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.

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) 💻

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.

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 📖

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.

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'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
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
💔 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
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.

a reminder for you (but mainly for me)
the ideal university experience is a myth - all your mutuals on instagram posting about all their cool parties and cool friends don't live everyday like that, they probably don't look like that everyday either, people will only show you their best moments. people can be immature in uni just like they were in college and in school, coming to uni doesn't suddenly make you mature and neither does it make anyone else either. friendship breakups and all that petty shit happens to everyone. you're there to get a degree and not make friends, if the living environment or the people put you off, do you really want it that badly? i think i lost all my uni friends today because of a misunderstanding, some of them are in my classes and one is my flatmate who i can't avoid. but its only my foundation year and i'll meet other people next year. and when people have real jobs they have to work with people they dont like aswell, so its kinda like practice for the future. i think i'm gonna get back into movie reviews, drawing and painting again, and i was considering starting fencing? i think it would be fun. and i'm going to take my iron medication and vitamins too. because being alone isn't the end of the world. until next time (which is probably soon) Amina

Totally lost with how life is. Haven't updated my tumblr for some time. So, what I have done lately:
Ethical research application for groupwork, prepping for semi-qualitative interview, doing my term paper (aka my supervisor asked me to do it and mayhaps, publish it), and attending seminars.
It was such a warm afternoon, sun beating on my skin. So far, progress of my paper (noty thesis, one I have to publish first) were its introduction, and relearning how to systematic literature review along with data extraction.
Good quote of the day by one of my lecturers is "Everything is possible, if you are willing to accept change and reiterate along your way".
