Last Day of School Vibes: Making the Most of a Summer at Home Shaina Tranquilino June 27, 2024

As the school year draws to a close and the halls echo with laughter and nostalgia, there's a distinct energy in the air — the unmistakable vibe of the last day of school. For many, this marks the beginning of a thrilling summer filled with vacations, adventures, and new experiences. But what if your plans don't involve jet-setting to far-off destinations or embarking on elaborate escapades? What if you find yourself spending the summer at home?

Finding Joy in the Ordinary

Not every summer needs to be a whirlwind of exotic travels or elaborate plans. There is a special charm in the simplicity of staying put and embracing what your local area has to offer. Take this time to explore your own neighbourhood or town with fresh eyes. Visit that museum you've always been curious about, try out new restaurants, or spend lazy afternoons in the park. Sometimes, the most memorable experiences are found in the everyday moments close to home.

Cultivating New Interests and Skills

Summer can also be an excellent opportunity to delve into hobbies or skills that you've been meaning to pursue. Whether it's learning to play a musical instrument, mastering a new recipe in the kitchen, or trying your hand at painting, the longer days provide ample time to nurture these interests. You might discover a hidden talent or passion that could enrich your life beyond the summer months.

Volunteering and Giving Back

Consider using your free time to give back to your community. Volunteering not only benefits those in need but also allows you to connect with new people and gain valuable experiences. Whether it's helping out at a local shelter, participating in environmental clean-up efforts, or assisting at community events, contributing your time and skills can be incredibly rewarding.

Setting Personal Goals

Summer break offers a chance for personal growth and reflection. Take some time to set goals for yourself, whether they're academic, personal, or professional. It could be reading a certain number of books, starting a fitness routine, or even planning for the upcoming school year. Setting goals gives you direction and motivation, making your summer feel purposeful and fulfilling.

Connecting with Loved Ones

With the hustle and bustle of school out of the way, summer is the perfect time to reconnect with friends and family. Organize gatherings, host movie nights, or plan outdoor adventures together. Building and nurturing relationships can create lasting memories and strengthen bonds that endure beyond the summer break.

Embracing Self-Care

Above all, remember to take care of yourself. Use this time to unwind, relax, and recharge. Whether it's through meditation, yoga, or simply taking long walks in nature, prioritize activities that rejuvenate your mind and body. A well-spent summer is one where you emerge feeling refreshed and ready to take on new challenges.

While the last day of school may evoke visions of grand adventures and faraway destinations, there is plenty to cherish and explore right where you are. Whether you're spending the summer at home by choice or circumstance, embrace the opportunities it presents. From discovering local gems to pursuing personal passions and fostering connections, your summer can be as enriching and fulfilling as any journey abroad. So, here's to making the most of the last day of school vibes and savouring every moment of the season ahead.

Sunday Salad: “Little by Little” 

You know how we often talk about setting goals to give our lives some direction? 

Well… here's a little twist on that idea: 

"Goals are good for setting a direction, 

but systems are best for making progress."

It made me ponder. 

The places we desire to travel to on a map are like destinations; goals help us get there. 

But it's actually the processes we put in place that move us forward… little by little. 

Those regular practices… reliable routines…

And minor deeds add up to a larger movement… in the direction of our goal.

Imagine that we were to travel by car. 

Yes… having a destination in mind is necessary…

But what truly takes us there are the well-kept car… the fuel… The air in the wheel, the traffic laws we adhere to… and the regular rest stops. 

We develop steadily because 

The entire system is working well.

So… while goals provide the target… systems provide the vehicle to get there. 

It's a shift in perspective… that makes the journey as rewarding as the destination itself.

Anyway… I thought you might find this concept as intriguing as I did. 

It's a reminder to focus on the process… build those effective systems…

Light, Camera & Action:

So, ensure two things….

1. Whether you have a written goals (Clarity about where you want to reach in life/business)

2. System (vehicle) through which you will reach to your goals (destinations) – All small and baby steps (little by little) needed in the journey to reach the goals.

We would rather love and appreciate if you send your feedback to this article to our mail id dipak@signaturreofsuccess.com.

We're observing this apparent holiday a week late, which tracks with our general attitude toward making and keeping New Year's resolutions. Mentioned: Kitty's Morning Glories daily rosary, Artful Agenda, and Dance & Co.

