I always find that long train rides are the opportune moment to refresh the brain and lock in. Think, you're sitting there with nothing else to do but work while also having momentary breaks to enjoy the scenery. If I can't bring my laptop, I use train journeys as a way to clear my camera roll and de-clutter my phone. Don't knock it til you try it

i often take the train to work and forget how convenient it can be. you can listen to your music and do all the silly things in the meantime.

something about taking the amtrak is so nice. like I get to just zone out and listen to my music for three hours? great! the wifi is so terrible that it kind of forces me to be present. live. love. laugh. amtrak.

I throughly enjoy visiting quant little bakeries wherever I go because there's undoubtedly always some goodies there. I'm talking straight gas that makes you wiggle your fingers and say "don't mind if I do" An added bonus is the more intimate setting since most of these places are pretty small so you can have a great chat with the owner and learn more about the pastries you're about to inhale. Shout out to the chill Korean dudes at CookieBoy in Dublin, they been around for a year and yall gotta make sure they stay open. Don't knock it til you try it

I mean why not just throw all the songs you like into one pot because who's got time to curate their playlists right? Although, it can be a double-edged sword since you might have 'those' select few songs that are just not bops anymore but you can't bring yourself to get rid of em. All in all, I think cultivating a melting pot of tunes is pretty rad and is truly a window to the disorganised soul. Don't knock it until you try it

We all know the classic rum and coke, but the casual choice of this mixer is ill-informed. Pepsi is the far superior choice as the natural caramel flavours coalesce with the equally as powerful notes of caramel found within black spiced rums to create a sweetly smooth flavour profile. Sure coke has a somewhat similar profile but it pails in comparison to the true king of sodas. Pepsi truly is the taste of a new generation. Don't knock it til you've tried it
