Hey guys, good morning! So it’s May 15th and I actually woke up at 6am today… 6am. I know, who even am I? But honestly, I was just feeling like I needed to take control of the day instead of letting it run me, you know?

First thing I did was throw on my workout clothes and head to the gym. I didn’t even stop to scroll on my phone like I usually do. just grabbed my water bottle, tied up my hair, and left. And I’m so glad I did. The gym was pretty quiet, which I love. I got a solid workout in  just enough to sweat out the stress and shake off that foggy, finals-week brain.

Now I’m back, showered, and sitting with my coffee, and for the first time in weeks, I feel like I can breathe. Today’s my last day of doing all the assignments, and I’m actually finished. Like… done. The weight that’s been sitting on my chest for days? Gone. I feel lighter, calmer, and honestly proud of myself for pushing through.

Anyway, just wanted to check in this morning and share that. If you’re in that finals grind right now you’ve got this. One more push, and then its Over. Thank you for listening to my chaotic weeks.

Today felt like one of those days that just… blurs together. I woke up later than I meant to (again), quickly grabbed some cereal, and basically dove straight into homework. I’ve got a couple of big assignments due this week, so I’ve been trying to chip away at them a little each day. I spent most of the morning going back and forth between writing a discussion post for one of my classes and reviewing notes for an upcoming quiz. It’s kind of exhausting how it never really stops, you know?

After lunch, I had to shift gears and get ready for work. I work afternoons at a western store, which is honestly not too bad most days. Today it will be very chill as it is a weekday. I don’t mind being there.

I cannot wait to be back home, and get some more work done :( I am tired guys.

May 13, 2025

Hello so today was super uneventful, but also kinda important in its own way. I’ve literally been home all day, just trying to knock out the last of my assignments before senior year officially wraps up. It’s wild how close we are to being done. Like, DONE done.

I woke up this morning and basically went straight to my laptop, still in my pajamas, hair a mess, just powering through homework like a gremlin. I had a few discussion posts to finish, one final project to turn in, and an annoying slideshow that I’ve been putting off for way too long. But guess what? I did it all. Every single thing. I even double-checked my grades like three times just to make sure I didn’t forget anything.

It’s weird though this mix of relief and sadness. I’ve been stressed for weeks trying to get everything done, but now that I’m actually finishing it all, it feels kind of… bittersweet? Like I’ve been working toward the end for so long, and now that it’s here, I don’t know how to feel. Excited? Tired? Nervous? Probably all of the above.

Anyway, I didn’t go anywhere today. No park, no outings, just me, my hoodie, some snacks, and a bunch of tabs open on my screen. But honestly, I’m proud of myself. One more step closer to graduation. One more day checked off the calendar.

We’re almost there.

May 12, 2025

Hey hey! Just popping in with a little life update because today was actually… peaceful? For the first time in forever? I finally had a rest day like a real one not the kind where you say you’re gonna relax and then end up stressing over 10 different things anyway. Nope. Today, I actually let myself breathe.

I slept in a little (bless), didn’t touch any school stuff, and just spent the day with my family. We made breakfast together nothing fancy, just pancakes and eggs but it was nice sitting at the table and not rushing off somewhere for once. My little brother was being extra goofy this morning, and honestly, his chaos was kind of the perfect mood boost.

Later in the afternoon, I took my cousins dog to the park, and it was so pretty outside. The sun was out but not too hot, and there was this nice breeze that made walking around actually enjoyable. I put in my earbuds, played some chill music, and just let my brain go quiet for a bit. Our dog had the best time, running around like he owned the place and sniffing literally everything like it was the most important job in the world.

It was one of those days that reminded me that I don’t always have to be doing something big or productive to feel okay. Just spending time with people I love (and the four-legged chaos gremlin) was enough. Definitely needed this reset.

Anyway, nothing wild to report, but sometimes the calm days are the best ones.

Update

As the school year is getting closer to the end date and so is my blog I want to make this last week a little different from 05/12-05/15

I will be doing daily posts about my day instead of a weekly updates.

Hope you enjoy the detailed days :)

Week 05/04-05/11

Guyss sooo this past week was crazy. Like actually nonstop, back-to-back chaos, but the fun kind (mostly). I still can’t believe everything that happened in just a few days—it kind of feels like a dream looking back. went by too quickly.

So I had my Chicago trip from May 7th to the 10th, and it was such a rush getting ready for it. I swear I was throwing clothes into my suitcase the night before like, “I’ll figure it out when I get there,” which is very on brand for me. (I love to plan my outfits) The flight was only an hour, but I was Lowkey terrified. Like I know planes are safe, but every little bump had me gripping the armrest like it was the end. My boyfriend was being cute and caring, of course, and kept trying to distract me with snacks and being silly. It worked, kinda.

Once we got there though? Worth it. Chicago was sooo cool. We walked around downtown, saw the Bean (obviously), took amazing pictures, ate yummy food and the river.... I can ´ t even explain the views. Loved it. The whole trip was just really fun and kind of romantic in a way I wasn’t expecting—just being in a new city with him, exploring, laughing, taking pics. Definitely a core memory.

Then literally the day we got back I had senior prom. Like, I barely had time to breathe before it was hair, makeup, and into the dress. I was running on zero sleep and way too much caffeine, but somehow pulled it together. Prom was actually magical—way better than I expected. Everyone looked so good, and the music was decent, and it was just such a good way to start wrapping up the year. We danced until our feet hurt.

