Why do I love PLP (I mean besides the field studies, exhibitions, StarWars, and cheap food)? It’s because it prepares us for the greatest journey we will ever take; life.

This “flattering” image of myself looks strikingly similar to my current exterior. Same clothes, same hair (probably a […]
Energy bills are something no one wants to deal with. Charged your phone? $20 Heated your house? $50. It doesn’t take long for all these costs to stack up, and to leave you wishing energy was free… But wait, it is! All energy on earth (minus nuclear power) comes from the sun, and you don’t […]
