When Michael Scott from 'The Office' said, \"I am running away from my responsibilities and it feels good\", I giggled at the TV screen. A wave of weariness and uncertainty descended upon me. Here I am, a fully functioning adult but I couldn't control the things happen in my life. The year 2020, is not so far ahead and it's to take charge of my life. <\/p>","type":"txt","id":1576924468022},{"id":1576927174411,"type":"img","data":"5dfdffc6c51e9"},{"data":"
1. To eat healthy. Studies have proven that excessive intake of carbohydrates and fats leads to laziness and lethargy. I spend an unnecessary amount of money on junk food which harms my productivity and which in turn harms mental state. So from this year, I aspire to give up oil- infested samosas and paradise of pizza. Eating healthy is the first step towards leading an healthy life. So bye, guilty pleasures and 3AM snacks.<\/p>","type":"txt","id":1576924804917},{"id":1576927264260,"type":"img","data":"5dfe0020a02dd"},{"data":"
2. Use less social media. I was nodding my head to the rant of the newest feat my friend accomplished. She inquired what I did during the holidays, I just nodded at that too. I mean all I did was sit on my phone and switch between four different apps all day long. My resolve is to use less social media, less scrolling and more living.<\/p>","type":"txt","id":1576925089118},{"id":1576927628763,"type":"img","data":"5dfe018d27502"},{"data":"
3. Give people compliments I saw a girl sad and depressed, I went upto her and said that she was one of the most beautiful I witnessed. My words may not help her situation but it made her smile. She said that her boyfriend cheated on her with her best friend. We then bonded over icecream and also our shared interests on one direction. That's how I made a good friend.

4. VOLUNTEER, VOLUNTEER. I volunteered for this event called ' share a meal' where we visited an orphanage and shared a meal with the underprivileged. I never felt so lucky, it seemed like the universe wantedly put me there to teach me gratitude and thankfulness. I took many things for granted like my parents, my studies, the things I was provided with. But everything changed after the visit. I started to appreciate life more and thank God more.

A lazy weekend is something everyone loves, wants and pines for the entire week. I mean, just the possibility of not having to bother about the alarm going off when the sun is just rising and not having to bother about anything except curling up in your favourite blanket in this winter and doing nothing is quite an interesting proposition. It is the second last weekend of 2019 and there are several reasons as to why the last two weekends of 2019 are best if enjoyed in a lazy manner. For starters, colleges have just started with a new semester and these two weeks are definitely gonna be the honey-moon phase of the semester, with Christmas and New Year coming up.<\/p>
But, while lazing around is fun, you can actually do it in a manner that will refresh and recharge you enough to kickstart the new week with a new vigour and zeal so you can go about achieving what you want to do.<\/p>
One thing I always do even on a lazy weekend is to have just a few goals to subtly accomplish throughout the day. Be it waking up at a reasonable time, having good food, making a quick to-do list of sorts for the week and to spend some quality time with my loved ones. <\/p>
So I suggest students to have a few goals, just like this. <\/p>
Wake up at a reasonable time and just spend the morning in a relaxed manner with your loved ones. This is extremely important for everyone, though we don't realise it. Why is it important? Because we spent the better part of an entire week at college\/office, hardly having spoken to our loved ones. So just do this first thing after you wake up.<\/p>
After this, make sure you have that much needed fun, having spent the entire week working. It might seem strange but I actually plan my lazy weekends sometimes, especially when I want to watch a particular series or finish a book. I set time aside for it over a weekend and finish it. <\/p>
While all this is on one side, I also ensure that before the day ends, I take time out to make a to-do list of the professional and personal things I have to do over the up coming week and ensure it is productive. Doing this after a relaxed weekend makes it easy as I am already refreshed.<\/p>"}]
Less than 10 days are left to bid our goodbye's to 2019, the year had drastic changes to both our day-to-day lives and the society we live in, and no matter how much change the year brought we all can agree on the point that they year passed fast, it feels like the last year's celebrations we just a few days ago.<\/p>
<\/p>
Apart from the innumerable stories we have to share about 2019, this article is for those who like to look on the brighter side of a new year and are filled with optimistic thoughts to make the year productive right from the start, I am going to add up what I have set as my goals for the year as well, so without any further ado, let us get started.<\/p>
Ever heard the phrase \"if you want to find something, start searching from the same place where you lost it\"? our main step involves the same, list out all the resolutions of the previous year you had been procrastinating and start with them. In my case, I had been procrastinating to read books and complete courses I enrolled in.<\/p>