[offshoregenix]

The act of setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible because it provides clarity and direction to our aspirations and desires.

Without clear goals, our dreams and ambitions remain intangible and abstract, and we may struggle to take concrete actions to achieve them.

By setting specific, measurable, and achievable goals, we can define what we want to accomplish and create a roadmap to get there.

Goals help us to focus our attention and energy, prioritize our actions, and make progress towards our objectives.

They also provide a sense of purpose and motivation, as we have a clear target to strive for and can measure our progress along the way.

Updated Feedback for Streets of New Capenna

I think my original feedback to SNC was godawful for a lot of reasons, not to mention that it was ruder than it really should have been, so I am writing this.

I think New Capenna has a lot of potential but the set and the setting didn't get enough time or polish.

Story

The main story felt kind of rough. I'm not sure if there were rewrites or something, but it felt underwhelming in the end. A lot of important/interesting questions (like about Halo's effects/purpose and Elspeth's past) were left unanswered. Also still disappointed we didn't get a Riveteers story.

The confrontation with Ob Nixilis felt like it was way faster than it really should have been. Felt like the only real impact was killing Xander and crashing the Font. Maybe should've been a 2nd set with the resulting takeover (and the Angelic Awakening too).

Also the angel situation should not have had to be explained on Tumblr.

The side stories were mostly just OK. I liked the pigeon one in particular.

Setting

Going to split this into smaller sections

Humanoid Cephalids: This feels like the human sliver situation to me. Having them for more diversity was a good idea, but I feel like more Dominarian designs may have helped there. I also noticed and did not like that basically all the guy cephalids were big blurple bald guys with tentacle staches and the girls were blurple women just with tentacle themed hair.

The City and the Citizens: Stacking 3 cities on top of each other was cool, but I don’t feel like the set gave enough of an idea of what it was like to live in the city. For all the talk of how this is the big mob set, I have a clearer idea of what life was like for Ravnicans under the guilds than I did for Capennans under the families. The same goes for plain old daily life in the planes.

The Family Concepts are Cool, but Feel Underdeveloped:

Despite the lack of interest in the city outside of the families, I didn't really get a good sense for how any of the families worked & the lack of any apparent pre-angel law/order does not help. Staying away from cops and stuff was 100% the right choice, but there needs to be some sort of law or something: even law/criminal investigation controlled by the Brokers/Obscura would be good, as long as there is a real reason the Family's operations and crimes/murders are kept on the down low.

On the note of the law, as I was double checking to see if their were RTR-esque outfit guidelines I missed, I finally noticed Rogue’s Gallery had a Broker’s symbol on the sides of where the photo was being taken. If Brokers and maybe Obscura were supposed to act as the law despite also breaking it for power, that should’ve been made more clear and been more prominent.

Again, like with the unclear Angel situation post-set and having a decent amount of Angels in the set, it feels like either communication broke down and/or like there was a decently-big rewrite and that it was too late to change some things

Brokers:

Didn't feel criminal enough for the most part. The strong-arming and contract forcing implied in the sidestories seemed to be MiA, and what crime there was just seemed to be generic murder (i.e. Lagrella the Magpie)

Did not feel very magical or interested in the elements of their colors (barring the one Vermin guy who contracts with animals). One or both go for most of the other families too.

Obscura:

More of the Obscura’s mystical side could have been nice (sphinxs, seers, spirits, etc.)

How they operated seemed unclear, especially how they controlled information. What they did have just seemed to be surveillance, smuggling for no discernible purpose, and more generic crime like robbing a vault. Felt more like Dimir then a faction with White.

The hologram things suck. I know I'm taking care to not be rude this time, but it feels uninspired and un-fantastical and I feel the need to be blunt on this point.

Hard to tell apart from the Brokers, visually and operationally.

Maestros

Still too similar looking to the other Blue factions, and they maybe could have been more interested in their colors non-mechanically.

The art theme was great, though the hotel/hospitality aspects while interesting could have been explained/pushed more.

Riveteers (Also My Original Comments Were Real Bad On Them in Particular):

First off, shouldn't have complained about the boxing ring aspect, I did not know my history there.

