Cedar's Sphere

And it is a new month! Didn't we just wish family and friends a Happy New Year some weeks back? We sure did! To be honest, it still feels like yesterday. We even set goals for the year and how we would achieve them. And now, it's the 4th month in the year 2025. Everything's happening so fast, right? But do you know one thing that can happen on the 31st of December, 2025? It's you taking a look at your goals and having all of them ticked good because you went ahead to smash them. Whether you feel like you're already slacking as regards your goals for the year or you're on the right track, my word for you is to keep going. You can and will definitely get there. Happy New Month from Creative Cedar..✍️

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you don't know how to go about a task— what to write, design, draw, etc? I'm sure you have! It's quite common for every creative. Sometimes, I find myself in that ditch and I'm left to wonder if I am beginning to lose my creative flair. It happened a few weeks back when I wanted to pen down a creative write-up on a certain subject and I didn't even know how to go about it. I felt weak and inept.  After a long period of brooding and exhaustion, I just had to brace myself and open my writing software to begin writing. To my surprise, the ideas came flowing like a river. When I was done, I read my piece and was wowed, convinced that nothing had happened to my creative flair. It was still intact.😃 You don't need to have it all figured out to start. Break down ideas into small pieces and work towards expanding them. It sure works like magic. When you do so, that Herculean task will be ticked off your list. Creative C...

I think success is overrated! Why stress yourself over lectures, assignments, stifling deadlines and personal growth when you can just enjoy campus life to the fullest, without worrying about the future? If your goal is to graduate with regrets, wasted opportunities, and no sense of direction, follow these 6 foolproof steps to failure. Trust me, they work like magic! Procrastinate Like a Pro There's no rush in life. I don't even see the need of starting early to work on assignments, and projects or even prepare for tests and examinations. That frenzy that comes with waiting for the last minute and running after lecturers or course reps to submit assignments and project works cannot be likened to another. So, don't worry or get yourself worked up over deadlines. You've got to take things slowly and at your pace. Who likes stress by the way? Avoid Attending Lectures   You can agree with me that lectures are extremely boring. Having to sit or even stand (as the case may be...

We live in a world where constantly scrolling through social media has become the order of the day. It is now a huge part of our lives that we can't but always scroll, double tap, send a reply, or swipe up to comment. In Mass Communication, there's a theory called The Cultivation Theory , proposed by George Gerbner. It suggests that the more people consume media, the more their perception of reality starts to align with the world portrayed on screen. It’s like a slow and steady process of shaping how we see things. If someone watches a lot of violent content, they might start believing the world is more dangerous than it is. On the other hand, if someone binge-watches romantic movies, they might develop unrealistic expectations about love and relationships. At dinner tables, classrooms, meetings, timeout with family/friends, and other social gatherings, we keep checking our phones for the latest gist, notifications and all, that we slowly begin to drift from what...