The next step is to make a to-do list and analyze every month to see your progress. to-do lists can contain small goals to what you've been planning for a long time, books can be maintained to keep a track of all the required goals and tables can be used to fit more content.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1576938371751","data":"5dfe2dd4a4857"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1576938371752","data":"
Lastly, the important and difficult task is to complete each and every resolution, below are some of my new year resolutions: <\/p>
\n1. Read 2-3 books per month <\/p>
\n2. Complete a course every 3 months <\/p>
\n3. Start cooking to minimize the burden on mother <\/p>
\n4. Exercise more <\/p>
\n5. Build a strong skill set <\/p>
\n6. Travel to at least 3 places <\/p>
\n\n\nApart from all the information above the main idea is to sort out your goals or to-do list with a bit of realism and motivation, realism so you stay on the line and not suffer from disappointment and motivation so you complete all goals you've set for yourselves, share your resolutions you have set for coming year in the comment section. with all that said, Good luck with the next year's resolution.\n\n<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1576938371753","data":"5dfe2ea7eb097"}]
Like every time, this year is going to give the same blurry recap of whole year. So instead of letting it make me anxious, I'm looking forward to an excited year ahead. Let me start with my professional goals first!<\/p>","type":"txt","id":1576861881800},{"data":"

There's so much change both good and bad that we've experienced in this year, so before 2019 ends, let's take a minute to look back on our lives, our experiences and how we've interacted with the world so that you can decide to use these next year to be even better. <\/p>
That's what New Year\u2019s resolutions are all about, right? Changing yourself for the better. I have a love-hate relationship with 2019; this year was very eventful overall. <\/p>
The things I love about this year are:<\/b><\/p>
\u2022\tI started to take writing seriously, and it changed my life. And I am not even joking. The perception towards everything has changed and I started to appreciate things which I always cared less for.<\/p>
\u2022\tI started volunteering at various events across different platforms. At an NGO, where we helped the needy. I also worked as a volunteer at events such as Airtel Hyderabad Marathon, Maker Faire, and Comic-con. Working at various levels had a significant effect and helped me in dealing with people.<\/p>
\u2022\tI started writing stuff for my college newsletters where my skills are put to test and I enjoy that. This year was wholesome with good memories for the most part.<\/p>
We are living in a society where everyone is fighting for something or the other. Everyone has a different set of goals, dreams, and ambitions. And every opportunity is key for a productive year. And these opportunities don\u2019t come to us, we must search for work for what we want.<\/p>
The things which I hated are:<\/b><\/p>
\u2022\tI got played where I thought I was totally in control of the events.<\/p>
\u2022\tI wasted very valuable time and I faced difficult consequences.<\/p>
\u2022\tI spent time on things knowing it was a waste of time. <\/p>
In brief, all I learned in this year is I can multitask with good efficiency, and my capacity to tolerate challenging situations has increased. On the other side of the coin, I had my drawbacks.<\/p>
We all have this hidden potential in ourselves which we are scared to bring out, but once we let it loose we can we achieve everything we ever wanted.<\/p>
My resolutions for 2020 are: <\/b><\/p>
1.\tI will de-clutter my life:<\/b><\/p>
Knowing the necessity of things in our lives is important. And acting accordingly is also a herculean task. So I look forward to this resolution.<\/p>
2.\tI will learn a new skill:<\/b><\/p>
Learning is a never-ending process. And I wish to continue learning not only as a resolution but also as a lifestyle.<\/p>
3.\tI will be the reason for my happiness:<\/b><\/p>
Having control over life is very hard. And I feel control over life gives control over everything. And happiness in life gives me the motivation to work hard and I want to be the reason for my happiness.<\/p>
4.\tI will invest in myself:<\/b><\/p>
The investment in one\u2019s self gives the best return than anything in the world and the margins are higher than ever imagined. So I am going to my everything into this.<\/p>
5.\tI will be more grateful:<\/b><\/p>
Appreciating things and being grateful is such a hard task in today\u2019s world. We all are privileged to have a life like this and we give it less credit than it deserves. If you are reading this you are already the most privileged, as you have access to the internet and can read.<\/p>
As the year is coming to an end it is time for every one of us to introspect about the year and mold ourselves for an eventful year ahead.\n<\/p>
And a happy New Year!<\/p>"}]

