Does Music for the Brain Result in Productive Study Sessions?
The first time I heard about the Mozart Effect was in my Grade Nine math class when my Frasier-obsessed teacher insisted we listen to Classical FM 96.3 during every homework period to help us concentrate on our equations. Despite being a former violinist and symphony enthusiast, I had never actually heard of this unique study method before. Needless to say, I eventually adopted the habit and it has since made my tedious and stress-inducing studies much more vivid and uplifting.

Why I Love People, but Also My Solitude
Warning: Major game-related spoiler. Despite all the harm we have the potential to cause, humans never cease to fascinate me. Even though I've been around them all my life, how we're capable of creating what are essentially extensions of our ideas and emotions will always remain an enticing mystery to me.

Being Blunt: What Are the Boundaries?
I was inspired to write this post by two people I've known at different times in my life who were often described as being blunt, but otherwise well-meaning friends. The truth is, neither one of these people was actually blunt, but rather just bitter, and as a result ended up being inconsiderately destructive in their wisdom sharing.

Observations in a Coffee Shop
For this observation assignment, I have decided to make my field notes at the tables in front of the Tim Horton’s. I used the method of covert observation to study people in their natural state without intervention. Before I began my observation, I anticipated that the majority of people I would find in this particular area are students like myself, and the reason why I chose the area is because I was interested in how students interact within a socialized environment beyond the classroom.

I Yearn
I don’t know what’s wrong with me, or what sort of chemical reactions are occurring inside of me to unearth such yearnful feelings as I sit in my doctor’s chair. You know, that little rotating circular chair with three legs. I didn’t say anything to my doctor though, as I was scheduled for a physical checkup. I’m pretty sure a physician wouldn’t know what to do about this longing I feel inside.

Formulas and Cowardice
We’ve talked about this matter before, that gap between life and that which maybe could have been a life. Some of our words stuck to us like a wishbone stuck in the throat, and in no way, no matter how hard we try, would we ever be able to cough it out.

Motivational Talk for the Not-So-Motivated
Human hibernation has commenced, that time when we would all much rather snuggle up in our cozy beds and watch our favorite sitcoms after our daily struggles to survive in the big world. The problem with this is that our lives eventually become devoid of exciting and worthwhile activities to keep us feeling accomplished and healthy.
