TL;DR On Aura Farming by KV A Brief History Lesson with ChatGPT “ For most of human history, people lived as nomadic hunter-gatherers, surviving by foraging wild plants and hunting animals across shifting landscapes. Early humans, such as Homo erectus  and later Homo sapiens , developed tools, mastered fire, and adapted to diverse climates during the Pleistocene. As the last Ice Age ended around 11,700 years ago, rising temperatures and stable climates fostered abundant veget

Welcome to Raffles Hall: A Comprehensive Field Guide , your indispensable manual to understanding the diverse, chaotic, and occasionally unhinged species that inhabit this storied ecosystem. While other halls may boast architectural marvels or rich traditions, we boast something far more precious: an entire biodiversity of residents who thrive under conditions ranging from “freezing upper lounge AC at 3am” to “dining hall queues”. What follows is a scientific catalogue of the

Most of my friends think running is torture with a few extra steps, but is it really? I think running is a wonderful, enjoyable activity and everyone should do it. It is a simple escape from everything—the stress, noise, emotions and endless tasks that I procrastinate on (including this article). But there is really something magical about the rhythm of your steps and the rush of wind brushing past your face—the feeling of being as free as a bird. However, many friends still

Ever wondered what the RH chickens do in a day while we’re off roaming the campus, fighting to stay awake in lessons, and rushing our assignments?  Well, with some stalking and scouting, I present to you a peek into the lives of the chickens in RH—the stay home edition! 5.36am - The morning alarm At around 5.30am, the first ‘cock-a-doodle-doo’ goes off like clockwork. I’m sure we’ve all heard it before… or at least some of us have: those rushing an assignment into the wee hou

(A commentary on being chalant  in an increasingly nonchalant world) In this age, being nonchalant has become an art form. You have to strike the perfect balance: just enough indifference, never the first to text, and not look too excited when you're being invited to plans (just me?) . Somewhere along the way, being ‘chill’ stopped being natural and started to be some kind of performance—one we put up to avoid looking needy, awkward, or like we care too much. Sadly, I’m guilt

There is simply no way to frame this other than just the musings of someone who is chronically online.  Over my 12 years of exposure to the strange little corners of the internet, I have gained several skills—reciting the entirety of Bye Sister  by Tati Westbrook ( Oh my God, time and place! And you did it at my birthday dinner! ), being able to identify at least  three different subsets of the 9/11 to Ellen DeGeneres pipeline (and I’ve even managed to extend it beyond just t

If I ever end up in a horror movie, I think I’m definitely surviving.  Part of that confidence comes from knowing I’d never pull a Mayor Larry Vaughn from Jaws  (1975). A woman washes up in pieces and this man’s first thought is, “Let’s keep the beaches open, folks! Gotta think of the economy!” Sir, your economy is floating in literal pieces. Instead of shutting things down, he slaps on a smile and calls it “one of the best summers we’ve ever had,” as if that’s not a leg drif
