Daily Check-In: May 26, 2025 🎀

Hello lovelies <3

Today is going to be a very relaxing, restorative day, as I have work tomorrow and had a really rough night last night. Nothing too difficult or too set in stone for me. Just a todo list of things I WANT to do today that'll benefit me the best.

This summer so far, I've been indulging in hobbies, which is what I plan on spending all day today doing!

ToDo Today (May 26) 🌻

watercolor painting practice

color a full page in one of my coloring books

begin reading a new book (I just finished The Seven Husband's of Evelyn Hugo and omg it was so so good)

list a few more clothing items on depop

wash dishes

job search, just a little bit

budget the money I'm getting later this week

journal about life a little bit

take a nap

Those are the only things I want to make sure I get done today, I don't care what order or how long they take. Today is all about relaxing and having a good, easy, restful day.

I hope all of you have a wonderful day as well <3

🎵 Song of The Day: Casual - Doja Cat

omg this song is so good, it's been on repeat

Help me choose which book I should read please!

Life Update: 5/26/25

Hello lovelies, long time no see, at least it feels like it's been a long time. I finished off my spring semester, not as strong as I had hoped honestly. I barely managed to pass the classes I was worried about, and I was honestly so so burnt out by the end of the semester. Like, I think I slept the most I ever have in the week following my last day of the semester.

So far this summer, I've only worked 2 days (as of tomorrow it'll be 2 days of work this summer) because I decided I wanted a break from school AND work which I am thankfully able to afford at the moment. It has been wonderful. I've spent my days reading, taking walks outside, working out, napping, and indulging in hobbies like painting, coloring, and I plan on picking up sewing, crochet, and drawing soon. It has been so restorative for me so far and I am so beyond grateful for this time I've had for myself.

Work has become a super toxic place for me, as I have some co workers that have made it their mission to talk trash about me and my life and the decisions I make. One of them is actually a former friend who can't seem to not talk about me. I've had at least 4 people confirm that she talks about me constantly and it's honestly draining to hear all the garbage and nonsense she talks. I just wish everyone would remember we are adults and we certainly have much more important things to do then just talk about other people. It also hurts, because we used to be such good friends, and I haven't spoken one word bad on her since the friendship ended, because I don't see it as productive or necessary. I just wish other people thought the same, that there's no need to speak ill on others.

I would find a new job if I could, but because I don't drive AND my current job pays well, I feel as though I am a bit stuck. But we will see what happens when the semester gets closer. Maybe I can take a pay cut and get a new job. Who knows?

I will post my todo list for today soon, as today is a full relaxation/restoration day for me. I started my period and had a really rough night last night, plus I work tomorrow (deep cleaning the restaurant I work at, so nothing too bad), so I figured having a full day of ease would be most beneficial.

I'm going to try to update as regularly as I can, as I do have some stuff that I need to accomplish this summer before the semester starts. It feels good to be back.

Going to bed at 1am and waking up at 6am is something I haven't done in a long while, but I am seriously so tired right now. I didn't finish my project last night, so I'm gonna work on it today before I have to go in to work. I requested an extension but haven't received an email back, so otherwise, it's just due tonight. So I don't really have a choice but to continue grinding it out.

Todo Today (April 29th) ✨️

shower + morning skincare 🫧

work on project 💻

psych doc appointment at 12noon 🧠

work 230pm to ~10pm 🍕

shower + nighttime skincare 🫧

come home and work on project some more

be in bed and hopefully asleep by midnight

It's a pretty simple and straightforward day for me thankfully. Doesn't help how tired I am but I'll survive. Some sleep is better than no sleep right now, and I have many redbulls ro help power me thru the next two weeks til I can finally take my break from school and work. May 9th can't come quick enough.

It's grind time. With the semesters end quickly approaching alongside the end of steady work at my job for the semester, I'm running myself a bit ragged with all the hours I'm pulling on top of school work and whatnot. Here's to keeping myself accountable and productive the next two weeks until I can finally rest and recuperate from this semester.

ToDo Today (April 28th) ✨️

shower + night time skincare 🫧

work from 230pm to ~10pm 🍕

work on social media project for health psychology until ~1am ish 💻

read a chapter of my current book to unwind a little bit today 📚

try not to drink too much caffeine ☕️

since it's almost time for me to go to work, I figured I'd keep my todo list nice and short and manageable.

