Books 📚
This week I picked up a non-fiction book called Manifest- dive deeper. I haven't actually finished/reviewed it because I haven't been picking it up as much as my neices and nephew have stayed over and I couldn't pick it up as muvh. I will let you know how I found it in next week's issue so be sure to look out for that. Let me know what you have picked up this week (any excuse to listen/read about what people are reading)
Opinion piece📰
Ever since I watched the MH370 doc on Netflix I have been obsessed with it. The theories, the fact that it still hasn't been found. The people on board, the stories. It is fascinating as it is tragic. This week there was talk of Barnacles. Now is this planted or a conspiracy... who knows but it was a very interesting read.

Let me know what conspiracies finds you in a rabbit hole and why?
I think everyone heard about the children and adults stuck in the Cable Cars in Pakistan. Aside from everything else I think the biggest thing that stuck with me is the lengths people go to to get to school. They take that path everyday. It really hits hard and how we really should be greatful for everything we have.

Loved this video so real and so true. Everyone should watch
I loved reading this article on writing under Iranian censorship. A delicate subject but one that needs to be discussed.

💭 My 3 am thoughts 🕒
Researching for Post-grad and the statistics for getting into Ivy League or Brick uni's are shocking. Admissions are 5-10%.
