Daily Check-in: May 9, 2024 π
Thursday was a good day that ended on a sour note, but that happens sometimes, especially ok days when my therapy sessions go a little deeper. But it's all a part of the healing process.
π©· What I Accomplished:
read 10 pages of a book
studied Spanish for 23 minutes
booked an italki lesson for the 21st
had an hour long therapy session
did my full night skincare
planned out some stuff
rescheduled my plans with my friend for Friday since she had stuff she had forgotten about
talked to my dad
zoomed with my boyfriend
re evaluated some of my health goals and action step
π Good Things That Happened:
I passed psyc with an A and all my grades are currently passing
I bought a watermelon!!!
took a 45 minute nap
my roommates washed some of my dishes (they've been petty for jo reason lately and have not been very nice so seeing that they did some of my dishes was nice. despite them throwing away my full, barely opened bag of spinach. but oh well)
π Stuff For Friday
cleaning final for restaurant class 1030am to 130pm
study spanish
read my daily minimum of a book
re plan my workouts for next week
sort out getting back to my morning routine
do my night time skincare
finish my very last assignment for the semester
go shopping and grab coffee with my friend
Thursday reminded me that I don't like staying in my room/in my bed like that because it just brings me down. My goals for this summer before I head to Colorado are to take walks, stay active, sit at my desk, keep my step count up, and just take care of myself. I deserve all the self-love and self care <3
π Song of The Day: aespa - Spicy
this feels like a summer vibe type of song.

Your version of top ten kpop song this year ?
It's such a hard question to answer, but here's my version!! (not necessarily in order, but these are my favorites, and yes, I doubled most cause there's so many good ones)
Queencard by (G)-Idle (this is actually my number one of all year, a repeat, a favorite, the best)
I AM/Baddie by IVE (I don't remember if I AM came out this year but ughhh soo good, and Baddie is in so many of my playlists right now)
OMG/Ditto by New Jeans (both were on repeat this year)
Bet On Me/Cake/Kill Shot by Itzy (both are so good, i wanna go on a run while listening to Bet On Me, its so motivating. The whole album was phenomenal)
ETA/Super Shy by New Jeans (again, both so good)
Unforgiven/ Perfect Night by Le Sserafim (I actually prefer the Japanese version of unforgiven cause of ADO and how good it sounds in japanese)
I Love My Body by Hwasa (such a girly bop about self love, heck yes)
Drama/Spicy by Aespa (Drama has me in a chokehold right now, and Spicy makes me feel like a bad b)
Bite Me by Enhyphen/LA LA LA or S-Class by Stray Kids (I am such a Stray kids stan now, this year was chefs kiss for their music, and Enhypens Bite Me was like, etheral)
Set Me Free/Moonlight Sunrise by Twice (I am such a Twice stan too, they are so close to being no skip discography for me)
Honorable mentions -
Rover by Kai
Young, Dumb, Stupid/Love Me Like This by NMIXX (I learned part of the dance for these two, so addictive)
Set me Free pt 2 by Jimin (finally freeeEEEeee)
Antifragile/Fearless 2023 version by Le Sserafim (antitititititititi fragileeeee)
Memories by Riize (so good sooo goood)
Off The Record by IVE (ughhh I fell in love after the first listen
don't know if these are kpop technically but Social Path by Stray Kids and Do Not Touch by Misamo were absolutely amazing and I played them on repeat together for so long)
Agassy by Soojin (*Mariah Carey voice "She's baaaaacccckkkk")
3D/Seven by Jungkook (he killed his solo songs)
Haegum by Agust D (too good to describe)
Hold On Tight by Aespa (catchyyyyy)
okay, I'm done but yes I love kpop and I am a multistan and I love this music genre so much

April 7th, 2025 π
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) π
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
chatted with my roommates for a while
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.

these last two days have not been at all like I wouldβve liked them to be. I started getting sick on Monday night and now thatβs exactly what happened, I am sick and very unhappy about it. Luckily I think itβs just a cold this time but I always dislike getting sick. Iβm not going to inicie a What I Ate in this check in because I genuinely donβt remember at the moment what I ate on Monday and Tuesday. this will just be a what Iβve accomplished post.

Started notes for chapter 6 for my psyc class
I mentioned that I went home early from work on Monday and that was due to having a full blown panic attack in the work office in front of my supervisor. I think I had been stressed about school stuff and when I felt myself getting sick I just panicked and ended up with a near debilitating attack. Iβm so grateful for my supervisor, she talked me down from the panic attack and then let me go home because she saw how it was affecting me. I love my work family.
π©· Personal Accomplishments -
Took time off school due to being ill + last nights panic attack
Showered + night skincare
Made myself dinner
Relaxed and overall had a good day
Japanese Duolingo p/Busuu 15 minutes

Completed my mid term presentation and turned it in before the due date
Reached out to my Psyc Professor about an extension for a Psyc assignment
did not do much on Tuesday due to low energy and just wanting and needing to take care of myself a little bit. Iβm still sick as of right now and still planning on taking it easy to help both mind and body recover,
this was not the update I had hoped on giving but I still wanted to keep you all in the loop as to whatβs going on with me. I appreciate all the kind words Iβve received from you guys. Your encouragement and kindness is one of the reasons I keep up with this blog and have the motivation to be open and honest.

So I replaced social health with adulting tasks as I'm a more introverted person so the only social tasks would be calling my dad or talking to my boyfriend or the occasional chat with the roommates. I also know that "lay down in silence" is odd but I'm trying to train myself to be okay with being bored. sort of like meditation but with an emphasis on the do nothing aspects.
I'm super tired today for no reason, but I know I'll get at least 90% of my goals met.

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!
No update for yesterday and most likely no update for today. I am struggling with a crushing amount of anxiety that's leading to panicked crying, anxiety attacks, and literal paralysis as I find myself unable to think or do anything clearly at the moment.
If anyone has any healthy coping skills or mechanisms for dealing with this level of anxiety, please comment them. I hate this.

What's The Best Way To Split Up Language Learning When Learning 2+ Languages At The Same Time?
For example, I'm currently studying Spanish and Korean and will be re adding Japanese in a few months. I currently try to do specific days for specific languages but find myself doing a little of both a day.