Tomorrow will be a similar story as today, just working and grinding out schoolwork/studying as much as I can. Let's hope I can end this semester on a high ish note.

Hello again lovelies! Life's been too busy to make posts about my days, but rest assured I've kept myself productive and busy with school and work and life in general! I actually had down time this week which was pretty cool, as I usually don't ever have time to rest without guilt lately. But, today's a new day, I don't have work scheduled today, so I'm going to do a bunch of school work and a few household chores today too.

My brain did not let me study or do much this weekend and it was seriously bugging me, but I'm trying not to beat myself up about it because it was that time of month and lately it has been messing with me hard whenever it's that time of month. Plus, work was really tiring this weekend and I've been a little stressed out about some things.

What I Accomplished (April 6th) 👑

completed and passed a quiz for one of my online classes

worked 9am to 3pm

took a 40 min nap on the couch

worked on my study guide for health psychology for ~10min

Not the most productive day yesterday, but it was not a bad day. I was super tired and anxious yesterday, but I had a decent day regardless.

Todo Today (April 7) ✨️

Not an extensive list, but just stuff I need to get done. My health psych exam is Thursday and I believe my exercise physiology exam opens on Friday. I have a couple of small projects coming due next week, and some assignments that need completing later this week. It's lock in time now that the semester is almost over.

Yesterday was not a good day. I was able to get a decent amount of chores done but I ended up having a sort of breakdown about some stuff going on in my life, I cried several times and ended up not being able to really focus on anything. I stayed up way later than I needed to and honestly just tried to be kind to myself because stuff feels heavy sometimes.

What I Accomplished (April 1st) 👑

washed dishes

put away clean laundry

ran another load of laundry

washed my towels, blanket, and pillow cases

tidied up around my room

took out three bags of trash

ordered groceries

watched a little bit of Attack on Titan

listed more items for sale on my depop

Yeah, not my most productive day, but I don't want to beat myself up about it. Stuff happens, and I just gotta keep my head above water and call that a win sometimes.

ToDo Today (April 2nd) ✨️

complete assignment 6 for one of my online classes (it's due tomorrow) 💻

work on chapter 10 notes for exercise physiology (at least a little bit) ✏️

make a study quizlet for exercise physiology

make a study quizlet for health psychology

morning + night skincare 🚿

work a night shift, 230pm to ~930pm ☕️

I need to start drastically limiting my caffeine intake. I definitely think the amount of caffeine I consume is unhealthy and is contributing to my heightened levels of anxiety and uneasiness. It will definitely do me some good to make some changes with that for sure.

I still haven't decided what language to pick back up yet, but I'm not in any rush to make a decision just yet either. I need to look at what classes to take next semester, if I'm switching colleges or not. And I need to fill out my FAFSA. But those will be tasks for another day right now.

April already? Time is flying, I feel like we barely entered 2025 and now it's April? Feels unreal almost.

I have no work today, so I'm going to spend as much time as I can on stuff that I really need and really want to do! I've done pretty good at getting stuff done lately, especially with school stuff, so I really want to keep that sort of momentum going to try and be more successful as the school semester comes to an end.

Seems like a lot at first glance, but I have all day to do this stuff, so I definitely have the means to get it all done.

What I Did Yesterday (March 31st) 👑

completed chapter 9 quiz for exercise physiology

worked on chapter 10 notes for exercise physiology

completed assignment 10.1 for exercise physiology

washed a load of laundry

dropped off two packages at the post office

finished paying off my rent

worked from 230pm to 945pm

I feel like that's a good amount of stuff to have gotten done yesterday, given I really wasn't feeling like doing much. Work had been so tiring lately, I'm almost glad the semester is ending because of the toll that work is taking on me physically now. On the bright side, I should be getting promoted in April, so hopefully, things ease up once that happens.

I want to start studying languages again, and of course I'm stuck between my favorite three: Spanish, Korean, or Japanese. I have lots of Japanese study resources, I live in a high population of Spanish speakers, and I listen to lots of music and media in Korean. Which one(s) do I start with to ease back into it? Pick one? All three? Help a girl out!!

