@TheRetroDevs Hi! I'm working on a video about retro tech and would love your help with a small part of the project. Is there a way I can contact you?

if you’re avoiding something now, envision the satisfaction you’ll feel when you’re done

and then try to envision the sheer bliss you’ll feel if you finish earlier than expected

I often use this mental exercise to keep me going on even the most mundane tasks

[Gohar Khan @goharsguide]

people often ask me what they can do to improve their college apps

here’s a fun one: vibe code

pull up your favorite LLM and challenge yourself to build ANYTHING—a simple web app, a blog, heck, even a game—and see where that project takes you

even if it goes nowhere, understanding how to use these tools to bring your imagination to life is a skill I think EVERY young person needs to hone

➡️ HUMANITIES CLASSES

And finally, here are the soundtracks that make me feel like an esteemed playwright.

- Succession: Greatest show of all time. I’d only play this while working on an easier assignment because otherwise it can get distracting.

- The Queen's Gambit: Filled with calming classical tunes to help you focus. Makes me feel like a scholar.

- Downton Abbey: Slightly more intense classical tunes. Haven’t listened to this often, but it’s slowly entering the rotation.

Had such a lovely time at President Biden's Holiday Reception! 🎄

Grateful that I got to bring along my mother, whose support has been invaluable since starting Gohar's Guide. (She's literally the OG guide.)

A wonderful way to end off the year and meet friends new and old. Beyond thankful for the White House's endless support in uplifting and amplifying creator voices.

time and time again, I hear students complain that their schools fail to teach basic personal finance concepts:
taxes, credit cards, investing, etc.

did you learn about these concepts in school? if not, what resources did you turn to?
