Ranking Zero-Calorie Drinks
I really like zero-calorie drinks, and I am not totally sure why. If I had to guess, it is because my parents banned them when I was younger because of the caffeine. That logic never fully made sense to me, since plenty of non-zero-calorie drinks also have caffeine. The ban just made them feel “special,” and now I clearly over-correct.
There is a good Arabic saying for this:
الممنوع مرغوب
What is banned is wanted
Powerlifting, and Why I Am Still Doing It
I keep thinking I will never be good at powerlifting.
Not in the fake-humble way. I mean it in the way where I watch someone move a weight like it is nothing, and I am still fighting the same rep I fought months ago. I still miss commands sometimes. I still doubt my technique mid-set. I still have days where the bar feels heavier than it should.
But I still do it.
What I miss in My Campus Job
If you know me personally, you might now that I work at University of Chicago Computer Science Instructional Laboratory (CSIL). Do I like working there? Absolutely. I feel like I did well, learnt a lot, accomplished more and made CSIL better for the staff and users. I play a huge role in almost all deployments, debugging any problem and try to help everyone, even if they don’t ask for it. I became the person people depend on a lot.
Why you might ask?
