A Daily Dose of Lilo

Fall 2023 is coming to an end and I am sad to let this course go. It has been one hell of a journey which included new experiences, skills and friends. For this assignment, I created a CORE 2096 WRAPPED which is a trendy recap style initially created by Spotify. I decided to do a…

Dear future students of CORE 2096, I hope you are all doing well and I hope you are excited for your semester with Dr Maha. I know you might not know that you are taking this course right now, but trust me you won’t regret it. The course is quite the learning curve as it…

Hey everyone, it’s been a while ever since I wrote on here. Let’s just say I have been procrastinating to the max, but today I felt like it’s about time I explore the Digital Literacies Pathway assignment. Step 1: I found this test very interesting to fill in but now looking at my results, I…

After spending a month’s worth of Thursdays on zoom for the Soliya Connect Express program, I learnt a lot yet wished to have experienced more.

Going into the VIA survey, I didn’t really have any expectations because I wasn’t fully sure what “top character strength” meant. I took my time to fill out the survey and my results were as follows. After reading through my top 5 strengths, I can say that they are all true to some extent. It’s…

October 31st marked my second visit to Ramy Helal. In all honesty, I was not excited or mentally prepared. It’s currently midterms season, which means I have massive sleep debt and little to no energy. I genuinely thought I wouldn’t be able to go, but I didn’t know what Youssef and Ali would do without…

My responses in the form of rough notes: 1. What have you learned intellectually about the topics we’ve covered so far? What questions do you still have about these topics, and how might you use your Soliya experience to enrich your knowledge? 2. What have you learned about yourself and the way you view the…
