I can fondly remember the triumphs of my freshmen year of high school. That ego boost from getting a club leader position, winning Model UN accolades, and joining the gym. Ah, such times! I used to sacrifice so much of my sleep just so I could feel like I was slightly better than everyone else. Unlike everyone else trying to cram for their college applications, these things gave me…

Apologies for being so inactive on my blog (that is if you were following my updates from May-August). I could not type anything that could make sense so I took time off from doing reviews, write-ups, and pretty much anything.

Spoiler Alert: Might spoil your experience with the game. Game Rating: 4.5/5 The Legend Of Zelda: Breathe Of The Wild remains a major benchmark for Nintendo. It has attracted a mixed audience of age and is enjoyed by both. Considering how long-running franchises, unfortunately, end up making quantity over quality (and generate a lot of revenue through merchandising), Zelda fans have always enjoyed a quality experience and the franchise…

Book Rating: 3/5 Before I jump into describing yet another spectacle by Haruki Murakami, I have to confess my irregularity when it comes to sleeping. I tend to sleep at odd hours in the day and wake up at midnight. While it has not been going on for a long time, it has affected my school work. I tend to miss out on classes these days but otherwise, my…
