Would anyone be interested in seeing a day in the life at uni? Thinking of stuff that might motivate me to study more.

Applying for jobs these days is mentally exhausting me. It seems like at this point that for every application I send out I'm getting 5 rejection letters in return, and my graduation is really soon and I honestly dont know what to do anymore

I also have a job interview this afternoon right before work and honestly, I just want a break from being a responsible adult

Feeling very productive with my studies this semester. Really happy with my grades so far. Such a difference taking classes that you're actually interested in makes.

My stepdad was taken to hospital this morning for a suspected heart attack and although hes been discharged and is doing better, I'm scared. I'm scared cause it was caused by an infection from the flu that he has that he caught from me and that's all my mum would go on about, how I caused it. And I'm scared because I know it isn't my fault but the way everything has happened I feel like it is.

Revision for my exam on Tuesday (worth 45% of my grade) has made me have to remake my flashcards onto sturdier paper because my gross but anxious sweaty hands and crying out of nervousness ruined the last set. Yay!

Spending my winter break in Europe since I have no exams this term. If anyone has recommendations for things to do feel free to lmk ❤

Hope everyone is having a stress free exam season

Vented on Twitter about my chronic pain and this RANDOM dude tries to give me unwanted unwarranted and completely WRONG AND DANGEROUS medical advice as if I was 1) asking for advice and 2)willing to take advice from internet strangers and not fully qualified medical professionals.

I understand that many people cannot afford proper medical care but NEVER get medical advice from unqualified internet people. If anything ask a pharmacist their advice so that you know that what you take will not react with any other medications or conditions you may have.

I am grateful that my country has a really good public health system and I have access to amazing specialists who help me manage my condition even if there are still bad days where I feel like no matter what I do I am still in pain. And I will forever be grateful to these people for putting up with my pain in the ass self when I'm miserable at meetings and checkups.

TLDR: GET MEDICAL ADVICE FROM MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS

Chem notes for my upcoming practical exam. So nervous but I get to take handwritten notes in which gives me reassurance.

Mind, Body, Soul

I went to my first yoga class today. Being honest I was terrible.

I put myself through an hour of full body stretching and balance poses, two things my body was not prepared for. But now, 6 hours later, I can see the appeal of the nightmare.

For the first time in a long time my residual back and knee injuries haven't bothered me all day, my shoulder hasn't ached, the only pain I've had was my still injured foot.

For the first time in 3 months I feel clear and focused, but also I have this feeling that when I go to bed tonight I could finally get some well deserved peaceful sleep.

Now I'm not saying that yoga is a magical cure to life problems, but if ONE session has made a difference for me, I may as well book in for a daily class, hopefully being able to heal my body inside and out with help from an hour of what my body considers torture in the 1st degree. Because while I hate the action I love the results, and that seems good enough for me.

Change

Today I met an old friend from high school. We haven't seen each other in two years before today and it was strange. Life pulled us in two directions, hers toward having a child and having to make her life about those around her and growing through external forces. She showed me that I had changed since we last saw each other. Parts from internal self discovery and parts from external experiences and trauma.

When we are around the same people for long periods of time we stop noticing the changes of ourselves and of them. But sometimes it takes a person like her to look at me and say "you've changed" for me to see it. Sometimes you need to step back and see how you've grown and become different from that barely 18 year old girl who had no idea what the world held and what the universe had out there for her to discover in her journey.

This morning I was told that I had changed and I know that some parts of my life will remain with me forever, but some parts I will shed along my journey like points on a map to show where I've been and how far I have come from that girl who looked out at the world and hoped to make a change. And that's not to say my journey is ending, I hope to have years of growth and changes to come but to look back and see that I have come so far in a short 2 years is amazing. Change is not to be feared. Change is a sign of growth and experience and hope. I hope we all get told the words "you've changed" and I hope everyone has the opportunity to be able to reply "I hope so".