I need to start taking and using my own photos on here, I feel like these pinterest ones don't do it for me anymore. but we'll see how successful I am at maintaining that.

I did not finish as much as I wanted yesterday, mostly because I came home from work and immediately began the process of bleaching and dying my hair purple. It took about 6 hours total and looking back, I definitely could've spent some of the wait time taking notes or reading, so at least I know to be more mindful of that. (I dye my hair at home)

What I Accomplished Yesterday (March 29) ✨️

spent 55min working on Chapter 9 notes for exercise physiology (need to complete them and start chapter 10 ASAP today)

worked 9am to 3pm

washed dishes

dyed my hair purple

ordered necessities from the store

night time skincare + showered

So yeah, it was not the most productive day I don't think, but today has the opportunity to be a better day for that stuff, so I'll make use of the time I have today in a better way.

Todo Today (March 30th) 🌻

finish chapter 9 notes for exercise physiology 📖

begin chapter 10 notes for exercise physiology 📖

complete one assignment from my course assignments list 💻

work 9am to 3pm 🍵

do some journaling ✏️

read a chapter of a book (probably Attached, or Way of Kings) 📚

night time skincare + oral hygiene 🚿

set myself up for the gym in the morning ☀️

I really hope I won't be ad tired today as I have been lately. it's seriously not fun coming home from work exhausted or waking up and not wanting to move because I'm still so tired. But I know I'll get some stuff done today for sure. Luckily, none of my current todos have a strict deadline, so I can go easy on myself if needed.

Last night, I was decently productive to the point where I was actually proud of what I was able to accomplish. It was a nice feeling. I'm still grappling with the thoughts of what to do in regards to continuing my education, if I go the community college (Medical Assisting) route or continue with my university (Nutrition and Dietetics), despite the possible financial issues I'll be facing.

What I Accomplished Yesterday (March 28th) ✨️

did a hydrating face mask (it was amazing)

washed and put away a load of laundry

paid my rent

wrote out some chapter 8 notes + chapter 8 vocabulary notes for health and exercise psychology

wrote out a solid chunk of my chapter 9 notes for exercise physiology (need to finish chapter 9 and start chapter 10 asap, but that's what I get for being 2 chapters behind)

journaled about some stuff going on in my head (mostly the continuing education stuff that's been plaguing my thoughts)

studied/did schoolwork for a total of 122 minutes

looked at potential classes I could take + other options for switching to the community college here in town

Yesterday was definitely a decent day in terms of stuff I was able to get done, but I also know I slacked off A LOT. More than I am comfortable with having slacked off. I'm slowly getting back into my school grind mindset, especially with the semester coming to an end soon. I really want to get my grades back up where I need them to be and end the semester on a high note, with a good GPA and a sense of pride in knowing I tried.

Todo Today (March 29th) 🌷

make my to-do list for tomorrow ✨️

My goal is to get all of this done today, and I have a strong feeling I'll be successful as long as I keep my head in the game and remember that I have priorities and things need to get done. If I don't do the things, then the things don't get done, and I can't have that.

👑 Quote of the Day: What if it all works out?

til next time lovelies 🩷

So, I might be switching from my current bachelors degree at my university to pursuing an associate at the local community college for medical assisting. And I'm terrified.

I will be losing significant financial aid in the coming fall semester, which is definitely a driving factor in my decision to possibly switch over, as community college is much cheaper here. I'll be able to reapply to my university afterward to continue my bachelors degree in nutrition, so there's that too.

I guess I just nervous about making such a big switch. I've never been the best with phlebotomy stuff, which I'll need both clinical and in class experience with as I pursue the associate for medical assisting.

Any words of encouragement, or advice from people who've made a similar ish type of switch? I'm super nervous, nothing has been set in stone or done yet, but I'd love to hear from people who've done anything similar.

Thank you <3

I should be able to get most of this done. I might put off taking notes until this weekend, just because my head hasn't necessarily been in the game recently. My anxiety has been pretty high the last few days, and it's taking a lot of energy to keep under control right now. But everything else is definitely a priority to get done today!

