“Are you into a type?”
I’m not into any type, I’m into connection, consistency, honesty, openness, communication, encouragement and reassurance.
That’s my type.

Turning your life around? Coming out of a funk? Getting over a breakup? Need to reignite your spark for life? Need to feel in control? Want a boost of confidence? Dealing with low self esteem?
Where to start:
- Exercise every day
- Skincare + makeup of personal preference (yes this includes not wearing makeup at all if that is your personal preference)
- Hair done
- Showered and moisturized
- At least one hobby you engage with on a daily/frequent basis
- At least one skill you are developing on a daily/frequent basis
If you haven’t gotten a 7 day workout streak and completed the other bullet points on this list yet, stop moaning, get to work, and kill your distractions.
This is level 0.

no, the weekend is not an excuse to skip your studying. it never has been. in fact, weekends are one of the most crucial things to a study routine. catch up on lost sleep and review your notes, you have 48 hours.

1/100 Days of Productivity
Had a really good chat about self advocacy and boundary setting today - my productivity at the moment is about setting up my life to support me instead of drain me, even if that means hammering on people’s inboxes until they listen.

Something that schools don’t teach you but is much needed: how to have a work/life balance that works for you.
As someone who works fulltime and does classes and attempts a social life and hobbies, this gets very hard and stressful. But here are some tips I have for helping:
- Learn to say no and not feel guilty. Picking up that extra shift when you had plans? Politely decline. Your friend is begging you to take ANOTHER class when your plate is full so you can have one together? Just be honest and say you can’t.
- Prioritize your sleep and eating. You can’t function well if you don’t sleep and eat enough. These are not things you can just push aside and do when you get the time. These are basic things you need to survive. These are literally basic needs. Don’t throw them to the side. Your body does its best to take care of you. Make sure you take care of it too.
- Have boundaries and be firm with them. If you tell your manager you can only work x, y, and z, don’t let them add a or b to it. Respectfully but firmly let them know that you can’t take on those things and if they have you do a or b, your work overall is going to majorly decrease in quality. Schedule time for yourself. For studying. For going out. And treat those set aside times just like you would if they were work or school times or appointments. You are the most important part of your life.
- Understand that some weeks are going to be absolute hell. You’re not going to have enough time. You’re going to be exhausted and cry and throw things and want to quit everything. You got this babe. Take breaks and remind yourself how amazing you are and treat yourself after.
- Prioritize things and adopt better habits. Wash your dishes right after using them. Get a set bedtime. Get easy breakfast things. Take a walk.
- Your friends will understand if you just need time alone. I promise. They love you and don’t hate you because you’re overwhelmed. I PROMISE. And if they don’t, maybe they aren’t really your friends.
- Not everyone is a friend. Some people are acquaintances. Some people are a 5 minute smoke break at work for your sanity. Some people are drinking buddies. Some people are library study date friends. And that’s ok! Not everyone has to be your bestie. And trying to put that much energy into that many people will drain you.
