As the first part of 2021 comes to a wrap, we have decided to compile seven lists of our top threes throughout 2021: two lists from Shreya, two lists from Siona, and three lists from us both! Below are twenty-one items for you to give a try (or read!) in the second half of 2021. Cheers to a fun year ahead!  

Three Combined Lists

Top Three Shreya + Siona Articles:

1. Pie Baking for Pi Day
2. Shreya and Siona’s Holiday Cooking Blog
3. The Science and Math of Love!

Top Three Lessons Learned:

1. Embrace change — you may not always want it, but change leads to growth. 
2. Learn how to pitch well — even if something isn’t great, marketing really makes or breaks everything.
3. Learn how to cook — hopefully, this will help you survive life. (Also, it’s a good skill to have.)

Top Three Best Meals Cooked:

1. Vegan Malai Kofta
2. Heirloom Tomato and Ricotta Tart
3. Mexican Rice! — The recipe doesn’t matter. It’s the taste that does. Really, just any sort of rice.

Siona’s List

And that wraps up the top twenty-one, or seven lists of top threes, by Siona and Shreya. This will also be our last article together (at least, for the Keynote, in the near future), as Siona will be heading out to college (and she’ll be amazing!). We hope you enjoyed our co-authored articles and hearing about random things we love, and thank you so much!