Now I’m completely exhausted but weirdly happy. I needed a week like this, even if it left me totally wiped. Graduation’s getting closer and I’m trying to soak in all these moments while they’re still here.

More updates soon (once I sleep for like… 12 hours straight),

Prom :)

Week 04/27- 05/03

Okay, so… the end of the school year is creeping up so fast and I’m kind of freaking out?? Like, graduation is right there and I should be excited but I’m mostly just stressed out of my mind. There’s still so much to do final projects, last-minute assignments, random forms to fill out, and don’t even get me started on trying to figure out what I’m wearing on graduation day. I feel like my brain is running a thousand tabs at once and nothing is loading.

It’s weird because part of me is like, “yay, almost done!” but the other part is like, “how am I supposed to be a whole adult in like… so little?” I’ve been staying up late trying to finish school stuff, but my motivation is honestly hanging by a thread. Every time I cross something off my to-do list, three more things magically appear. It’s like academic whack-a-mole.

Also still no boyfriend. He’s still on his trip (which I know he deserves and I’m happy for him, blah blah), but I miss him a lot. I thought I’d be used to it by now, but not seeing him during all this stress just makes everything feel heavier. I could really use a hug and some ice cream and someone to just sit with me while I ugly cry over Google Docs.

Anyway, I’ve mostly just been at home, trying to keep up with online classes and not lose it completely. The finish line is so close, I just need to survive a little longer. I know it’ll feel worth it once I walk across that stage, but right now it’s a lot.

One more week (ish). We got this… right?

Talk soon :(

Week 04/20- 04/26

Sooo this week was kinda… meh. Not terrible, but not amazing either. Just one of those weeks where everything feels a little off and your brain’s like, “Nope, not today.”

First of all, my boyfriend left on a trip (just for a week, but still) and I haven’t seen him since the weekend, which has been rough. I didn’t realize how much I was used to having him around until he wasn’t. I miss just hanging out and talking about random stuff. We’ve been texting but it’s not the same, and I lowkey hate how clingy I feel, but here we are.

On top of that, online school has been seriously draining me. I feel like I’m constantly staring at a screen, half-zoning out, trying to keep up with deadlines and not lose my mind. There’s just something about doing school from home that makes everything feel ten times harder, especially when you’re already stressed. I’ve had a few late nights this week just catching up on work and trying not to cry over dumb discussion posts and glitchy video lectures.

But it’s not all bad—I volunteered at a chili dinner event this week, which honestly helped me reset a bit since I saw friends , and even though it’s kinda exhausting, it also feels good to do something that isn’t just about me. I helped pick up trays and sit people and hand out salad bowls, it was sweet seeing people smile and just be grateful. It reminded me that even when I feel overwhelmed, there’s still ways to be useful and kind.

Anyway, I’m just trying to get through the next few days, hopefully catch up on sleep, and not spiral over dumb stuff. Fingers crossed next week’s a little better.

Catch you later,

week 04/13- 04-19

Heyyy, so here’s my little weekly recap (even though I lowkey lost track of what day it even is). Life’s been kinda busy but also chill in some weird, chaotic balance, if that makes sense.

School’s been a lot. I had a bunch of assignments due this week, and naturally I waited until like the night before to start most of them. Regret? Yes. Will I do it again next week? Also yes. But I’m actually kinda proud of myself because I finished this big essay that I’ve been procrastinating on for weeks. I even edited it and everything. Growth?

Anyway, outside of school work stuff, the weather has been sooo nice lately, like finally warm enough to go outside without freezing. So I went to the park a few times with my siblings. It was honestly really cute my little brother brought his soccer ball and somehow convinced me to run around and play goalie for like half an hour (which I absolutely suck at, btw). We got ice cream after, and I forgot how good plain vanilla soft serve hits when it’s warm out.

I’ve also just been trying to get back into reading for fun again. I started this book that’s been sitting on my shelf for ages, and I actually like it so far? It’s nice to do something that isn’t scrolling on my phone for once.

That’s pretty much it for this week. Nothing super crazy happened, but it’s been a nice mix of being productive and just existing. Which I’ll take.

Until next week's update,

Week 04/06-04/12

So… I turned 18 during this week. April 9th. That still sounds fake to say out loud. Like, I’m legally an adult now? Girl, what?

My actual birthday celebration was on the 12th, and it was honestly really sweet. Nothing over-the-top, just people I care about, good food, and a whole lot of laughing. I felt really loved that day, and I didn’t even realize how much I needed that feeling until it hit me. The little things made it special cute messages, hugs that lasted a second longer, and a few gifts that were so me it made me emotional. shout out to one of my best friends for getting me that interesting looking perfume bottle.

It’s funny, though. I thought turning 18 would feel… louder? Like I’d wake up different or suddenly feel super mature. But I still feel like me , just with a few more memories and maybe a little more confidence. Oh and certainly more thoughts. But there’s something quiet about it, in a good way. Like I’m stepping into something new, but still holding onto all the parts of me that got me here.

The rest of the week was a mix of cozy moments, random thoughts, and just trying to soak it all in. I caught myself smiling at nothing a few times, which feels like a good sign.

So yeah. Eighteen happened. And while I’m still figuring it all out, I’m kind of proud of where I’m at. Here’s to this next chapter and whatever it ends up looking like.