I'm back? - An Update

Hey lovelies. It's been a while. Lots has happened in my life, and I don't know how consistent I'll be with posting but I figured it would be a good way to kind of motivate myself to get back to some of my habits and working towards some of my goals. I've been slowly trying to better myself, my life, my academics, all that good stuff, and maybe coming back here and posting will help me stay accountable? Who knows, but it's worth a shot.

💌 Todo List for Today (March 26, 2025)

take chapter 8 notes for health psychology

take chapter 9 notes for exercise physiology

read 1 chapter of Attached ✅️ (I read 3)

survive my night shift at work (2pm to 9pm)

night time skincare

Not an extensive list, as I've already crossed off some other items on my to-do list that I don't think need to be added because they're already done for the day. I'm feeling incredibly anxious right now, and I have no clue why, but hopefully taking my medication and maybe some meditation will help my anxiety lessen a little bit.

My todo list for tomorrow is TBD.

Daily Check-in: Dec 16th 2024 🎀

Made the beginning of a check in for Sunday, saved it to drafts, and now I can't remember a single thing I did on Sunday besides cry from anxiety. Yesterday was good tho, despite honestly not doing much. Being on break is always so difficult for me. I begin to lack energy, motivation, and discipline, and it leaves me feeling very negative about myself. Hopefully I can turn that around soon.

🩷 What I Accomplished

studied Japanese in my Genki I workbook for ~22min

cooked chicken for dinner

took a nap

worked in my 2025 artist of life workbook journal to set up for next year

💔 What Could've Gone Better

laid in bed for honestly most of the day

over ate a bit

didn't work out

didn't do my skincare at all

didn't journal at night

had to reschedule breakfast with my dad due to anxiety

skipped an online appointment

overall felt really bad about how I spent my day

💕 ToDo Today (Tuesday, 17th)

Japanese + Spanish study tasks from yesterday and today

call physical therapy and cancel Friday's appointment (I'm getting my nails done on Friday and so is one of my roommates so that's why I gotta move stuff around on Friday)

apply for 2 more internships for the summer

morning + night skincare (use a face mask tonight)

morning + night journaling

eat more mindfully

ToDo *Dec 15, 2024

I have some stuff I've been putting off, so I figured I'd make a todo list and be productive today. Some of it is little mundane tasks, some of it are larger things I've been procrastinating.

wash makeup brushes + sponges

research summer internship opportunities

put away laundry

plan language studies for this week (when, where, and what)

clean out backpack + old stuff from this last semester

make list of calls to make + emails to send tomorrow

do a digital declutter on iPad + chromebook

rewrite my personal budget for when I return to work

work in journal/workbook for 2025

read at least 2 chapters of a book

maybe practice crochet

hopefully I do at least half this list today, I'm feeling a little tired so we shall see. Will update tonight and restart my daily check ins as well!

til later lovelies 🩷

TODO ASAP

research internship/volunteer opportunities relevant to my field of study

research possible scholarship and financial aid opportunities for summer classes

research colleges for my future masters program + decide what to pursue my masters in

narrow down my class search and focus for my education as it continues

If anyone has any advice or tips for everything I have to accomplish listed here, I am all ears as I am kind of lost on what to do and know I need to take my education more seriously.

For the ask game #6; What are your career goals?

My previous career goals were to be a Registered Dietitian, running my own facility for outpatient eating disorder treatment. I am someone who struggled with two types of ED's and I want to help people who are going through them too.

Right now, my goals have switched a bit, so I don't exactly know what my future holds, but I am still planning on working with ED recovery in a nutrition based setting. I have to get my masters to be a dietitian, and I don't know if I'll have the resources to do so. We shall see what the future holds!

