I actually loved tennis and piano lessons growing up. What's weird is that growing up my parents would put me and my sister in things, like gymnastics, ballet, and tennis lessons , but would NEVER keep us in there. When it was time to resign us back up, they would never do it. So now that I am older, I want to get back into the sports I use to love but couldn't fully commit to.
I also use to be huge on video games. Me and my younger sister had an xbox, and some of my funnest memories were staying up until 3 or 4 in the morning playing together. It also made me dream of having a video game collection. When our Xbox broke we never got a new one which was sad since me and my sister really bonded over playing together. Anyways eventually I would like to get a Xbox and Playstation and play some of my childhood games and create the video game collection I always dreamed of.
I want to become more comfortable speaking up for myself, having audacity, and just embrace the close mouth don't get fed mentality.
Three areas of my life that I need to speak up more, is school, friends, and to be honest just in general.
My fear of being perceived as a bitch is holding me back and making me not speak up and express my mind.
I also hate confrontation which is also why it's hard for me to speak up when something goes wrong.
I will say this, my dad is a very confrontational person. It's to the point that I don't even like going to places with him because I fear he is going to cause a scene. I know I just said that I wanted to have more audacity, but he takes it too far. He's literally a male Karen (still love him). I guess its about finding that balance and becoming assertive not aggressive because as another saying goes, you get further with honey than vinegar.
One of the reasons I love fall, is because everything slows down a bit and feels just a little more calmer. I did not do much over the summer but it was still so hectic because of all the DRAMA happening in my life. Going away to university, being alone, and finally being able to truly sit back and relax while establishing a routine.... Chefs kiss!!
I was going to have a cinnamon roll to celebrate the beginning of fall season but I had way too much sugar this weekend so I decided to just get one next week.
And of course I made a fall bucket list. I made two actually, one for this year, and one for in general. I love making bucket lists for some reason. I hope to mark off most of it and I am excited to check things off every week.
YEESSSSSSSS
me dreaming about the scenarios that WILL happen because it is divinely aligned for it to. my reality is simply a projection of my consciousness. everything is already working out the way it is supposed to. blessings otw.
Back to school season means shaping your fyp to contain tons and tons of study and school content.
#gotmyperiodandmissedit
I try pilates for the first time next week and I'm so excited.
no one can tell if your lipstick is Chanel or Tom Ford, no one can tell what brand foundation you’re wearing, no one can tell what qualify your eyelashes are.
but they can tell if you’re out of shape, unfit and unhealthy. they can see the quality of your skin, the thickness of your hair. how your body jiggles with each step and isn’t toned.
work on your base, then decorate yourself 🤍
Academic Goals
-graduate top of my class
-graduate with at least a 3.7 gpa
-get my first job (don't care if its working in the library or whatever, just want to get my first job ever before graduating college)
-doing more of what I love and finding new hobbies
-intern at a hospital
-NETWORK!! (make more friends in general/I have some but honestly I need more variety)
-try all the local restaurants/clubs
-study abroad
-make contacts with professionals in my desired industry
-connect more with professors (struggling at this right now)
-join clubs
-date more
Basically I expect myself to graduate at the top of my class, secure a job at some of the top hospitals in the US (shoot for the stars, why not the world) , and become healthier, hotter, and smarter, while working hard until I establish myself and eventually settle down and have kids.
Sounds a little bit delusional, but hey if I do not succeed, at least I tried
Why do you always say that girls with less education can't make it into the most exclusive circles? I'm sure that at least a few women with no college education have married really rich or married up into royalty.
Here are six examples.
Emma Weymouth was head girl at her private school, graduated with honours, went on to University College London and got a degree in Art History, went on to study Art History, and was raised by a Nigerian billionaire and English socialite, is an heir to her father's estate and will be worth billions when he passes, and had a career in modelling far before she married and became the Marchioness of Bath.
Meghan Markle attended private school, graduated with honours, got accepted to Northwestern, joined Kappa Kappa Gamma, worked for the State Department, interned at the American Embassy in Buenos Aires, and graduated with a B.A. after having double majored in International Studies and Theatre.
Duchess Kate has a B.A. in Art History, she worked as an accessory buyer, she graduated with honours and was involved in a wide variety of activities and did a number of summer jobs, she fundraised for UNICEF, and she took a gap year to go on a study abroad trip. She had a career before, during, and after she met Prince William and married into the BRF. This is an absolutely indisputable fact.
