Hi! I'm Shwetha... and this blog might be unhinged

Hi! I'm Shwetha!

I'm a second year life sciences student, a dog mom (Tommy = loml) and a lover of biology.

I started this blog because my brain is 90% bio facts and 10% spiraling. And honestly, that needs an outlet.

This isn’t your typical "studyblr" or a run-of-the-mill productivity blog. It’s more like a delightful blend of:

college rants

quirky science obsessions

notes to my future self

emotional meltdowns in pretty fonts

and maybe a few posts dedicated to how adorable my dog is.

I am fluent in English, தமிழ் and ಕನ್ನಡ

I like listening to Bollywood songs and a few English artists.

I'm introverted, but not permanently.

Here to push myself, socialise, and see what the world actually looks like outside my room.

Also, I’m a proud Hufflepuff.💛🖤

I’m trained in Bharatanatyam and Carnatic music for 10 yrs.

Proud RCB fan❤️🖤

Fandoms I like: Harry Potter and Percy Jackson

If you’re here with shady vibes or bad intentions… keep scrolling, this mess is for good energy only 💅

this is a safe space <3

If you’re homophobic, racist, transphobic, or run nsfw blogs, please don’t interact.

So, why "Error 404: Life Not Found"?

Because there are days when life feels like a broken link.

And blogging about it?

Just a tad more productive than sobbing in the biology lab. (And I mean just a lil.)

If you’re into:

oversharing

soft chaos

mildly educational rabbit holes

or just hanging out with another Gen Z girl trying to navigate life…

Welcome to the blog!

Buckle up; it’s going to be a fun ride. No seatbelts needed.

Day 15/365

Today started with a bit of panic because I was almost late to class, but thankfully I made it on time.

Classes were interesting, and I came home earlier than usual. After lunch, I finished my PowerPoint presentation, completed some chores, and worked on an assignment. The rest of the evening was pretty relaxed—I had dinner and slept early.

Nothing particularly exciting happened today, but it felt good to get things done and stay on top of my work.

Rating: 7.5/10

Improvement: Manage my morning routine better so I don't have to rush before class.

Day 14/365

I forgot to update Day 13, but here we are.

Today was a lazy Sunday. I didn't study much and spent quite a bit of time scrolling on my phone. Most of the day was slow and relaxed, and I got to spend time with my family.

The best part of the day was seeing Tommy doing better. After the stress of the past few days, that was a huge relief.

Towards the evening, I worked on a PowerPoint presentation, had dinner, and slept early. I also started watching Stranger Things and I'm currently on Season 1, Episode 3.

Not the most productive day, but sometimes a quiet day is exactly what you need.

Rating: 7/10

Improvement: Reduce mindless scrolling and spend a little more time on studies, even on weekends.

Day 12/365 (late entry)

Today was a fairly normal day at college. We had the orientation for Foundation French classes, which gave us an idea of what to expect in the course.

I came home late, expecting a regular evening, but the rest of the day took a different turn. Tommy became very sick, and it was hard to focus on anything else. Most of my attention and energy went into making sure he was okay.

Some days aren't about productivity, studying, or checking things off a to-do list. Some days are about being there for the ones we love.

Rating: 5/10

Improvement: Take things one step at a time and focus on what matters most in difficult moments.

[shwethasbrainunfiltered]

Day 11/365

Today was a pretty decent day.

Classes went well, and one of the highlights was meeting a friend after a long time and catching up. We also had Skill Development classes, where I learned the basics of writing a resume, which felt useful and relevant for the future.

After coming home, I mostly relaxed and didn't get much done. It wasn't my most productive day, but I enjoyed taking things a little slow. Had dinner and slept early.

Not every day has to be packed with achievements. Sometimes a calm day is enough.

Rating: 6.5/10

Improvement: Use my free time more intentionally instead of letting the day slip away.

[shwethasbrainunfiltered]

Day 10/365

Logging this a little late, but better late than never.

Today was a fairly normal college day. I attended classes, met a few neighbours from my area at Christ, and spent the day learning as usual. The classes were interesting, and I made proper notes, which should make revision easier later on.