Winter Break 24' Goals

My winter break is quickly approaching as the fall semester is coming to an end. I will be getting time off work as well, due to the semester ending, so that gives me about ~5 weeks to basically do whatever I want! Which I am so excited about <3

Here are some goals I am going to accomplish over this long, much needed break:

learn + practice more crochet 🧶(I can do a chain, but a single crochet is difficult for me right now)

workout at the gym 3-5x a week 🏋‍♀️

begin running again 🏃‍♀️ (I'm taking a running class next semester, so I want to prepare myself for it)

study japanese 3-5 days a week + take 2-3 italki lessons 🌸 (I'm also taking a Japanese class next semester so I want to know more than the basics)

study Spanish 2 days a week minimum 🇲🇽 (another language I know a little bit of but want to get better at)

complete watching 2-4 unfinished anime 💻 series (I always stop with a few episodes to go, need to break that habit)

consistent self care + begin a few healthy, consistent habits 🎀 (meditation, journaling, skincare morning + night, stretching, etc)

visit my boyfriend ❤️ (aiming to do so in early January!)

start drawing or at the very least, coloring, again ✏️ (very fun, very creative, very stress relieving, but I won't be mad if I don't hold myself to this)

meal prep 2x a week for lunches and dinners 🥗

on that note, learn a couple new recipes for lunches and dinners! 🍜

finish reading two books at minimum, three if I really work at it 📚 (going to finish What Alice Forgot, then going to move on to Girl In Pieces and If He Had Been With Me [or No Longer Human])

I will truly begin these on December 13th, and begin my daily updates soon too. Will Reblog this around Jaunary 13th to see what I actually did!

what are your guys goals for the winter?

hello lovelies <3

I have been MIA for a while now, and that’s because life has been absolutely bonkers lately. Here’s a quick breakdown:

> my financial habits have been terrible, I’ve been able to afford rent but haven’t been saving or paying off debts at all and it’s driving me crazy but I’m trying to teach myself better habits

> because of my lack of financial skills, I will NOT be taking classes next semester. I owe about 1,800$ USD to my university and won’t be able to register anyways with that high of a balance

> someone who I thought was a good friend turned out to not be and I’m dealing with the aftermath of a hurtful friendship breakup

> because of said friendship breakup, a few people at work have been borderline bullying me for no reason and it’s made me cry and have lots of anxiety at work, has also affected several work friendships in a negative way so I’m pretty much done trying to be friends with people at work

> my roommates and I resigned our lease so I’ll be living with them for this year and next thankfully! I love my rooommates, they are truly good people

> I still haven’t seen my boyfriend in person since January 1st but we’re trying to find time and the finances to get me out to cali to see him hopefully in December

> I started working out again and upped my medication by 2mg and the difference has been immense, I feel so much better, more clear, more like myself and overall just happier and more content

> I’ve stalled in studying Japanese, haven’t put much of any effort towards it lately but want to restart asap as I have a Japanese lesson in 2ish weeks

so, that’s the breakdown. It doesn’t seem like a lot, but believe me, it’s been insane. October has been a crazy month. I’m hoping to get back to it soon and overall start living my life to the fullest again. Will be making an updated post of goals to accomplish by the end of the year so stay tuned for that!

took an 1.5hour nap

completed and aubmitted my 2 pre lab assignments for chem

completed and submitted my weekly quiz for chem (got a 16/20, so I only missed 2 questions)

completed my part 1 and part 2 assignments for intro to business

Random Stuff 🍄

didn't study japanese but am definitely going to create a consistent study routine now that I found a teacher I like on italki for Japanese

need to fill out my planner for the month cause I have so much that I forgot to put in there

I took the "second skin" off my tattoo cause it was kinda gross and dang it does my tattoo itch. I know that means it's healing but ughhhh, I hate the itching

I forgot to get my Netflix subscription back. my boyfriend and I are starting weekly video call date nights (so like watching a movie or TV show together over video call) and Netflix is the easiest so I gots to get it again

need to rewrite my budget to hopefully fit monthly payments for a Mac into my budget

To Do Today 9/28/24

I was supposed to work a long double shift today at my normal job and then a kinda side job task that involves talking to a ton of people and being out late at night. I've decided I'm going to tell my bosses I can't do it, because the anxiety I've felt about doing it has made me thrown up already 😅

so here's the stuff I am going to do today:

pre lab 24 chemistry

pre lab 25 chemistry

chemistry lecture quiz

catch up on chem lecture notes

catch up on psyc lecture notes

catch up on accounting lecture notes

complete other intro to business assignments

study japanese

study for TEAS exam

It sounds like a lot, but honestly, it should not take me all night to do all these things so I'll be fine, as long as I get then done!

see you in the update later, lovelies 🩷
