There was some good yesterday, and definitely some bad. One of my favorite supervisors said he's quitting at the end of this semester (3 days), and I'm so sad because he was genuinely good at his job but I understand that his bosses weren't the best and the management at our job is overall crappy most times. But hopefully, my other favorite supervisor doesn't quit tho i know she feels the same, too. There's a reason I'm getting a 2nd job right now.

💕 Song of The Day: MARINA - Are You Satisfied

this song and Oh No are my aesthetic during the semester. and just in general. love this song <3

Well, I'm two days *late* but it's the beginning of a new month and I figured, why not set a couple of goals for this month? My spring semester ends next Friday, the 10th, so I want to have some things to focus on for this month before I travel to Colorado in June for work <3

prepare for my work trip (suitcase, plane ticket, buy my necessities, etc)

start modifying my current food intake (I don't like the word diet) due to a new health issue I discovered with my doctor

💕 Song of The Day

Hozier - Too Sweet

This songs vibe seems fitting for me right now.

Daily Check-in: April 9, 2024 🎀

Tuesday was an odd day for me. Everything went fine, work went well, but for some reason by the end of the day, I was super upset about things, which was not what I had hoped to feel by the end of the day. But the day itself wasn't bad.

listened to two podcast episodes in Spanish for passive input

typed up a detailed goals sheet

attended both classes for the day

didn't get home until late cause work took forever

got weirdly emotional before falling asleep

super short zoom call with my boyfriend

did not study Spanish the way I wanted

was super tired all day

drank a coffee from a coffee shop on campus, and it messed up my stomach absolutely terribly (I need to stop buying coffee, my stomach can only handle the simple ones I make at home)

a co-worker was talking trash for no reason and was being super fake to my face, which was not fun because I thought him and I were cool with each other

🩷 Stuff To Do Tomorrow:

write psyc notes from lecture

study chemistry some more

decide final decision on declaring a 2nd major

double check my class schedule for next semester ( I register for classes tomorrow!!)

study my Spanish tasks that I didn't do Tuesday

keep boosting my depop shop (woke up to my first sold item this morning!)

cook dinner after lab

yeah, there's probably more that happened on Tuesday. Both good and bad, but I have no idea what it would be. I was so tired when I got home that I just forgot everything. I've got some weird memory issues. here's to tomorrow being better, hopefully!

Daily Check-in: April 3rd, 2024 🎀

Today was a weird day. My anxiety was off the walls, and I think it's because that time of the month decided to occur, which is throwing me way off. Birth control has made that not happen for 2 years so, I was definitely caught off guard. (omg I hope that's not tmi, it's just something I gotta deal with again as a woman)

Reviewed Spanish Busuu Chapters 6 and 7

Reviewed all flashcards once fully through

my boyfriend was supportive of my 2nd major stuff

met a super cute blue heeler puppy that was so cute and friendly, tho she did cut my thumb slightly but it's okay cause she's just a puppy

got 7k steps in today

🩷 What Could've Been Better:

could've managed my anxiety a bit better

could've been more productive instead of doing my "productive procrastination"

need to stop trying to do academic things while sitting in bed

need to stop trying to stay awake when I randomly wake up at 4am

need to drink more water, for sure

need to work on better nutrition

Today was a weird day. But that's okay. Weird days do happen. I know now what made it weird, and I'll adapt.

Daily Check-in: April 2nd, 2024 🎀

Hello lovelies!

I am back with my daily check-ins, so i thought I'd start with April 2nd (even tho I know today is currently April 3rd)! I look forward to regularly posting again!

Tuesday was a rough day for me near the end of the day. I pretty much had an emotional stress-induced breakdown in front of my manager and director, but they were very kind and understanding, and I called my dad, who also was awesome, and helped calm me down. It's sage to say that a packed schedule and lack of sleep definitely don't mix well together!

🩷 What I Accomplished Today:

made some actionable steps for improving my health (sleep, nutrition, and fitness areas)

completed Chapter 9 of Spanish Busuu + made flashcards for it

attended my psyc class

completed the assignment for my Friday restaurant class

completed the take home questions for a quiz for psyc

Sent my academic advisor a filled out roadmap

🩷 Good Things That Happened:

one of my accountability buddies sent me a pdf of a Spanish textbook that I was able to download to my goodnotes, which is exciting!

I tried a restaurant on campus that I had never had before, and it was absolutely so delicious

my coworker is going to cover my shift on Friday evening, so I'll have time to relax/catch up on things

Got good advice from my supervisor about life stuff

💕 What Could've Been Better:

I need to reevaluate who I call my "friends" at work after a couple of interactions I've had with people I had considered my friends

Learned that over crowding my plate when already not sleeping well is not a good life combination and will send me to burnout a lot faster

On that same note, I do feel like I still need to learn to manage my time effectively. It's a hard skill to master but I did it before

my professor for psyc was 15 minutes late to class and then proceeded to continue lecturing 5+ minutes after. I felt bad leaving but I had a study room to go to

So that was my April 2nd! Today, I also have a busy schedule. I have an early morning in person meeting with an advisor for Finance majors (I may be adding a finance 2nd major....stay tuned), and then less then 2 hours later i have a meeting with my advisor for my current major. I know she's not going to be happy about me adding a 2nd major but ehh, if it'll benefit my future, then I want to do it.

