me - but with anything uni related 😭

i did this instead of writing

[financeprincess]

I spent, at a minimum, at least $500-$1,000 a month exclusively on my self improvement. Here is most of what I spend on, in no particular order:

Education (classes, books, courses, certifications, college tuition, seminars, etc.)

Private lessons for languages, musical instruments, sports, etc.

Personal hobbies and passion projects

Crest whitening strips (great when in a pinch), Invisalign, professional whitening, preventative dental care, prescription whitening products from my dentist

Investments such as index funds, REITs, ETFs, CDs, individual stocks, commodities, appreciative luxury items, precious metals & gems, etc.

Organic food, vitamins, supplements, high quality healthcare, therapy, massages, prescriptions (Rx skincare, etc.)

New glasses & contacts (getting some bayonetta glasses from Burberry soon, very excited)

Sports, gym membership + sauna, hot yoga, Pilates, kickboxing, tennis, skiing, dance, etc.

Personal care such as bath/shower products, body care, haircare, skincare, makeup, brightening eye drops, perfume, etc.

Travel, events, concerts, festivals, etc.

Shopping (clothes, accessories, home goods, etc.)

Eating out at restaurants and going to coffee shops

Beauty treatments such as manicures, pedicures, waxes, brow tint & threading, salon blowouts, hair cuts & colors, facials, lash lift & tints, vitamin IVs, etc.

Regular visits to my dermatologist, dentist, psychiatrist, eye doctor, primary care physician, gynecologist, and any other specialists

Semi-regular appointments with a personal trainer, holistic nutritionist, and dietitian

I don't do all of these every single month, but most of these are recurring throughout the year and budgeted accordingly. Eventually I might add in more intense cosmetic work like medspa services, Botox, etc. If you can find a workplace with a great benefits package such as high quality healthcare, an HSA/FSA, health & wellness reimbursements for the gym, disability & life insurance, etc. I would highly recommend it and max out all the benefits you can.

[nataliescatorccioapologist]

Thinking about what each Yellowjackets survivor did with the settlement money from the crash (bc we all know they most likely got lawsuit money) and how it relates to how each character copes with trauma.

Shauna- Uses the money to buy Jeff his furniture store. Shauna is coping through denial. She thinks that if she fills her life with stable things (a working husband, a child, a house, a business) that she will become stable too. She’s trying to live a boring apple pie life in an attempt to deny her desire for the adrenaline and danger that living in the Wilderness gave her. You can see this in her demeanor, too. Shauna acts very sweet, innocent, and harmless, but in a actuality she’s hiding a darker, more unhinged side of herself.

Tai- Uses the money to fund her college education/political pursuits. Tai copes through drive and determination. She works and works and works so that she doesn’t have time to think. Taissa is acting out the life that she wanted before the crash. She keeps striving for success and accomplishment hoping that these things will make her happy, but as she says to Shauna, “none of those things felt real” to her.

Lottie - Uses the money to start her wellness center (cult). Lottie is coping through her spirituality, as she did in the Wilderness. She leans on the idea of forces outside of herself having a plan for her and those around her so that she can relinquish control. This allows Lottie to have faith that things will get better and that everything is happening for a reason even as she is going through intense trauma. Lottie feels at peace when she is using this faith to help others, which is why she starts her wellness center. And even though she at first attempted to focus her spirituality on holistic means rather than the supernatural, the Wilderness eventually creeped back in.

Van - Van uses the money to open up her VHS store. This shows that Van copes through living in the past. She shells out her own little corner where she can surround herself with things that made her happy before the crash and hide from the rest of the world. Similar to Tai, she’s trying to be who she was before the crash. Van surrounds herself with 90s memorabilia and all of the movies and music that she used to love so she doesn’t have to acknowledge that she’s not that person anymore.

Nat - Nat uses the money for drugs, traveling, and material possessions like cars and clothing. Nat is trying to fill a void within herself. She’s focused on what will make her feel okay in the present moment. Getting high or buying a fancy car or designer handbag that she could never afford in her childhood numbs the guilt and trauma for a moment, and when this numbness wears off, she seeks it out again and again because she doesn’t have a long-term solution. She lives as a transient using the money to move from motel to motel trying to escape herself and avoid creating any attachments because she feels that she destroys everyone she comes into contact with. Basically, Nat is focused solely on on what will get her through each day, as she had to do in the Wilderness and even before the crash living in an abusive home.