Mary of Denmark graduated with a Bachelors of Commerce and a Bachelors of Laws and went on to complete a graduate program. She attended the University of Tasmania and had a successful career long before she married into the Danish Royal Family and had solid plans. She had an accomplished life.
Queen Rania has a degree from the American University in Cairo in Business Administration and worked for both Citibank and Apple before she married into the Jordanian Royal Family. She now advocates for causes like education, health, community empowerment, youth, cross-cultural dialogue and micro-finance. She was accomplished.
Queen Letizia of Spain has a B.A. in Journalism, an M.A. in Audiovisual Journalism, and partially completed her PhD. She worked for various news outlets and was extremely successful, she worked for CNN+, she broadcast from Ground Zero after 9/11, she did journalism from war zones, and she was absolutely beyond accomplished in her own right before she married into the Spanish Royal Family.
See what I'm getting at?
Flat out, It's not possible to marry an extremely wealthy and extremely high class man without higher education. It just doesn't work like that. This isn't even my opinion, this is pure knowledge. I know a Prince of the Emirates extremely well, almost in the biblical sense, he roomed at Eton with my older brother who's Saudi and one of the legitimised Grandsons of Ibn Saud. Anyway, the number one thing he always looked for in a woman was her education because he couldn't bring a woman home who didn't have an educational background. It just wasn't done, she needed to have something going on for her upstairs for her to be able to succeed in life.
It's completely delusional to assume that any man who's in certain circles or knows certain people would want to date or be able to date a woman who has no formal higher education. I mean this in the most brutal way possible, you can't be fucking stupid. Someone needed to tell you. There's a reason why all of the European sugar babies and trophy wives have degrees from like...Saint Petersburg State University and the University of Montenegro at Kotor Bay, it's because they know the facts and they want to better themselves educationally. There's nothing worse than not being able to have an educated conversation with someone because you're in different places in your journey towards education.
Hope you understand.

This month I am trying to be the most healthiest and most productive version of myself. I have a lot of things I want to achieve in life, but because of my location and where I am in life (a freshman student at a big university, but the location is very much rural), my have goals shifted to building discipline while also learning more about enjoying time by myself and getting more comfortable being alone. (I went to the football game by myself, and when I told my family they were kind of like why, don't you have any friends).
My first day of university starts tomorrow and I STILL DO NOT KNOW WHERE MY CLASSES ARE. I am going to loose it. :(
Travel Bucket Lists
One of my favorite things to do in my free time is watch vlogs of pretty girls traveling to pretty places. I have so many videos and photos saved on my phone of exotic areas, and I made a HUGE list of places I want to visit. I have already visited the Dominican Republic, Barcelona, Madrid, and Cordoba in Spain and plan to check off all of the places on my bucket list.
Here at just a few places on my list:
Santorini
Maldives
Egypt
Jordan
Saudi Arabia
Kenya
Capetown
Bali
Thailand
St Lucia
Fiji
Japan
Bahamas
I have so much more ( I left out all the places I want to visit in the states), but I truly believe that life is meant for traveling the world and enjoying exotic locations and experiences. I can not wait to start scratching these places off. ;)
I tried finding my classes on campus and it was a FAIL. Well not an absolute fail. I did not find any of my classes but I did find the student union which is good because that is where everyone seems to meet up. I also somewhat found where the rec is, which is also good because that is where all of my free pilates, barre, and cycle classes are at. I even found this acai bowl place and it is SOO GOOD.
There are so many nice cars here, which I hate since I don't have one lol. I won't get one until next year so I am stuck taking the bus. At least the buses here are free and when you have no where to go, it is nice to just sit back and ride.
I also felt a little overdressed walking around campus even though all I had on was jeans and a white shirt. Everyone here wears athleisure clothes. Like they just got done with a workout but didn't sweat at all. And when I say everyone, I mean everyone. I think I was the only person who was wearing jeans. This doesn't mean that I am going to stop wearing jeans, because I am a jeans girl but I was just a little shock. I guess because where I am from MOST people wore jeans and now here it's just like...... I still like their style though. It is cute and preppy but obviously more laid back.