I've had to tweak the routine this week, but I think I've got it down! I wake up between 5am and 6am, typically closer to 6am, but it depends on the days because Fridays, Saturdays, and some Sundays I have to leave my house by 7/7:30am. I typically have 2 hours for this routine which is perfect for me!

Current Morning Routine 💗

Wake up between 5am and 6am

Drink water, use the bathroom

Make my bed

Do a quick Yoga with Adriene morning yoga workout, then put yoga mat away

Write in my guided journal

Complete a morning journal prompt of choice in my other journal

Make an Iced Coffee (medium roast Coffee k cup , one sweet n low packet, splash of French vanilla creamer)

Read 1 Chapter OR 15/20 minutes (typically self help book but honestly any book is fine for me!)

Plan out some things for the day (planner, Google Calendar, brain dump list, review todo lists for day)

Shower/Wash face (depends on if I showered night before)

Do my morning skincare! (vitamin c serum, moisturizer, sunscreen, lip balm)

Get dressed for the day (either work clothes or normal outfit depending on what i have to do)

Pack my bag(s) for the day (again, depends on the class, and if I have work then I may take a 2nd bag)

Head out (if necessary, which it typically is, except for most Sundays!)

And that's my morning routine! I love it so much, it's been so nice waking up at a set time every day and has been forcing me to be more mindful of when I go to sleep and how much caffiene I am consuming. It's so nice to have a morning routine, and I am currently working on implementing a night routinebecause I thrive with routines!

Accountability Buddy Search!

I am currently on the search for an accountability buddy! Someone I can use to keep me on track with my academic goals, life admin goals, language study goals, and whatever specific things I'd want to accomplish! I also would love to help someone else stay accountable with their academic/language/life admin goals!

editing to add: I AM LOOKING FOR AN ACCOUNTAVILITY BUDDY AGAIN! Communication via discord and I will be updating my goals!

Here are some of my goals:

regularly studying spanish/Japanese

sticking to my routines consistently

maintaining a healthy, productive balance in life

regularly meeting my personal goals (reading, joirnaling, working out, etc)

Here are some things about me:

I am a 22 year old female

I am a senior n university, but 3rd year of studying my major

My major is Human Nutrition/Dietetics, and I am also minoring in Psychology and Exercise Science

I want to begin regularly studying Japanese and Spanish, and maybe Korean too

I want to begin reading, journaling, and sticking to consistent skincare and workour routines as well as keep academically inclined.

My Preferences in Accountability Buddy:

Female, 19-24 years of age (no minors or males, please.)

preferably in college/university, but it also doesn't matter if you independently study languages

also has some academic/productive oriented goals, or just goals that you'd like to be kept accountable on

has a not super personal way of contact for the accountability check ins (GroupMe, Discord, and eventually maybe a way to video call once we get more comfortable with each other, but of course, safety first! and tumblr inbox works too, but I feel discord or groupme might be a little easier long term)

hopefully willing to stay accountability buddies for a decent amount of time (for the next 4 weeks at minimum)

willing to lay out or goals, accountability check in schedule, and open to communication with respect to each of our time zones/schedules/commitments, etc

conversationaly fluent/fluent in English or English first language at the least. It's the only language I currently speak so it would be easier to work with someone that speaks the same language

If anyone is interested in having/being an accountability buddy, please send me an ask or message me! Please be respectful of my preferences tho, I really do want to be safe with something like this because with the internet, you never know. I look forward to possibly meeting/working with/becoming acquaintances with you guys!!

ps. please don't be put off by the aesthetics of my blog, I can assure you all, I am a typical, 21 year old college student who works an on campus job, struggles with sleep and caffiene, and is constantly staying on top of my grades and classes while also worrying if I'm doing enough to keep my GPA at a good spot. this blogs aesthetics are purely for fun and artistic expression. If I wasn't such an aesthetic-loving person, I'd post my own study type photos but I'd feel so less-than if I posted like, a non cohesive plethora of photos I take. I'm not good at taking photos

To Do - 3•24•2024 🎀

Today is Sunday, and my day off of work and of course, no classes today either. It is already 1pm as I've spent the morning procrastinating/planning some upcoming things. I haven't done anything that I've wanted to yet, so I figured I'd make a small to do list post to give me more motivation and some accountability.

