[Introspective] My Advice to My Younger Self

For the past two years, I've been doing some much-needed soul searching and reflection on my life journey. Naturally, with the knowledge I know now as an adult; I pondered what advice I'd bestow upon my younger self if I could go back in time and it would be the following:

Health & Wellness

Taking care of your health and wellness needs to be a priority because if you're not well and healthy, you'll greatly limit your activity and stop yourself from accomplishing your dreams or goals. For starters, you need to maintain a healthy diet by first adhering to a strictly vegetarian diet before transitioning fully to a vegan or plant-based diet full-time. You are what you eat after all and nutrition plays a vital role in maintaining health, wellness, and a healthy lifestyle.

Career & Education

As early as middle school or as late as high school nail down your passion or passions. What would you like to pursue as a career? Create a roadmap on how you plan to get there. Do you really need to go to college or are there more viable cost-effective ways to achieve your desired outcomes? There are many options on the table.

Self-Care

Time must be set aside for personal self-care routines weekly. Don't allow yourself to get lost in the sauce of the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Slow down, smell the roses, meditate, and clear your mind.

What advice would you tell your younger self?

[List] My Top 10 Favorite Saved by the Bell Episodes

Saved by the Bell (1989) Peter Engel Productions//NBC Productions (NBC) I grew up watching reruns of Saved by the Bell, and I decided to list my top 10 favorite episodes from the show. Therefore, there will be no episodes from Good Morning, Miss Bliss. 10. "Drinking and Driving" This particular episode presented an important message in a manner that didn't come across as preachy and it really resonated. The message presented was loud and clear and so were the potential consequences of drinking and driving. 9. "All in the Mall" I enjoyed all of the hijinks that ensued during this episode. Imagine spending the night at the mall to buy some concert tickets. 8. "The Wicked Stepbrother (Part 2)" Eric was a good foil to Zack and gave him the runaround. Also, it was nice that Lisa was able to have her own serious love interest that lasted for more than one episode. 7. "Fourth of July" I enjoyed the overall premise of this episode. For example, t...

[Review] Soul Of The Deep

Soul of the Deep is the sequel novel to Skin of the Sea in Natasha Bowen's Orisha Mermaid series. I really enjoyed the first novel, and I couldn't wait to read the sequel, and while I did overall enjoy this novel, it wasn't as good as the first one. I felt like most of the plot twists were fairly obvious and not really all too surprising. The cat-and-mouse and will they or won't they romance between Simi and Adekola was starting to wear thin. However, I'm glad that they did get together as it was possible for them to do so now that Kola was an orisha and not human. I think that this novel served as a good juxtaposition to the first one and it was good to see familiar faces once again. In the end, I did like this novel it was a good read. I just preferred the action/adventure elements of the first novel more over the second's warring kingdoms scenario. I do recommend this novel because it nicely ties up leftover plot threads from the first novel and presented...

[Opinion] The Batman will be a Polarizing Film

The Batman film which is slated to grace movie theater screens in 2022 has a lot riding on it, and I suspect like some other previous DC films, it will be a film that polarizes audiences. Warner Bros. needs a win after the disappointing performances of Wonder Woman 1984 and The Suicide Squad. They're essentially rebooting the Batman films yet again within such a short timeframe. Furthermore, the plan is to create a film trilogy set in a different universe from the DCEU (Earth-2 to be exact) and develop multiple different spin-offs as well. However, it'll be challenging if audiences don't embrace the new iterations or direction Warner Bros. is taking the Batman characters. Personally, my interest was piqued because of some of the casting choices they've made. Admittedly, the second trailer that was released got me excited for the film mainly due to seeing more of Zoe Kravitz's take on Selina Kyle/Catwoman. I'm still not completely sold on Robert Pattinson as...
