Reflection: where light finds its twin.🕯️🔥
March 29, 2025 🎀
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) 🌷
work on (and finish) chapter 9 notes for exercise physiology ✏️
begin chapter 10 notes for exercise physiology ✏️
complete assignment chapter 9.1 for exercise physiology 💻
complete assignment chapter 9.2 for exercise physiology 💻
order necessities from the store 🧻
work 9am to 3pm ☕️
daily journaling 📖
read 1 chapter of Attached 📚
wash dishes 🫧 (the sink is full, and I don't like it)
tidy up around my bedroom 🧹
night time skincare + shower 🚿
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.

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.

In Need of Motivation 🎀
can anyone recommend some good studyspo YouTubers or just any studyspo content, study motivation advice and tips for right now?
I have homework and studying I need to work on but can’t find the motivation to move from my bed to my desk.
I might try a Study to Success video, or an old video from Studyquill.
also, I’m curious, what keeps you guys going to get some work done when you don’t feel like doing it? What sparks your productivity?