The worker outfits helped make them distinguishable from the other factions, but I lot of what they wore still felt pretty generic

That said, after looking closely at them again, I noticed a bunch of them have a gold, scale-shaped trim or pattern on the insides of their coats. That is neat, but again I literally never noticed until today (April 27 2023). It and whatever other fashion choices were made could’ve been made more clear either in the stories or on the cards.

It still sucks that they didn’t get a story, as it may have helped flesh them out more (and I was personally curious about how the faction worked/used its colors).

Tangent below:

Calling the lack of a story for the union faction sus may have been out of line or excessive, but then again (as I finally got around to  finishing/publishing this after the MAT leak) hiring the goddamn Pinkertons is too!

Like, not relying on trigger happy cops to retrieve stuff seems fine, but WotC/Hasbro REALLY HAD TO GO WITH THE GODDAMN PINKERTONS?!

Alright back to the point of the feedback, sorry for the tangent, but I had to get that out there.

Cabaretti:

The party-goer styling was generally enough to make them distinguishable.

More magical/elemental than some of the others, but still maybe could've been a bit more 'natural' with their parties, techniques, buildings, etc.

Halo being basically potions/energy drinks (even if they were Soylent Green) kind of hurt the flavor of being a party faction.

On that note, the Cabaret faction not having alcohol does feel off, especially in a plane based in the Prohibition era. Maybe its not reasonable due to rating boards, but if there is any faction where it should be pushed, this is probably it.

If nothing else, maybe grapevines and bottles/glasses/imitating customs around alcohol could have helped with the flavor.

Mechanics

All 5 family mechanics were good/fun, and so were the new Hideaway cards.  I really liked the Alliance cards that did different things on their 2nd trigger and Gala Greeters, and Shield Counters were successful as a fixed regenerate IMO. They all did play together quite nicely as well, though as I’m about to get into some stuff sort of overshadowed that.

Limited

WU/WG were overtuned, with Inspiring Overseer being ridiculous. Raffine’s Informant and Jewel Thief was also too damn good, especially compared to cards like Brazen Upstart.

Removal was also bad, and Limited felt like it was too much about 2 color decks hitting 2 drops.  A bit more removal that didn’t care about Shield counters may have been a good idea, and some existing removal needed better efficiency.

GR Treasure also had no good payoffs beyond splashing, Jinnie Fay, and Stimulus Package. UB 5-MV Graves also seemed weak. On that note, putting the Hearse in a set testing 5-MV graveyards seemed excessive.

Having said that, I don’t think any archetype (except maybe GR Treasure?) was unplayable, but the depth of WU/WG seriously warped the experience for the worse.

Misc

Some things probably could have been more fantastical than just ‘Human with weird looking holograms’ or ‘Fantasy race doing completely normal thing/normal crime thing with no interesting changes’

Titan of Industry and All-Seeing Arbiter were cool concepts/designs and great uses of the “modern magic city” setting.  The former does feel more like a Riveteers card conceptually tho, and I do wish the latter had some Ward. Bootlegger’s Stash and Halo Fountain also work well in the same vein.

Giada, Font of Hope is so pushed (and boring) that I don’t think I ever want to play an Angels deck with it. Hope to see her again though, unless she is meant to be gone for good. (I wrote that bit before MOM)

Finger guns were neat, but didn't feel right for the setting without being fleshed out/having reasons and magic techniques tied to them.

Speaking of guns, the violin cases with actual violins in Perrie's story were cool, but stuff like the Arc Spitter felt too Izzet or Kaladesh IMO. (And I was a bit sad too see them return to semi-prominence in MOM)

No matter what anyone says, bug vehicles are cool!

The alt art was outstanding!!! :D All of the artists did a great job!

Wrapping Up

I do worry that blazing through settings like this is going to make finding/creating fan favorites harder. Kaldheim became a favorite due to its concept despite being crunched into 1 set, and Kamigawa was just fantastic and made sense as 1 set, but I worry other planes/settings may not end up getting so lucky.

Overall, the concept and faction ideas are great, but I think a bad story, being poorly fleshed out, OP commons, and being stuck in a single set (rather than 2; 3 would have been way too much) hindered things. I do hope to come back, but with a more fleshed out world.
