It’s safe to say that 2016 was tumultuous, internationally and personally. I want to hope, pray, cross my fingers and wish upon a star for absolutely no more “excitement” in 2017. Then, there’s a part of me that knows all too well that life goes on. Things keep changing, things keep happening, and we keep learning. Every new curveball is trickier…

It’s 1:15 a.m. on a Wednesday. I have a lot ton of work to do and this is what goes through my mind: Should I sort these alphabetically? Or by credit? Alphabetically? By CRN (Course Registration Number)? The chronological order that they are scheduled in? The order I remember them in? Wait, what exactly am I sorting you ask? Oh, just…

On Thursday, Sept. 22, 2016, Florida Tech hosted Prof. John Mather. Prof. Mather, along with George F. Smoot, were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2006, for their work using the COBE satellite to measure the heat radiation from the Big Bang. Needless to say, it was a big deal to have the opportunity to interact with a Nobel…

As I sat working out the derivation of Fermat’s Principle, this scene flashed into my mind: A quiet, tree-lined street, houses lining up one side and parked cars the other. I’m standing around with three-four friends waiting for my dad to come pick me up. M and P had bikes, and I was tempted to ride one around the neighborhood…

00:00 am (Thursday): I’m still up studying optics and I think I’ll make this post an almost live blog. So you’ll get a glimpse of what a day in the life of Sakhee is. Yes, it’ll be more like what Thursday September 8, 2016 was like for Sakhee. I have a good feeling about this. It’s going to be a…

Some of the best advice I have ever received almost always began with, “Now this might be termed ‘bad’ advice, but what I would suggest is…” I was rather skeptical when I heard them, but with time and experience, I found out that they did make sense. So, here’s some anti-advice that some of my friends and I have received and…

A place is only as good as the people in it. I can say I have experienced this to be true. Florida Tech held its first ever Town Hall on March 30. It was intended to provide a platform for students to interact with Dr. T. Dwayne McCay, the next president of Florida Tech, as an opportunity for students to meet McCay, as…

A significant aspect of on campus living is the various programs organized by Residence Life. These programs are excellent opportunities to learn something new while meeting fellow residents and making new friends. Each program has an underlying theme and educational aspect to it but making sure everyone who attends it enjoys it thoroughly is on top of the list while planning…

The College of Science’s February Public Science Lecture was titled “Astronomy and the Human World” and featured a conversation with Michael Schermer. Schermer is the founding publisher of Skeptic magazine and Skeptic.com and the author of books that include “The Moral Arc,” “Skeptic” and “The Believing Brain.” The conversation covered a broad range of subjects from pattern recognition abilities of the human brain to Martian settlements…

The sun rises and the stars vanish. The sky changes hues faster than I can observe them all. For me, the prospect of any form of change is daunting: a new semester; losing something I’ve treasured for long; the end of a story; saying goodbye to someone close to me. The sand continues falling through the hourglass. Change is not easy to deal…