Travis - Similar to Natalie, Travis uses the money on drugs and isolation. Not much is known about adult Travis unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you feel about him), but we do know that he had a drug problem like Nat and fled to New Hampshire to try to hide away from everything. He isolated himself completely in an attempt to block out the world and reminders of what he did in the Wilderness.

Misty - Uses the money to fund her education and career in the nursing field. Misty is coping by making people need her, as she did with Ben and all of the Yellowjackets in the Wilderness. She craves being depended and relied on because this is the only way she has ever received acceptance from others. She becomes a nurse for the elderly because she knows this demographic will depend on her more than any other. Using her medical knowledge to help those in need made her feel loved in the Wilderness, and she is still chasing that feeling.

Anyways can you tell I think about these characters way too much?

Unlocking Creativity and Curiosity: Innovative Learning Activities for Preschoolers

Preschool is a magical phase in a child’s life, full of wonder, exploration, and rapid development. At this stage, young minds are naturally curious and creative, making it the perfect time to introduce innovative learning activities. These activities not only build foundational skills but also ignite a lifelong love for learning. At Rhythm Play School in Noida, we believe that nurturing creativity and curiosity is essential for holistic development. Here’s how innovative activities can make learning exciting and impactful for preschoolers.

Why Focus on Creativity and Curiosity?

Creativity and curiosity are the building blocks of critical thinking, problem-solving, and adaptability—skills that children will carry throughout their lives. Encouraging preschoolers to ask questions, experiment, and think outside the box helps them develop confidence and resilience. When children explore their surroundings with curiosity, they not only learn new concepts but also form deeper connections with the world around them.

Innovative Learning Activities for Preschoolers

Sensory Play for Exploration Sensory activities engage children’s senses—sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell—stimulating their brain development. Activities like playing with textured materials, exploring water and sand, or using edible play dough help children develop motor skills while satisfying their innate curiosity.

Example: Create a “discovery box” filled with objects like feathers, pebbles, and pinecones for children to explore.

Artistic Expression Art provides preschoolers with an avenue to express themselves freely. Offering non-traditional tools like sponges, leaves, or even fingers for painting allows them to experiment with textures and colors.

Example: Try a collaborative mural project where children contribute their creativity to a large canvas, fostering teamwork and individual expression.

STEM Activities for Little Innovators Introduce basic STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) concepts through fun and simple experiments. Building block towers, mixing colors, or growing plants teach scientific principles while keeping the experience hands-on and engaging.

Example: Set up a “mini volcano” activity using baking soda and vinegar to demonstrate chemical reactions.

Imaginative Role-Play Role-playing allows children to step into different characters, enhancing their social and communication skills. Setting up pretend scenarios like a grocery store, a doctor’s clinic, or a kitchen encourages creativity and problem-solving.

Example: Organize a “pretend play day” with costumes and props to let children explore various professions.

Nature Exploration Outdoor activities provide endless opportunities for discovery. Nature walks, leaf collection, and bug observation not only enhance sensory experiences but also instill a sense of environmental awareness.

Example: Plan a scavenger hunt where children collect specific items like flowers, rocks, or leaves, learning about their surroundings.

Storytelling and Puppet Shows Stories fuel imagination and build language skills. Incorporating puppets or props makes storytelling interactive and engaging, encouraging children to participate and create their own narratives.

Example: Let children design their own puppets and perform a short story as a group activity.

Music and Movement Music-based activities like dancing, singing, and instrument exploration help children develop rhythm, coordination, and listening skills. Combining music with movement fosters both physical and cognitive development.

Example: Use action songs like “If You’re Happy and You Know It” to teach rhythm and body awareness.

How Rhythm Play School Encourages Creativity

At Rhythm Play School, Noida, our approach to early education is rooted in fostering creativity and curiosity. Our programs are designed to provide children with diverse opportunities to explore, experiment, and grow. From sensory play zones to outdoor exploration areas and art workshops, every activity is thoughtfully curated to ignite young imaginations.

The Benefits of Innovative Activities

Cognitive Development: Activities that encourage curiosity and creativity stimulate brain growth and enhance problem-solving skills.

Social Skills: Collaborative tasks teach children how to communicate, share, and work as part of a team.

Confidence Building: Allowing children to explore and express themselves helps build self-esteem and independence.

Foundation for Lifelong Learning: A curious mind is an engaged mind. Encouraging exploration early lays the groundwork for a lifelong passion for learning.

