The Curtain Falls

A 24” to remember.

Another December is upon us, and I must say, I've missed the ambience that surrounds the month. JYSK, December is my favorite month of the year and I've always looked forward to it. Anyways, how have you been my friend? Has the harmattan caught up to you too?

While I was scrolling endlessly on my phone on the eve before December, I came across this tweet. Back story yeah?

My mood wasn't the best that night so I decided to take a break and scroll endlessly on X. Long story short, I saw the tweet and it didn't just change my mood, it allowed me to have a clearer mind to finish my tasks for the day. Maybe it was the nostalgic feeling of eating my mother's fried rice, or it was the cold warmth of harmattan. I really do not know. But my point here is to show you how being happy even about the littlest things can do a lot of good for you. And now I ask this question; were you truly happy, even about the littlest things that happened to you this year? Did you celebrate your small wins? If you didn't, this is your cue to do so. I mean, the year isn't over yet and there's still so much you can do and celebrate about! And if you've been celebrating your wins, no matter how small they may seem, big ups to you fr! Remember, a win is a win regardless of how “celebration worthy” it seems to you💙.

Speaking of wins…IEEE Unilag SB has one to share!

(**coughs three times**)

With the power vested in me, I proudly share that our very own IEEE Student Members, Jinadu Temitope and Adeyemo Ridwan have won the challenge finals for the IEEE Region 8 Climate Challenges Finals in Italy!!!!!

After a rigorous application and video submission stage, these talented individuals went on to present their team’s exceptional work on the global stage in Italy, and they won!🔥

I'm honoured to bring this news to you, and I hope that you'll be inspired to go out there and become the best version of yourself, while making a positive impact on the world.
