When you are stressed what do you do to relax?

Whether its exams or busy season, I prioritize leaving time at the end of each day to unwind. Personally, grabbing a cup of tea and self-reflective journaling are my go-to’s. Recently, I’ve been using The Self Reflection Card set by to explore self-reflection topics and inspire my journaling! I’ve found that doing this has allowed me to reset and start the following day with a clear and relaxed mind, ultimately allowing me to face any challenges my day may bring.

What advice would you give your first-year self?

Dear first-year Aksh*ta,
It's fine to not be like others. Please don't base your self-worth off of what others think of you or how they treat you. You will find your people soon!! You are good enough. I know imposter syndrome is a very real thing, and it's perfectly fine to feel inadequate sometimes. But, in the end, it's not about how much you've accomplished or how you appear in comparison to others. It's all about how you treat yourself. Always remember to be gentle with yourself and to keep pushing forward. Take small steps, but never give up your dreams. You’ve got this! Also, don't forget to call your parents. :)

How important do you think self-improvement is? I think self improvement is crucial in any walk of life. In my opinion, self improvement is vital to foster heathy relationships with both yourself, people in your life, and others.

None of us are the same person we were a year ago, a month ago, or even yesterday. Everyday we learn something more about ourselves and the world around us that changes the way we think and allows us to grow as individuals.

We're back and better than ever HUMANS OF SAF!

What skill would you most like to master?

“I’d want the skills of an entrepreneur. I would like to start my own business in the future and I think entrepreneurial skills like innovation, motivation, leadership, and general knowledge in running a business would be helpful”

How do you motivate yourself when you’re in a slump?

"I motivate myself by getting myself more excited through other activities. I take late night walks, play video games(Pokemon go), sketch, eat food, sing out loud, take showers at weird times, read, text people, games, music, watch MatPat, sleep, jump around, give up and then proceed to kick myself for even considering giving up.)"

Welcome back Humans of SAF!

What inspires you to draw?

"I like to paint stories. I am very self-indulgent and like to create things that inspire me from pre-existing content. I also draw out of spite. Sometimes I feel like I can’t finish anything, so I prove myself wrong through drawing."

Who do you look up to the most, and what qualities do you love about that person?

"We look up to our friend Keshika because she inspires us with her toilet humour. Our favourite memory with her would be speed walking back to our dorm so she could blow it up🤯"