Conclusion

Unlocking creativity and curiosity in preschoolers is the key to nurturing well-rounded individuals. Innovative activities that inspire exploration, imagination, and critical thinking prepare children not just for school but for life. At Rhythm Play School, we are committed to providing a nurturing environment where every child’s unique potential can flourish.

Let’s inspire our little learners to dream big, explore fearlessly, and grow into confident, creative individuals. Visit Rhythm Play School, Noida, and discover how our innovative learning programs can make a difference in your child’s journey!

"Good at Being Bad" Lyrics - Back to the Future the Musical

Biff had a song that was cut from the musical. For more specific backstory on the song and its previous iteration "It's What I Do" read my other post about it. Its second and final version before it was cut is "Good at Being Bad."

This song is very introspective and sheds light on why Biff is the way he is. It isn't an excuse for what he does in the musical, but it provides a reasoning behind his view of the world.

There are multiple versions of this iteration— there is a "prologue" that differs between the demo on YouTube and the lyrics given in the Creating Back to the Future the Musical book. I'd imagine lyrics were flip-flopping around a lot, but I'll provide both versions of the prologue here for archive's sake.

Demo on YouTube | Lyric transcription under the cut

PROLOGUE - BOOK VERSION I was a gullible boy I had a hard time just playing with others A deeply impressionable child Who cried when his bird died Preferred pastel colors

I was a delicate boy Everyone treated me like a pariah I kept my feelings inside Nursing the hurting And deep in denial

Left on my own The damage was done to me How could I have known Someday they would run from me Dad wasn't there Mom didn't care Life isn't fair Life isn't fair

PROLOGUE - DEMO VERSION I was a delicate boy I had a hard time just playing with others A deeply impressionable child Who cried when his bird died Preferred pastel colors

I was a highly-strung kid Things need to happen in just the right order Misunderstood and alone Stayed in his cage hiding under the covers The children were mean Expert in cruelty I was so green How they mistreated me

Dad wasn't there Mom didn't care Life isn't fair Life isn't fair

I was a delicate boy I was alone with no sister or brother I was too fat and too slow The one they made fun of A party piñata

I was a delicate boy Everyone treated me like a pariah I kept my feelings inside Nursing the hurting And deep in denial

Left on my own The damage was done to me How could I have known Someday they would run from me

Dad wasn't there Mom didn't care Life isn't fair Life isn't fair

MAIN SONG - BOTH VERSIONS

But life does go on… And given the time Life can turn on a dime When I turned thirteen

My fat was all gone Replaced by pure brawn And I quickly discerned That the tables had turned

I had a revelation Based on my situation For my hurt to be gone I had to just pass it on Yes, I just pass it on

So don't complain I felt your pain That's why I'm good At being bad

I have the urge To simply purge These negative feelings I once had I pass it on And then it's gone And somehow, I'm no longer sad

Let me explain I've felt your pain That's why I'm just so good At being bad

And I'll teach you how to suffer And I'll train you with this pain I'll make you that much tougher To know the taste of shame

I let off steam I hear you scream I'm just so good at being bad I give you grief It's my relief

From negative feelings I once had I pass it on And then it's gone And somehow, I'm no longer sad

Let me explain I've felt your pain That's why I'm just so good

ENSEMBLE He's just so good

BIFF Oh, that's why I'm good

ENSEMBLE He's just so good

BIFF That's why I'm just so good At being bad I'm very good At being bad

Don't let me be misunderstood I pick on you for your own good When it's a win-win situation That my fun's your education

It's not sadistic It's cathartic It's holistic Not anarchic

I'll say again I've felt your pain That's why I'm just so good

ENSEMBLE He's just so good

BIFF At being bad

When you have to take a beating There's so much you can learn And it's all worth repeating When someday it becomes your turn

So don't complain I felt your pain That's why I'm good At being bad

I have the urge To simply purge These negative feelings I once had I pass it on And then it's gone And somehow, I'm no longer sad

Let me explain I've felt your pain That's why I'm just so good

ENSEMBLE He's just so good

BIFF I'm very good

ENSEMBLE He's so darn good

BIFF I'm very very very very good

ENSEMBLE He's just so good

BIFF (ENSEMBLE) At being bad (Aah) Oh yes I am (Aah) (So good, so good) (Aah, good at being bad) Expert (Aah, aah) (So good, so good, aah)

ALL Good at being bad!

the benefits of positive social capital formations via arts

IntroductionIn recent years, there has been a growing interest in the relationship between positive social capital formations and the arts. Social capital refers to the networks, relationships, and trust that exist within a community, while the arts encompass a wide range of creative expressions that have the power to foster connections and inspire change. By examining the ways in which the arts can contribute to the development of social capital, we can gain insight into the mechanisms through which communities can build resilience, foster cooperation, and promote well-being. This research seeks to demonstrate the tangible benefits that accrue from investing in positive social capital formations via arts-based initiatives, shedding light on the transformative potential of creative expression in strengthening social bonds and enhancing community cohesion.