Writing and sharing ideas is one of the best things you can do as once you write something, it is out there for anyone to read. Also, it can be intimidating, as in, writers often worry about what to write about. I see this a lot when students reach out to me and tell me they can't ideate. It is important for student writers to understand one thing and that is, stuMagz is a place where you can write anything of your interest and there will definitely be like-minded people who would love to read your works. <\/p>
The easiest way to share your ideas and let your thoughts be known to everyone is writing. As someone who has written extensively over the past 15 years, I believe there is one thing that doesn't let someone kickstart what they want to write (and no, before you want to say it, it is not \"writer's block\") - finding the right topic to write about. That is why I am writing this right now, to enable student writers to ideate easily.<\/p>
1: Write how-to blogs:<\/b><\/p>
There is definitely something that you are good at, be it something related to your academics or be it some extracurricular activity. It can also be about something that you've done earlier, like travelling solo, etc. The best part of such topics is that you already have the knowledge of what to write. For instance, writing and choosing topics is something that I am good at, so it is easy for me to write something on that.<\/p>
2: Write about travelling:<\/b><\/p>
Travel is something that gives a lot of new experiences. Seeing new places, learning things about those places, learning the language there, trying out different cuisines, there's a lot you experience while travelling and all of that makes for a good story. Write about your travel experiences and let someone else experience that place through your eyes. You get to re-live your travels and get to share knowledge at the same time!<\/p>
3: Write about your life experiences:<\/b><\/p>
I'm sure all of you have had several experiences in life and experiences are the essence of being human. Experiences contribute to the person that you are and writing about your experiences can also make for a great learning for others. They can be about good experiences, bad ones, ugly ones, experiences where you had to overcome something negative and more. These make for an excellent read.<\/p>
4: Write about your dreams and aspirations:<\/b><\/p>
If you're reading this, you're most likely a student with a lot of dreams and aspirations that you've always wanted to achieve. Write about them and write especially about what you are doing to achieve those dreams. Writing something along these lines has two benefits. One, you get to look at it from a different perspective and two, because you've written about it, you'll automatically want to achieve it to prove it to yourself. Now that a new year is starting, write about what you want to do in the new year!<\/p>
5: Write about the people in your life who made some difference to you:<\/b><\/p>
There are several people we cross paths with in our lives and some of them do impact our lives. It can be a parent, a teacher, a friend, a boss, anyone. Anyone who has the potential to and has contributed to your growth, enabling it. Write about that person as a way of letting them know what they mean to you. <\/p>"}]
\u201cThe only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.\u201d <\/p>
For some time now I kept thinking and pondering over my purpose what I want and what I see my self doing for the rest of my life. <\/p>
Knowing your purpose in life is important but often when our focus shifts to the timing of knowing our purpose it blinds us from seeing our purpose. <\/p>
We are surrounded by people who seem like they have it all figured out but that\u2019s just an illusion that people give us when the reality is far from it.\nThe truth is I recently figured out what I want to do for the rest of my life and that is to travel around the world and meet as many people as I can and I\u2019m fortunate enough to live in the generation where my hobby can turn into my profession.<\/p>
This is what I want to achieve in the year 2020 that\u2019s around the corner I want to travel, I want to explore the world that I\u2019m going to spend the rest of my life in and the different people that make this world home.<\/p>
\nIt feels like every other person wants to travel but standing out from the crowd is what matters so this will be my focus for the year 2020 to learn about the aspects of taking up traveling as a career. <\/p>
There is a lot to think about when we talk about traveling as a career the big question that everyone has is where will the money come from? And to answer your question no I\u2019m not related to Ambani in any way :P<\/p>
\nI would have to initially work and save up some money and then I can travel I can become a travel blogger, a travel food blogger for this I would need to spend ample amount of time to create my blog to add in that creativity which can make my blog outstand from the millions of blogs that\u2019s already existing and this is my passion. \n<\/p>
The best part is that there are so many online posts that top travel bloggers share on the tips and what to expect in taking up this profession.<\/p>
some examples:<\/p>
https:\/\/expertvagabond.com\/professional-travel-blogger\/<\/p>
https:\/\/chrisguillebeau.com\/28-things-i-wish-i-knew-before-i-started-traveling\/<\/p>
I'm going to use these various resources that are available to build my interest in this felid.<\/p>"}]
