A summer course that empowers students to combat brain rot—the numbing, soul‑draining effects of relentless technology use—by harnessing the power of reflective writing as a lifeline through the bumpy terrain of modern life. Guided journaling, peer critique, and evidence‑based frameworks help learners articulate goals, navigate career choices, strengthen relationships, and protect mental well-being, all while cultivating an ongoing practice that sharpens self‑awareness, critical thinking, and resilience. By framing reflective writing as a laboratory for invention—“writing for discovery” that transforms moments of doubt or curiosity into sparks of novelty—students learn to reclaim their cognitive space and infuse everyday challenges with fresh insight and purpose. The curriculum interweaves theory, practice, and interdisciplinary case studies to show how deliberate reflection can counter brain rot, ignite creativity, and lay the groundwork for lasting personal growth.
