunky and unfunny. I was not happy with how it was written and so I went on another project to take…

One Thumb Tack at a Time
2023 was probably one of my slowest yet enjoyable years. I slowly started seeing success in my YouTube channel and made a lot of close friends who I can rely on and enjoy hanging out with. I think however, I made a lot of excuses. I constantly told myself that I was too depressed to…