🩷 Today I Need To:

complete kinetic prt 4 chemistry homework

pre class prep chemistry lecture

order groceries/other essentials

plan/prepare for the week

get an extension on an assignment due tomorrow night (I work most of tomorrow)

keep job searching for a new/second job (summer, etc)

🩷 Today I Want To -

wash my sheets, pillowcases, and towels

put away all my clean laundry

make dinner for the week

make a payment towards my insurance premium

clear odd and organize my desk

take out my trash

clean my bathroom minimally

I feel like I might be pressed for time, given it's past 1pm now and me and my boyfriend are having a *movie date* over video call later today (our first date of the new year, finally).

I'm also planning on beginning a new morning routine tomorrow, which I may also make a post about because it'll help keep me accountable with my efforts, give me a place to see the routine steps, and could hopefully help motivate others!

til next time, lovelies 🩷

Update on...Life?

Hello, my lovelies! I can't believe I haven't posted since...early December 2023? and now it's almost February! The time has flown so fast, kinda crazy. I do apologize for the lengthy absence, but as you'll find out, life has been hectic for me recently.

My boyfriend was in town from Dec 23rd til Han 1st, and then him and his mom left. The 2 weeks after he left were absolutely so difficult for me. As I've been unmedicated since early December due to insurance issues, my depression ramped up as heavily as it could and I pretty much stayed in bed those 2 weeks until my job started having us come back as the semester was going to start soon.

Once I started going back to work, I felt so much better. And now that my classes have resumed, I have more moments where I truly feel like myself despite still being unmedicated. But because my job is still pretty short staffed, I'm working a lot right now to both help out my job and make some extra money. Since my semester has only been started thus last week and a half, I am able to work this much but geez, I am so tired all the time right now.

I did finally get my insurance back! I have to pay over 150$ USD a month to maintain it, but I'm just excited to get back on track with my mental and physical health!

Things are slowly looking up for me at the moment and I'm honestly excited for what 2024 is going to being for me.

That being said, I am fully planning on coming back and posting regularly again! I missed this community more then I realized I would, and since the semester has started and I'm getting back into routines, what better way to keep myself accountable then to utilize my blog!

I am keeping the same theme, I love the pink feminine aesthetic still, but sometimes I may switch up the color theme, I'm not sure yet! And I will be resuming my challenge! I believe I got to about 30 days before I stopped, but due to the long hiatus, I will be basically starting back from day 1! I think I will resume the challenege either on Monday, January 29th OR Thursday, February 1st. I am not too sure yet.

also, please feel free to send me any questions you have about... anything, honestly! I will, alongside my challenge posts, be posting my goals for this semester, my study routines, stuff revolving around any hobbies I pick up, or my new *improved* routines.

til next time lovelies 🩷

I haven't posted challenge updates in a few days and it's because I've been preparing for the hotel with my boyfriend who will be here tomorrow. I am putting a pause on this challenge til January 2nd. I will resume updates then.

see you lovelies in the new year 🩷

Honesty Time 🎀

I have not had the motivation or energy to do much since my break started. I’ve done a good amount of cleaning around my room and the house, but that feels like all I’ve been doing lately. I keep making these goals for myself o get out of the house and be active and productive and I had hope that I’d stay consistent this week but all I’ve done is rot in bed and do close to nothing. I feel like I have no motivation to leave my house or workout or do anything. If I could drive, maybe it would be a different story but I don’t like feeling like this. I have goals to achieve and I’ve been doing close to nothing to actually achieve them.

I’m trying to find ways to motivate myself either internally or externally but it’s hard. My only goal for today is to start taking my health meds and supplements again and take a walk outside. I feel like achieving that would be a good start. I don’t know what the purpose of this mini vent was but if anything, could someone recommend me some tips or advice to stay motivated or find motivation to start doing things again?

I thought my challenge would be enough but all I’ve even doing is feeling guilty for my lack of doing things, if that makes sense. Today will be different. Today I will do something, anything, to get myself going in the right direction again. I know it’s the little things that count, so I’m going to remind myself that even the smallest step forward is a step in the right direction.

also, could anyone recommend me some good it girl podcasts or decent Ted talks, or just media and entertainment that would be useful to my life? Health, fitness, nutrition, productivity content. I want to start nourishing my brain without having to stare at as screen too much.

Day 26: 90 Day Challenge 🎀

Yesterday (Monday) was my 21st birthday and I honestly actually did nothing. I ordered myself food, revieved flowers from my boyfriend, and stayed in bed all day. I didn't do any skincare, I was in sweatpants all day, and I actually cried for an hour in the morning because i typically don't like my birthday and tend to get emotional every year.

Not much to really talk about, so consider this my day 26 update.

I will update on today either tonight or tomorrow.

if I made an instagram account as like an extension of my tumblr, would anyone follow it? I’d post tips, routines, fave products, etc. it would have academic, fitness, health, lifestyle, girly content. Literally an extension of this blog but on insta.