\n\n\nIt's time to welcome to a new year, so everyone is excited about it. for every year before starting I will set a goal and work for it. for this year, I have two goals i.e, one is to crack the GATE exam, another is to win in Basketball Tournaments in our College Sports Fest.\u00a0\n\n\nAt first, I planned to prepare myself and I brought some reference books(made easy) and I watched so many youtube videos of Gate Crackers, Gate academy......... but when my exams i.e., mids internals, externals &semesters \u00a0are started, due to lack in time management, I completed only three units in Network Analysis in a month. so this year decided to join in gate coaching in the ACE academy so that I can manage my timings. In my point of view, when we go to coaching, we will have proper guidelines and support, so that we can build our confidence also.\u00a0\n\n\n\nMy gate coaching will start this Monday. As we already know that GATE is something that we know formula but we get a wrong answer. this is because of the lack of basics or confusion in basics. I decided to concentrate on my basics before starting any subjects. so it will be easy for understanding the subject without much confusion.\u00a0 My favorite subjects in GATE are Network Analysis, Mathematics, Control systems, and communications and i decided to concentrate more on this subject and solve as many problems in this subject because if the paper is tough I can easily score at least minimum marks in this subjects. in my point of view, Made Easy books are the best books for GATE and ESE preparation. The explanation for every problem is very clear where we can cover maximum concepts from it.\n\n\nNext, my target is to win in tournaments, at first I have to concentrate on fitness. so I decided to avoid junk foods and try to increase my speed and shooting in the game. Even Basketball practice will start on Monday. I have practice in morning and evening but due to GATE coaching, I may skip my morning practice so I planned to spend an extra hour in the evening for practice. and also I have to manage my academics. This semester we have to finish our hobby and mini-project.so we planned to start our project as soon as possible to avoid stress and also we planned to minimize our bunks & listen to classes. it will be easy at the time of examination than one-night batting.\n\n\n\n\u00a0I know this plan is a little tough to do, but if we have confidence and a strong desire to achieve our goal, we can achieve any goals. First, we need to believe in ourselves, then only we can achieve any goals in our life. we may face so many obstacles in our journey, but if we have the confidence to face them, \u00a0it will be like a piece of paper. So, first, you set your goals without any confusion based on your thinking and your capabilities not from your friend's or teacher's suggestions or parent's force, next make a plan to achieve that goal and implement it without any delays then you will reach your success.\n\n\n<\/p>","type":"txt","id":1576780457409}]

Ever since I started working at stuMagz, I get a lot of friend requests from students on social media and on their profile, under the political views section, it usually is a variant of \"i hate politics\" (notice the non-capitalised 'i' there) and it reminded me of several of my friends who had something similar on their profiles when they were students. The on-going protests in the country and the varied reactions and viewpoints towards them have prompted me to write this.<\/p>
The dictionary definition of politics goes something like this 'the activities associated with the governance of a country or area'. The very fact that politics means the activities associated with the governance, means that every citizen should be politically aware and especially students. This makes it particularly important for students to be politically aware as students are the ones who are the future of this country or any other country for that matter. It is also important for students to realise that regardless of the perception towards politics, politics and the policies made by the ones ruling a country or a state affect everyone's lives directly.<\/p>
It becomes more important for students to understand politics and to be aware about the ongoing politics of the country when the students have aspirations to join the civil services of the country or even aspire to enter politics as without an understanding of what is what and without an understanding of political ideologies and their relevance to the socio-economic conditions of the country, it is practically impossible for someone to function in a good manner in those roles. I firmly believe that that is the reason behind most politicians being what they are right now, because of a lack of understanding of these aspects when they were students.<\/p>
The fact that student movements across the world and even in India have led to great changes happening should also tell students that it is extremely important for students to know about the political scenario in their own place.<\/p>
The Telangana agitation, the Jallikattu protests, the Nirbhaya protests, the fight against the emergency in the 1970s, all of these are prime examples of how politically aware students can actually make a change.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1576821500191","data":"
