It sometimes feels like forever since I started to learn how to cook and it has changed my life for the better ever since. My two favourite meals are fajitas and spaghetti bolognese and when I began to learn how to cook I promised myself I would not stop until I could make them. Times have changed and now I can cook and bake and I use nearly everything in my kitchen. It is a great stress reliever and I see it as a form of art. When I started to learn to cook, I primarily used recipes that people gave me. For new meals that I wanted to explore myself I would use the BBC food website. This website contains thousands of recipes done by professional chefs, however they think you have around 4 hours to prepare your meal. No one has this kind of time and I would certainly not use it on a daily activity like dinner. This does not mean you just suddenly give up and resort to ready made meals in the microwave.

I believe we have two people in our heads: the conscious, which acts like a manager, and the subconscious, which acts like a worker. The conscious cannot make a decision without making the subconscious actually implement it. This allows the conscious to see things at a much higher level and so is better equipped to deal with abstract ideas. I also believe the things that make up who we are such as our morality and our spirituality reside in the subconscious although we can only question these beliefs with the help of our conscious.

The subconscious is very powerful force. It is rash, fast and very confident in its actions. The conscious understands that it could be wrong and takes its time in coming to a conclusion. Animals seem to have a fully developed subconscious but lack a powerful consciousness. For me,...

Driving is hands down the most dangerous thing I do on a daily basis. It requires concentration, experience and a good reaction time but even then accidents can happen. Every time I get on the road is a unique experience. I sometimes lose faith in humanity by the randomness and seemingly chaotic nature of others driving but no one is perfect. I believe that every specific situation requires a specific action. It seems like to only way to know the right action is by trying and seeing the result. Your first experience with braking on ice will usually end you up in the ditch but you will learn your lesson. To pass my driving test I followed the rules of the road to the letter but once I had my license, a whole new style of driving appeared. It might have happened because I become lazy or I picked up bad habits. However, I believe it happened because I realized that following the rules of the road does not matter if you get into a crash and die. The rules of the road are not more important...
