Omg. I have been so crazed with school, work, hw, college apps, and everything in between. But hi!! I’m here!! I did my CSU college apps on Monday, so that’s one thing off my checklist. I’m so glad my class got cancelled today because I was able to work on the rest of my apps today. I started the Common App (for private schools), so that’s good. I’m just stressing because I have to write my personal statements, do my financial aid, math disability thing, update my resume, and AHH I can’t even think of what else rn. I am literally laying in bed as I write this (mind you, it is 8:50 pm). <br> BUT, to be on the bright side, I do love being productive. I’ve also been having the BEST workouts lately! Idk if it’s because I’m stressed and I’m letting it out (lmao) or what, but I’m not mad about it.

The Gold // The Grey

Gold = I beat my 2 mi run by a min and a half today!! Grey = homework overload, and then some

Happpiii Saturday! I had work this morning, so I did some fun makeup, and finallyyyy wore a shirt I've had hanging in my closet for like a year at this point. I actually really liked my outfit today, so that automatically calls for a good day, right? Work was really good today! I had great clients, good convos with my coworkers, and my lunch was SO good. After work, I went home to chill/ make some dinner before going to Tess's (my other best friend) parent's birthday party. Once I was all ready, I headed over to her house. When I got there, there was another lady who pulled up at the same time. She went in first, and once I knocked on the door, she answered. She told me no one was home?? She then said she was going to "look for them", butttt she never came back. After calling and texting Tess asking her where the hell everyone was, she of course took 10 years to respond. So, I literally sat in her kitchen twiddling my damn thumbs for a good 20 min. I swear to God I was being pranked at this point. That is until Tess FINALLY responded as asked me where I was. She then laughed and realized she forgot to tell me the party was at her parent's friends house 🙃 Once I arrived to the right address (second time's a charm?) it was so effing cute. There were twinkle lights, little signs leading up the driveway, a Curry Up Now food truck, Burning Man artwork, and so much more. Btw, this was all in the cutest (and nicest) barn I've ever seen. They even had a live band performing! And of course a full bar, which is always oneeee hunniddd (I say as a literally barely drank a glass of wine). They also had an indoor slide that took you downstairs (because, who doesn't?). It was so fun! I had a really great time. Happy birthday, Nance Pants (Nancy) and Ray! 💖💖💖

when Tess forgets to tell you the party isn't at her house and you're sitting in the kitchen by yourself for 20 min :))

Bob Dylan inspired

Again, I got this off of my other page. It's currently my phone's background rn. I find it to be so simple, but so inspiring

Soooo, this morning was rough with my stomachache and pains. I was already stressed out with the amount of hw I had to do over the weekend, but couldn't because of work. So, this was kinda the last thing I was hoping for. When I feel down, stressed, or just off, I always call one of my best friends, Chloe. She helped me to sort of relax and clear my head. After work, I decided to at least run some errands so that I didn't feel as unproductive. After finishing up the last of my errands, I had to get gas. When I arrived to the gas station, I overheard a woman asking the cashier for help with her car. I told her I could help and that I had coolant in my car that I could give her. She took me out to her car to show me what was wrong. She said her "check engine" and "coolant" light had been on for days. Another woman came by to help, and so did her daughter. All together, we got her car up and running again. I kept telling her, "you were at the right place, at the right time. We all were". I love moments of realization like this. It genuinely made me smile and thank God for helping her, and even using us (me and the other two women) to help. I always feel my best when I know I've helped someone else. And, tbh, after this, my day drastically became better. God is good.

Gold = I helped this woman (and kids) with her car that was over heading at the gas station. Another woman and I taught her how to put coolant in, as well as how to check her oil. Strangers helping strangers is so uplifting. We need more people like that in the world. Grey = a really SHITTY day for my UC. I wanted to die in the morning while on my way to work

I found this on my other tumblr account, and I thought it was so sweet. It's always nice to hear 💛💛💛 fun fact: I save lil sayings/pics like this on my phone and computer to save as my wallpaper/screensaver as a friendly reminder to myself

Hiii! Today was a chill day. It was my last testing session for my math disability case that my counselor and I are building. It’s a long story, but basically I have a learning disability (comprehension), and also a specific math disability. The test is a two part test, each being 4 hours long, and today was my last session. Yay! Russell is who I’ve been taking the tests with. He is so great. We clicked instantly, and he honestly inspires me so much. He really, genuinely sees potential in me and truly believes in a successful future for me. It’s the best energy to be around when you’re planning your future. I am so glad to have met him and LeeAnn (my disability counselor). After the testing session, I had my Comm class which of course went well. Tbh, I am STRESSINNN. I have so much hw it’s not even funny. I am working tonight, as well as all weekend, so I’m going to save Sunday to finally knock it all out. I like being busy, but fuck lmao I need to cool it. I need to learn to take a break once in a while. I think everyone should!

Today's gold = I mean, I liked my outfit. That counts for something ?? Today's grey = not being able to take work off

This week is going by so fast! I swore today was Thursday. Anyways, I had to draw Spider-Man for my art class ??? Not to be dramatic, but it was the epitome of what I don't ever want to draw again. We we won't discuss what the end result was. I got some hw done, but was really hoping to get all of it done. I'll finish the rest this weekend. Ooh! I went to spin class, which was fun because it's been a few months since I've been. It was a fun little workout. The instructor was so enthusiastic, I loved it. I ended the day with a nice, warm shower, comfy (and cute) PJ's, and the Giants Game. Chill night for me ✌🏼️

Happy Tuesday! I had a great workout this morning before class and work. I love starting my days off with a run. Idk why, but running early morning when it’s still gloomy out is my faaaave. I find it so soothing and inspiring. Anyway, class went well! It was my Communications class, which I effing love. Later on was work time. Today I took care of the girls again. While the oldest was at practice, her friend’s dad and I got talking, and he was informing me on the knee dangers of running. You can imagine how painful this conversation was for me, considering I've been a runner since I was 7. Anyway, he brought "Ashtanga Yoga" to my attention. He said it has changed his life. I was intrigued, but also have always wondered about "Bikram Yoga". I have to do my research, but tbh...I can't not run, sooo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm down to do both! We'll see
