 Helpful Hobbies

- Stuti Viral Dave

Oh! Sorry I'm late. I was attending my peaceful yoga classes, and they were perfect for relaxing after that long, hard game of badminton. After this, I'm heading to the library for a quiet reading moment, and then (attempting to) paint the gorgeous sunset outside! Finally, for dinner, I'm going to help my mum cook parathaas, cut vegetables, assist my dad while he tries his very best to watch a tutorial and make a Bombay Toast Sandwich, and prepare delicious- and healthy- potato wedges, myself!

"Why do I do so much?" you ask? Well, because they're all my hobbies and they benefit me so much in their own ways! Exercising and doing sports release endorphins; relaxing activities like yoga help release serotonin; spending time with your family and friends releases oxytocin; performing fun tasks like cooking or painting releases dopamine- the list goes on!

Overall, hobbies really do lift your mood and destress you- everything a student needs! With the constant juggle between school, homework, studying, family, and friends, sometimes you can feel lost. I know that for sure because I've felt that way, too... Managing time feels hard- but that's mainly only because of excess screen time that wasn't even needed in the first place! Hobbies can send you on the right path.

When you have something interesting to focus on, your brain gets a chance to declutter; stop worrying and start just enjoying whatever it's working on right now. You look at a screen for a way shorter time when you've got a hobby. Think of it like this: you don't have anything to do, so you feel bored and use your laptop for more time than what was intended- now you've wasted too much of your life and are falling behind on your real work. If you have options of what to do when you have nothing to do, you can use your free time wisely and in a fun way! You even get to learn new things along the way! And hey- it looks good on your college resume, too!

Fast Fashion Facade!

-
  Fast Fashion Facade! -Stuti   Viral   Dave Have you ever watched a reel of an influencer showing off their many outfits? Or have you heard that, to be fashionable, you should never repeat an outfit? Many people, including myself, definitely have, and it’s no longer just "just", as people are getting accustomed to it. These things are everywhere. But did you know that these outrages are nothing but a waste of money and pollution? Fast fashion is something that a few people advertise their clothing brands to be—trendy, stylish, and a must-have. But this word has way more. So, what is fast fashion, really? Fast fashion means the practice of buying clothes when not necessary, only to discard them in a short time, without proper or complete use. It is a major contributor to pollution, yet it is not as renowned as it should be. People hurt the Earth with the excuse of treating their children to a brand-new dress for their birthday or to look stylish at a fancy party. Unle...

ChatGPT + Environment = Not a good combo!

  ChatGPT + Environment = Not a good combo! -Stuti Viral Dave How many times do you use ChatGPT in a day? If you say more than five times, you are definitely not alone. Ever since AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Meta AI came to existence, all you needed to go further! They have so much potential! With them, you can research, write poetry, generate funny memes, and so much more. But all things come at a cost, and so does ChatGPT. This article is all about why you should be concerned. For starters, these chatbots are really easy to become dependent on. Students who could not excel due to a lack of understanding and struggled earlier could now have an entire report generated in just a few clicks! However, when the AI is taken away from them, such as during an exam, they do not know how to respond. By thinking that they had everything covered by using ChatGPT, during moments where they need to use their own brains, they do not know how to. Humanisers do exist, which could keep them from...

What's With Water?

  What's   With   Water? - Stuti Viral Dave Let's take a moment to stop what we're doing and reflect on our pasts. Done? Now, think about your ancestors. What did they have that we don't, which made them way more healthy overall? Many things, actually. Their diets, their exercising, their lack of screen time, and many more things gave older Indians significantly better lifestyles than we. A key factor in this was water-drinking habits... Which water-drinking habits do we follow? Most Indians usually do not drink enough water, leading to dehydration, which is even worse in parts closer to the equator, with hotter climates, such as Tamil Nadu. Now, plastic bottle packaging has become very common, but leaving these plastic bottles in the heat for too long can melt them, and the BPA and phthalates seep into the water, making it contaminated and unhealthy to drink. Also, many people now prefer sugary and carbonated drinks, rather than water, to quench their thirst, but it is...
