What Is Shadow Journaling? Plus 10 Journaling Prompts
Therapy is expensive. Sometimes, we are too busy to go therapy. Sometimes, we do not have the means to get therapy. Therapy is not the sole way for one to heal themselves. A powerful exercise known as Shadow Journaling, if done right, can make an immense impact on our mental health. I know it sounds cliché. Too good to be true.

How I Got An A+ In One Of My Toughest Classes
College is not a walk in the park for most, and on numerous occasions we encounter courses that take all of our sweat and tears. These courses can be core classes, major classes, or even electives. Being a Neuroscience major in college, I had to pick a Neuroscience related elective last semester. Out of the list of arduous interconnected electives, Molecular Cell Biology seemed the most relevant and useful. In my university, Molecular Cell Biology is deemed as gateway class for science majors. If I were a Biology major I would have to make a B or better to even stay in the Biology major. Fortunately, I am a Neuroscience major. Imagine having the continuation of your degree hinge on a grade in a certain class. Regardless due to my schedule situation last semester, I was relegated to the sole option of a Molecular Cell Biology Hybrid course. This means that it was online, with the class meeting once a week on campus. I have always preferred self teaching over listening professors drone on in lectures, so I was ready to give it a go.

The Death of Instagram & How to Maintain an Online Business without it
In the past few years, many have noticed the significant decline in Instagram. The once popular social media juggernaut lost public favorability after several updates. Though the platform has many new features now, it is more disconnected than it ever was before. The social media app boasts new features such as stories, highlights, reels, and IG TV videos, on top of the regular posting features. However, the changes to the algorithm has caused many users to leave the app. Many users report that their posts do not show up in the majority of their followers’ feeds, leading to low engagement, despite having many followers. There is an over emphasis on video posts called reels, which were added to the app in an effort to compete with TikTok. However, reels have dulled the originality of the app and TikTok is still far popular in the short form video category. The tanking engagement, lack of discoverability, and the heavy push on promoted ads and posts, have turned several hardworking content creators off from Instagram.
