December Already

Hello everyone. It is December already and 2019 is almost over. Wow. It is the last day of Thanksgiving Break, and I had a nice day today. We are in the midst of rainy weather and cold temperatures, and it doesn't look like it'll be clearing up for the rest of the week. Today was a good day for me because I got work done and had quite a bit of fun. Now I just ate good food and am relaxing before I go to sleep. I don't have much more to say. Hope that I can continue maintaining productivity and satisfaction with myself as I did in the past. Still not perfect, but I will continue to work on improving my reflection and following through with my goals. Because life is good right now and I don't have much to say, I'll end the post here.

Season's Greetings

Hi all, Nothing formal. I just wanted to update this blog since it's been a while. Amazingly, just another month of college applications remains. I am now sitting on the computer, writing a blog post, for which I have very little idea. One thing I want to improve about myself is my lifestyle. I have a problem of getting easily distracted by the Internet and computers. I want to get to a point where I have established for myself a means to stay busy. Whatever it be, I just don't want to spend my time aimlessly watching videos or browsing online. I seek to do what I do with a purpose. At this point, I am somewhat happy with my lifestyle. I write in my journal daily, which gives me a record of the things in my life. For the past 6-7 weeks, I've been running 3 miles a day, which gives me a reason to be happy and maintain discipline (although I have missed more than the past week due to sickness and recovery). I have made a conscious effort to withdraw from my addiction to...

Changing Colors

Hi there! It's been a while since the last post, so I might as well discuss what I've been up to lately. School started roughly a month ago, and I'm enjoying the classes so far. I have also begun applications for college, which is simultaneously exciting and frightening. For Underground School, I posted some new videos based on the topics we are covering in math and physics. In physics, we are currently discussing the concept of relativity, which is interesting because we have the opportunity to put ourselves in the shoes of physicists about a century ago, and to vicariously experience the ingenuity behind some of the thought experiments conducted by physicists like Lorentz and Einstein. Other than that, things are going pretty okay. I ran a mile and a half with my friends earlier this evening around the neighborhood interior circle. I also climbed the biggest tree in the park without height assistance, which is nice. Today, I had little homework, so I worked on editing som...

Hello August

Hello everyone! I realize that I haven't committed to my promise of one-post a day, and this is actually the second time I've broken my promise. I guess I got bored of writing. I ran out of ideas, and didn't have much motivation to continue writing. However, I also recognize the long-term benefit of writing and preserving these memories, hence why I'm writing right now. As summer vacation comes to a close, I must say that I enjoyed this one. I had the chance to work, and had twice as much fun. I'm grateful to have had an internship this year. My last summer vacation was wracked with guilt of not working, as I had been rejected from all the places I applied to. I wanted to work, but wasn't driven enough to follow up on my goals. I think if I had been given a similar opportunity to work and learn from others, I'd have enjoyed it. Thankfully, I have more to show this summer, and was able to make this summer more productive and guilt-free than the last. - Hipp...

Underground School

I haven't officially introduced my YouTube channel on this blog, so I figured I might as well do it here. I started the channel in the beginning of June with the goal of spreading knowledge through Hindi lectures/videos, mainly regarding academic topics, such as math, physics, and computer engineering. By making videos, I hope to myself learn more about such topics, and to grow the channel. Thus far, the channel is performing reasonably. At the moment, I have 17 subscribers. Most of my series videos don't get many hits, so I should probably revamp my teaching style or the pertinence of the content I post.

Shoutout from Black Pen Red Pen?!?!

What's up guys? Something crazy happened today. So I went on YouTube and randomly stumbled upon BPRP's live stream. During the stream, there were about 40-70 people, and not that crowded, and it was an informal discussion with Lars, one of BPRP's viewers battling cancer. I started asking questions to bprp and Lars, and asked a few questions. I've been watching the channel's videos for a while now, and I hardly thought that Steve would read aloud say the name "Underground School". Given that this guy has over 300K subscribers, this opportunity was truly a blessing.
