Daily Check-in: Dec 16th 2024 π
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.
π©· 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
saved some photos to print for my 2025 vision board + set some goals
zoom called my boyfriend
showered + did my hair oiling/hair care routine
morning journal
π 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
π ToDo Today (Tuesday, 17th)
Japanese + Spanish study tasks from yesterday and today
email therapist about rescheduling Friday's appointment to earlier this week
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
play with my cat a little bit
more work in the artist of life workbook
YouTube pilates workouts
wash makeup brushes
Here's to hoping I follow through with this list today. I'm tired of not keeping promises to myself.

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
Colorado Goals π
I've been in Colorado for 2 weeks, meaning I have 6 weeks left! Here are some of the goals I hope to achieve while here, now that I have a better understanding of my time and what activities I want to do out here!
consistent workout routine; minimum 3 days a week
minimum of 8k steps a day
morning and night gratitude journaling
morning and night skincare
use the hot tub once a week
go hiking at least once
start studying languages again (Spanish + Japanese)
cut back on my caffiene consumption, 1 cup a day maximum
try some new restaurants if financially possible
pay off rent and fees for upcoming move + current place I live back home
go to the hot springs (maybe....they kinda scare me)
maybe try a workout class in town (pilates, yoga, etc)
that's all I can think of for now! I will update thus list if anything pops up in my head for while I'm here! I'm only here until August 14th, and it's about to be July! How crazy!! I can't believe I've been here 2 weeks. It's seriously flown by. Honestly timento buckle down and do some new things!

Day 11 - 90 Day Challenge π
Yesterday (11-25) was kind of productive? I ended up working a 5 hour shift at my job instead of the 8 hour one I was supposed to which by no means upset me because I still made money either way. I tried to get some stuff done beforehand but I honestly just took the morning for rest. I also go back to work this morning as well so I'm really happy to get back to routine.
πββοΈ Physical Health
took a 30+ minute walk around campus before I had to go to work
walked 9778 steps total
ate a really good salad with tomato, cucumber, romaine, shredded carrots, and balsamic vinegrette. (who knew balasamic vinegrette was so yummy!)
drank half a liter of essentia electrolyte water
stopped eating breakfast when I was comfortably satisfied and didn't push past my limits
ate 2 servings of fruit + 1 serving of almonds + 1 serving of cashews (so yummy, cashews and almonds for the win)
π§ Mental Health
nothing that I can remember at the moment
β€οΈ Emotional Health
some more retail therapy. bought myself some oversized t shirts online to use as gym shirts/everyday shirts. I may be plus size but I still love me an big comfy t shirt, especially to workout. I think I bought 11 or 12 shirts? cost me 90$ USD.
π Intellectual Health
does it count if I said I did a lot of budgeting for what I was buying?
because otherwise, nothing else
π Adulting
worked a 5 hour shift
phone call + zoom call with my boyfriend
took care of some laundry I had previously washed (still have more to take care of)
π₯° Self Love/Care
morning skincare
that's about it, but I think the walk helped my anxiety, and retail therapy always feels like self love because I used to feel guilty for buying myself stuff
Yesterday was a good day for sure. Today, my goals are to make it through my work shift, complete my reflection paper that's due tomorrow night, drink one liter of essentia electrolyte water, answer a journal prompt, and set myself up for tomorrow morning (I have a 730am class on Mon and Wed, so I gotta be up bright and early tomorrow!)
My Mondays are always so busy. Here's a little breakdown for those who are curious:
Wake up early, get ready, coffee, skincare, pack school bag, set out work stuff
Class at 730am to 845am
class from 9am to 1015am
quick snack at the dining hall at 1025am
review homework/tasks for the week
gym from 11am to 1215pm
walk home
shower, eat something proteiny, get ready for work
walk to work 130pm
work from 2pm to 10pm
get home, change/shower, zoom boyfriend
go to sleep by 11ish pm
I love Mondays tho, the routine always sets me up for the week!
Anywho, that's all for now!
Til next time, lovelies π©·
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 π
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 π©·
Classes Fall 2024 π
I'm super excited about my class schedule this semester. As many of you know, I'm double majoring now in Human Nutrition and Dietetics, and Finance! (Also double minoring in Psychology and Exercise Science). I love my classes this semester, and I'm so excited to start my 4th year of university!
π Classes for Fall 2024 π
Integrated Survey of Organic and Biochemistry + Lab - 4 credits
Learning (Psyc) - 3 credits
Intro to Business (Online) - 3 credits
Principles of Accounting II - 3 credits
Financial Literacy (online, mini semester) - 2 credits
My weekly schedule actually looks so beautiful this semester, I'm seriously so so so excited. I was able to structure the schedule so I can work 40 hours a week (haha, expenses, yay!) and still have a complete day of no class/no work and I have the day off of work for my lab too.
I also have the TEAS exam coming up, which will be my entrance exam into the Dietetic program when I pass (manifesting it, wooo!). I'm going to start studying for it by the end of August and I believe the exam is in October? At least the first attempt is. So I'm definitely excited!
Lots to do, lots do prepare for!

Quick Update - July 30, 2023 π
I will not be posting check-ins for today or yesterday, as I have had an emotionally charged, difficult weekend, and I just want to focus on the week ahead and get back on routine.
Thank you, guys, for understanding. I'll post my next check in tomorrow night, and I think I'll post my current morning routine sometime this week as well!!

Poll For The Girlies π
Iβm wondering, what are your guys main form of working out? Pilates, yoga, weight lifting, cardio, etc? And why do you do those as your main and what do you recommend others? Letβs share the knowledge and help inspire some other girlies who are in or may be starting their fitness journey! I myself do lots of walking, mat pilates, and yoga. I am going to be trying reformer Pilates next semester and will be going back to weight lifting a couple times a week next semester as well. I recommend low impact exercise (yoga and Pilates) for keeping cortisol levels low, strength training to build muscles in whatever area if your body you want, and any form of cardio to increase endurance, stamina, and heart health!
please don't judge me
I know I just started my 90 day challenge and it's been pretty fun, but I keep not meeting all my goals and it's causing me to be more down on myself which was NOT what I wanted from this challenge.
I've decided to alter the challenge. Instead of posting specific goals, I will update every night with what I have accomplished during the day. It will still be within my specific categories, but having specific goals that I'm not meeting just makes me feel guilty and bad about myself, even though I know rest and recovery is necessary.
So, tonight's update will be just what I've accomplished today, no adherence to the previous goals I had set. (well, some adherence as I was trying to direct my actions to meet some of those goals).
I feel like this will be better for my productivity and mental health overall, and leave me feeling more proud of my accomplishments instead of more down because of what I "didn't accomplish".
til later, lovelies π©·
feel free to send me messsages about anything I have posted and keep in mind I will be uploading more things soon! Will open up to worldwide shipping if necessary!
thank you lovelies π©·
