The Marvels (2023) Review

Like a lot of recently released superhero movies (GOTG Vol 3, The Flash, Blue Beetle), I did not go into watching The Marvels with any expectation. Didn’t even watch the trailer actually! Cause I just wanted a chill night away from all the stress – some popcorn, a cup of coke and me in a sparsely populated theater (I go to the movies on Tuesdays and live in – kind of – a small town).

So there I was today, packing up for a relatively warm mid-November movie time at 5pm. Got on the bus hoping for just a good time, waited till all the ads are over on the big screen, and finally put on my 3D glasses to watch The Marvels.

And boy, did that ticket pay off 😀

Why I Loved Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3

Honestly, I just went to watch the movie in theaters because I had a bad day and wanted to reset my mood. I just booked the ticket online randomly while going home on the bus. But oh boy, am I GLAD.

Why you ask? Lemme break it down in DETAIL 😀

Rants of a Broke International Student

Is your life today what you pictured a year ago?

I wish I could say “yes”!

A year ago, in December 2021, I was feeling excited af about the new year, while working with several clients on UpWork, planning my brother’s birthday (due in a week), and arranging documents for applying to universities abroad!

And now, a year later, I am significantly more miserable.

2022 Recap: The Comeback of Opera Gloves

In the last decade or two, gloves have been usually worn only for utilities and comfort. However, the 2020s are changing that and bringing back dramatic gloves into the trend. These particular accessories called opera gloves remind us of the elegant 60s when average women and Hollywood stars alike would adorn themselves with these statement pieces.

Blame it on viral shows like Bridgerton or high fashion brands, the opera gloves are being seen everywhere – from celebrities attending the red carpet to teenagers busting their moves on TikTok.

The SOP That Got Me A Canadian Student Visa Within Two Months

By the Mercy of the Almighty, I have earned the privilege of pursuing a Master’s Degree at Lakehead University in the province of Ontario, Canada. While this 8-month-long process consisted of many steps, one of the most important parts has always been the Study Plan included in the applicant’s Student Visa application. I submitted my Visa application on June 7th and fortunately got the approval on August 1st.

Since a considerable number of people have asked me to share my Study Plan or SOP with them, I’m providing it below for everyone to go through.

Best of luck to all new applicants!