Understanding Social Capital in the Context of ArtsUnderstanding social capital in the context of arts is crucial for recognizing the intertwined relationship between cultural participation and social cohesion. Social capital, defined as the networks, relationships, and norms that facilitate collective action, can be fostered and strengthened through engagement in artistic endeavors. By participating in arts activities, individuals create bonds with others who share similar interests, forming a sense of community and belonging. These connections can lead to increased trust, reciprocity, and social support within a group, ultimately contributing to the development of positive social capital . Moreover, arts engagement has been shown to bridge social divides, promote diversity, and enhance communication among diverse groups (Dario Castiglione et al., 2008-04-17). Therefore, exploring how the arts can cultivate social capital offers valuable insights into its potential benefits for fostering inclusive and cohesive societies.

The Positive Impact of Social Capital Formations through ArtsThe Positive Impact of Social Capital Formations through Arts lies in its ability to foster cultural heritage, educational value, and promote environmental and social responsibility within a community. Drawing on postmodern cultural theory and the principles of the Triple Bottom Line, arts engagement not only enriches individuals aesthetically but also contributes to the holistic development of society. Postmodern music culture has introduced new concepts and experiences to vocal art, reflecting the societal shifts towards deconstruction and anti-traditional ideologies (Tao Liu, 2018). Moreover, the Triple Bottom Line framework emphasizes the importance of economic, environmental, and social responsibilities for enterprises, highlighting the sustainability and ethical dimensions of social capital formation through arts (Qun Wang, 2016). By integrating these insights, the positive impact of arts in fostering social capital formations is evident in promoting cultural understanding, sustainable practices, and responsible governance, thus enhancing the overall well-being of a community.

Case Studies Demonstrating the Benefits of Positive Social Capital Formations via ArtsThe exploration of case studies reveals the transformative power of positive social capital formations through the arts. Johnson's analysis of cities like Glasgow, Bilbao, Singapore, and Geelong illustrates how the arts can activate individuals, rebuild communities, enliven the polity, aid physical regeneration, and reorient economies, highlighting the instrumental role of the arts in addressing economic and social challenges. By delving into the historical contexts of these cities and their unique approaches to cultural strategies, Johnson emphasizes the importance of sustainable arts agendas that distribute benefits equitably and minimize adverse impacts on urban landscapes. These case studies exemplify how cities, particularly those experiencing economic or social decline, leverage the arts to rejuvenate their societies, foster community engagement, and promote long-term cultural, political, and economic sustainability. Through these examples, the profound impact of positive social capital formations via the arts emerges as a catalyst for urban revitalization and societal transformation.

Implications for Society and Policy RecommendationsThe implications of positive social capital formations through the arts extend beyond individual well-being to influence society at large. As Beacom et al. (cite7) suggest, effective governance strategies are essential in navigating systemic risks that impact sustainable development, with a particular focus on societal transformation processes. Considering the interconnectedness of agents within systems and the homomorphism of systemic risks across various domains, such as migration phenomena, a scientific approach rooted in complexity science is crucial for informing policy decisions. By recognizing the potential for arts-based activities to enhance social capital and foster community cohesion, policymakers can leverage these positive elements to address societal challenges. Policy recommendations should prioritize the integration of arts initiatives into broader social and economic strategies, thereby harnessing the transformative power of creative expression to build resilient and inclusive societies. Informed by empirical evidence and theoretical frameworks, such policy interventions hold promise in promoting sustainable development and mitigating systemic risks associated with social dynamics.

