Acknowledging your privilege

Gaby Grzywacz

I haven't posted on this blog in over a year. In short, it's not necessarily been the best year of my life. But this post has been poking its way out of my brain for the past few weeks. The topic made me think of what I actually want to do in life. Am I… Continue reading Acknowledging your privilege

Same look, new life. The Arguably Honest relaunch.

Gaby Grzywacz

Arguably Honest came to life a little over a year ago. A year and a month to be (almost) exact. I was in the middle of the (very entertaining) revision for my Financial Mathematics and Business Statistics module, and looking for a way to procrastinate. As you do. I felt that I desperately needed (I tend… Continue reading Same look, new life. The Arguably Honest relaunch.

But I abandoned it as quickly as I came up with it, as I realised that writing about my great love for Google Maps would bore me to death, as well as put you to sleep halfway through the… Continue reading What’s on my phone – apps that make life easier, happier or better

New Year, Old Me.

Gaby Grzywacz

The 2016 summaries have been popping up on various blogs over the past fortnight or so, but I didn't want to sum up the year before it actually finished. As Polish people say, Don't praise the day before sunset. This means I'm a bit late to the New Year party. Who cares. 2016 was a truly crappy… Continue reading New Year, Old Me.
