Activities to Do to Improve Quality of Life

10 November 202030 October 2020 Bradley H. Poor

If there is one thing we want to champion to all of our readers, then that is to live a better and more positive lifestyle through reading our literary publications. But there is more to this world than just reading poems and short stories. So, here are some activities guaranteed to improve your quality of life.

Literary Writing

If you are familiar with our work and some student-run journals we feature, then you are aware of how engaging and inspiring literary pieces are. So, rather than just reading what other people wrote, why not write something yourself for others to read.

Literary writing is one of the most freeing activities you can do because you get to further interpret and understand your ideas and thoughts. You can do this activity for many reasons. You can write to relax your mind. You can write to share your ideas. You can write to inspire.

Literary writing is not just subjective nowadays. Believe it or not, many poets and short story writers make use of academic and even scientific proven facts to convey their messages.

Playing Online Slots

Online gambling is a bit of a stretch so we would like to narrow it down to online slot machines. Have you ever played slots before?

There are tens of thousands of online slots out there you can play right now using your laptop or smartphone. Wherever you are, as long as you have an internet connection and a mobile device, you can play all the online slots you want.

The great thing about this is you can win money without spending a lot of money.

Think about it, if you were to go to a nearby casino, you’ll have to worry about transportation, dressing up, and other things that would cost you money. Try Playamo for example.

You don’t have to spend any money at first because upon signing up, you’ll get a bonus of virtual chips you can use to complete a couple of slot machine spins. Try reading a Playamo casino review from other people to find out more.

Forget about the literary journals, only for now and go do something new for you.

Looking for amazing literary pieces? Here are 3 undergraduate literary journals for you to follow.

Ploughshares

Managed and operated by the brilliant students of Emerson College in Boston Massachusetts. Ploughshares is more than just a literary journal. It welcomes different types of writings including novels, research papers, and white papers. Ploughshares is filled with amazing ideas for different field of studies and expertise.

Yale Literary Magazine

The Yale Literary Magazine has been around since 1836 and has produced hundreds of literary pieces including poems, short stories, and even art pieces. Yale Literary Magazine is made up of the brilliant ideas of students from Yale University, a prestigious Ivy school in the United States.

Some of our favourite poems from the magazine include “Jerusalem” by Daniel Dov Yadin, “Tell the Moon” by Shon Arieh-Lerer, “Water Lily” by Jake Orbinson, and “Icarus” by Christine Kwon.

The poems in this magazine speak to deeper levels of human psychology and creativity. Many poems published decades ago remain relevant to our times today.

The Westminster Review

The Westminster Review is not officially housed in a particular university as it is one of the oldest British publications still active today. It was founded back in 1823 by English Philosopher Jeremy Bentham and historian James Mill.

Initially, it was a journal for Philosophical Radicals, mostly young students and experts back then. Unfortunately, this journal is no longer active as its final issue was way back in 1914.

However, millions of people, mostly students from the UK reference the many published works in the past. Many emerging writers nowadays are familiar with at least one of these journals.

So, if you are an aspiring writer, we recommend you check these journals and other magazines we recommended in our previous blogs.

One of the characters, Gabriel is also dealing with some abandonment issues caused by his father. This makes it difficult for him to be a good and loving partner.

The book at first look might not be as ground-breaking but the way Suresh tied everything together is very immersive and profound.

Right now, there is no information if Suresh is working on another book as she is busy working at a designated coronavirus evaluation centre in Montreal.

Ben Philippe

Philippe was raised in Montreal and is now a writer based in New York. For him to make a name for himself not only in his hometown but in one of the biggest cities in the world is truly something.

His debut novel “The Field Guide to the North American Teenager” has been sold many times. It is about a wisecracking black French-Canadian teenager that goes by the name Norris who moves to Austin, Texas.

One of the most common questions people who are about to read the novel is if it is about Philippe’s life? Well, we can’t spill the beans so looks like you’re going to have to read the book and find out yourself.

Both of these writers are inspired by many of the famous Montreal writers that came before them. We are truly excited to read their future publications and so much more.