ConclusionIn conclusion, the findings of this study underscore the significant benefits that positive social capital formations through engagement with the arts can bring to communities. By fostering connections, trust, and mutual support among individuals, arts-based social capital can contribute to improved well-being, mental health, and overall quality of life. Through avenues such as community arts programs, festivals, and workshops, individuals are provided with opportunities for self-expression, creativity, and collaboration, which in turn can strengthen social ties and networks. Furthermore, the cultivation of shared values, understanding, and empathy that often result from participation in arts-based activities can help to bridge divides and promote social cohesion within diverse communities. Thus, investing in and supporting the arts as a means of building social capital can have far-reaching positive effects on individuals and communities alike.

The Elusive Spark: Untangling the Threads of Genius, Giftedness, and Emerging Intelligence

Human intelligence, a multifaceted tapestry woven with threads of logic, creativity, intuition, and adaptability, remains one of the most intriguing and debated subjects in science and philosophy. While standardized tests attempt to quantify this elusive quality, the true nature of intelligence eludes simple measurement. This article delves into the complex nuances of human intelligence, exploring the distinctions between genius, giftedness, and the burgeoning concept of “emerging” intelligence, all the while acknowledging the limitations of our current understanding.

Giftedness: Nurturing the Seeds of Potential

Giftedness, often identified in early childhood, typically manifests as exceptional aptitude in a specific domain, be it mathematics, language, music, or visual arts. These individuals possess an innate ability to learn and master new concepts quickly, often demonstrating advanced problem-solving skills and an insatiable curiosity within their chosen field. However, giftedness is not a monolithic trait. It encompasses a diverse spectrum of abilities and talents, each requiring unique nurturing and educational approaches to fully blossom.

Genius: The Dawn of Revolutionary Insights

Genius, a term often imbued with a sense of awe and reverence, represents a rare and extraordinary level of intellectual prowess. Geniuses are not merely adept at problem-solving; they are pioneers, forging new paths of understanding and reshaping the very landscape of their disciplines. Think Einstein’s theory of relativity or Mozart’s symphonies — groundbreaking contributions that fundamentally altered our perception of the universe and the possibilities of human expression. Genius, unlike giftedness, often transcends a single domain, encompassing an ability to connect seemingly disparate ideas and synthesize novel perspectives.

Emerging Intelligence: The Unfolding Enigma

A relatively nascent concept, “emerging” intelligence suggests a dynamic and evolving understanding of intellectual capacity. It challenges the traditional, static view of intelligence as a fixed attribute, instead positing that intelligence can emerge and develop throughout life, influenced by a complex interplay of genetic predisposition, environmental factors, and personal experiences. This perspective emphasizes the potential for growth and adaptation, highlighting the plasticity of the human brain and its remarkable ability to rewire and reorganize itself in response to new challenges and learning opportunities.

The Interplay of Nature and Nurture

While the debate surrounding the relative contributions of nature versus nurture in shaping intelligence continues, the prevailing consensus points toward a complex interplay of both. Genetic predisposition undoubtedly lays the foundation for cognitive abilities, but the environment plays a crucial role in nurturing and cultivating these innate potentials. Access to quality education, enriching experiences, and a supportive social environment can significantly impact an individual’s intellectual development and unlock hidden talents.

Beyond the IQ Test: Embracing the Multiplicity of Intelligence

Standardized tests, while providing a useful benchmark for certain cognitive skills, fail to capture the full spectrum of human intelligence. They often prioritize logical-mathematical reasoning and verbal comprehension, neglecting other crucial aspects such as emotional intelligence, creativity, and practical skills. Howard Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences, which proposes eight distinct types of intelligence — including musical, spatial, interpersonal, and bodily-kinesthetic — offers a more holistic perspective, acknowledging the diverse ways in which individuals can excel and contribute to society.

The Uncharted Territory of Potential

The concept of emerging intelligence underscores the limitations of our current understanding of human potential. It suggests that we may only be scratching the surface of what the human mind is capable of achieving. As neuroscience and cognitive psychology continue to advance, our comprehension of intelligence will undoubtedly evolve, revealing new dimensions and unlocking further possibilities for individual growth and societal advancement.

Conclusion: The Ongoing Quest for Understanding

The quest to unravel the mysteries of human intelligence is a journey that has captivated thinkers for centuries. While we may never fully comprehend the elusive spark that ignites genius or the intricate interplay of factors that shape intellectual development, our ongoing exploration of this fascinating realm continues to yield valuable insights. By embracing a more nuanced and holistic understanding of intelligence, we can foster a more inclusive and supportive environment where individuals of all abilities can thrive and contribute their unique talents to the world.
