My mind was fried after a long day of work, and it didn’t seem like I had any creative energy left to build the skeleton of this game. Our group had decided that we wanted the game to be based on the powerful influence of pandemic memes (our first podcast episode). We had also comeContinue reading “Made A Game”
Though it may not make sense initially, trust the process. Note that the recurring theme in this process is time devoted to reflection. In a fast-paced undergraduate environment, we hardly reflect but this class has taught me that it is necessary for growth. With regards to the other steps, the sketch assignments unlocked our creativeContinue reading “Trust the Process”
“Your mission, should you choose to accept it is to re-create the iconic vault scene from the first mission impossible movie,” is what I thought to myself as I embarked on this sketch assignment.

I chose this specificContinue reading “Your Mission, Should You Choose To Accept It”

For this edition of Halloween, it seems like the trick is in the treat. As an individual who aspires to work at the forefront of a preventive healthcare model, I pay close attention to my dietary habits. Sugar is an established risk factor for a variety of conditions such as diabetes and obesity. Yet, onContinue reading “Treat is a Trick”
It has been a while since I’ve done coding and therefore, it has been a while since I have experienced that wonderful sense of excitement and relief when the code finally works. The assignment exposed me to the building blocks of creating a website and the way it all works reminded me of building aContinue reading “LEGOS AND CODE”
I had worked on a podcast with some friends over the summer and therefore, I didn’t think working on this would be too challenging, but I was mistaken. We didn’t even know where to begin which led us to go back and forth, exploring potential topics for at least a couple of hours. We foundContinue reading “Who would’ve thought we’d be unmasking memes?”
This assignment allowed me to evaluate the ideas of others, revise my essay and synthesize an encapsulating argument (this significantly reflects two learning outcomes: critical thinking and reading resulting in writing and writing as a process).
