Making the Most of Every Space

Published: Dec. 10, 2020, 1:30 p.m.

Hey there! This week, after my tea talk (yellow fruits & hibiscus tea in a book store mug), and life update (time with my dad, holiday activities & Harvard courses), I talk about “making the most of every space”. I introduce this topic with some personal anecdotes, what it means to me, and the structure for this episode. Then, I dive into why I think it appeals so much to me, including movies, wanting to grasp life and feel cool, and admiring those in my life who do make the most of every space. Next, I think about how I can exercise this through group projects, plans with friends, and mentality shifts. I look to the future with the possible results this can have on my life: being more intense, having greater memories, stronger bonds, more confidence, and gratitude for the small things. I share my favourite podcast, online creator, and tik tok side, and read a review before signing off.
