How My Graduation Ceremony Went

Image
Today, I had my high school graduation ceremony. It took place at a building belonging to my city's university. After dressing in a suit and tie, my family and I drove to the site. I went to some big gym room, and they went to an auditorium. In the gym, I put on my gown and cap, and stood in lines organising people alphabetically through their surnames. Soon, we went out into the auditorium. We graduates sat in rows of chairs front of the stage, my high school's staff sat in rows behind ours, and all the guests sat in the auditorium chairs, which were on the sides of the room aside from the side with the stage. We sat through things like the national anthem, the land acknowledgement, and awards/scholarships being handed out. After that, graduates such as myself began being called up to receive our diplomas. After a couple of speeches from important individuals, we finally concluded the graduation and went out. I took various photos with my family in which I held a bouquet of fl...

How My Senior Prom Went

Image
On Friday, May 22, 2026, I had my high school senior promenade dance. It lasted from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM and took place at a high-end Italian cultural association centre. After my father dropped me off at the place from his car, I went up to the room my school was having their prom in, checked in with my ticket, and sat at my reserved table, which a couple of my friends were at. Every boy, including myself, was wearing suits and ties, and every girl was wearing dresses. A lot of my friends had dates for the night, but I did not have one for myself. Dinner started at about 7:00 PM. First, we were given a bread basket. I ate two loaves of bread, as I was quite hungry. Next, penne pasta was served. I took two medium-sized helpings of the pasta. After that, salad consisting of lettuce, vinegar, grape tomatoes, and cucumbers was served. I enjoyed the vinegary taste of the lettuce. Then, we were served steamed carrot slices, broccoli, and cauliflower, which I loved due to my fondness for suc...

My New Quest to Study Every Religion and Philosophy

Image
I am beginning a quest to research every religious and philosophical tradition in-depth. Recommend me anything to study. I have not figured out how I will go about studying philosophies, but this is the planned path for how I will go about studying religions: Sunni Islam, my own religion. Other sects of Islam. Judaism and Christianity. Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Shinto, Sikhism, and Confucianism. Zoroastrianism, Jainism, and other religions.

Ramadan Mubarak! My Ramadan Resolutions

Image
Ramadan Mubarak to those reading this blog. I intended to put out my resolutions for having a productive Ramadan earlier before the Hijri month of Ramadan started a couple of days ago, but I was lazy, so I will put them out now. Complete my fast successfully everyday. Every day of Ramadan, from sunrise to sunset, I must fast, which means abstaining from eating food, drinking beverages, partaking in sexual intercourse, and partaking in sinful behaviour. I do this every Ramadan successfully, but regardless, I will still put it here. Praying as many of my daily prayers ( Salaat ) on time as possible. Unfortunately, due to school, I oftentimes miss some and have to recover them. Praying Tahajjud often. Tahajjud is a voluntary set of prayers consisting of at least two Rakat (unit of measurement for parts of a Salaat prayer) done late at night when most are asleep. It happens after Isha (the fifth and final Salaat prayer of the day) and before Fajr (the first Salaat prayer of the day...

My New Year's Resolutions for 2026

Image
  1. Memorise more Quran. 2. Generally gain more wisdom on Islam and other fields to the point I may help others seek knowledge, too. 3. Start putting out my own writing and MAYBE music. 4. Play more games. 5. Discover more music. 6. Make/keep friends I will not regret keeping around. 7. Learn important skills. 8. Get accepted into university (I graduate high school in 2026). 9. Manage my anger better. 10. Become better at coding and developing a game. 11. Make my prom/graduation celebration thingy/whatever not suck. I also wish for the people of Palestine, Sudan, and other oppressed areas to find victory in their struggles, although that is not really a resolution as I cannot personally make this happen. May God give me and the reader the new year we need. Ameen.