I also worked on some assignments and managed to sleep early at the end of the day.

Nothing major happened, but it was a steady and productive day.

Rating: 7/10

Improvement: Stay consistent with assignments and daily revision.

[shwethasbrainunfiltered]

Day 9/365

Today was a fairly ordinary day. Most of my classes were a bit boring, but I enjoyed Animal Physiology and Forensic Science as usual.

I was given a few assignments and also submitted my records, which felt good to get done. After coming home, I had quite a few chores to complete, so the day went by pretty quickly.

One thing I'm happy about is that I ate clean throughout the day and stayed on track with my goals.

Nothing extraordinary happened, but it was a productive and balanced day overall.

Rating: 7.5/10

Improvement: Avoid using my phone immediately after waking up.

[shwethasbrainunfiltered]

Day 8/365

Missed updating yesterday.

It was a regular day with classes, studying, and the usual routine with records completion. Nothing particularly memorable happened, but I showed up, got through the day, and kept moving forward.

Not every day has to be exciting to count.

Rating:7 /10

Improvement: Be more consistent with documenting my journey.

[shwethasbrainunfiltered]

Day 7/365

Today was different from my usual routine.

I went to Church Street with a group of friends I've only known for a short time. We spent some time exploring, waiting to bowl at Amoeba, and doing a bit of window shopping when the queue got too long. I also had a chicken roll, which was a small surprise considering everyone expects me to be "on a diet" all the time.

The day itself was good, but my brain wasn't very kind to me. I found myself constantly comparing myself to other people and picking apart my appearance. On the way home, a few comments from my brother about how I looked in photos stuck with me more than they should have, and I spent a lot of time criticizing myself instead of enjoying the memories I had made.

When I got home, I changed, worked out, completed some record work, and went to bed early.

Today wasn't perfect, but I showed up for myself anyway.

Rating: 6.5/10

Improvement: Be kinder to myself and focus less on comparisons.

I am so thankful that books & reading exist

Day 5/365 (5.6.'26)

Today was a pretty nice day overall.

My first class wasn't until 9:45 AM, so I got ready at a relaxed pace instead of rushing. We had Forensic Science, which was a bit boring, but not the kind of boring that makes you want to fall asleep.

Since it was Environment Day, we also had a drawing-related activity. I drew something based on habitat loss, which was a nice break from regular classes. Later, we had two hours of Angiosperm Lab.

One thing I wasn't too happy about today was my impulsive eating. Not my best day food-wise, but I'm trying not to dwell on it too much.

After coming home, I relaxed, worked out for a while, had dinner, went for a walk, and slept early.

Rating: 7/10

Improvement: Be more mindful of impulsive eating and make healthier choices during the day.

Day 4/365

Woke up on time today, but ended up rushing while getting ready. Thankfully, I still made it to college on time.

The day started with Animal Physiology Lab, where we observed slides of the kidney, liver, and reproductive organs and made notes.

We also had two hours of Forensic Science and an Animal Physiology class where I learned about bone remodeling, which was actually a pretty interesting topic.

Spent some time with friends before heading home. After lunch, I helped my mom with a lot of chores, worked out, did some revision, had biryani for dinner, went for a walk with Tommy, and spent the rest of the evening unwinding.

Overall, a balanced day with a mix of academics, responsibilities, exercise, and relaxation.

Rating: 7.5/10

Improvement: Manage my morning routine better so I don't have to rush before college.

[shwethasbrainunfiltered]

Day 3/365

Had a late class today, so I got to college without rushing. We had AI in Biological Sciences, where the faculty gave us a few assignments and the class was actually more interesting than I expected.

Later, in Angiosperm Taxonomy and Systematics, we learned about leaf shapes and phyllotaxy. Animal Physiology was split into two sessions: one on nutrition and types of nutrition, and another on the skeletal system and bones. The bones lecture felt rushed, so I revised the topic again after coming home.

One of the best parts of the day was meeting an old friend and catching up after a long time.

After college, I had lunch, revised some topics, completed a few notes, had dinner, and went for a walk. Not my most productive day, but I still managed to stay on top of my work.

Rating: 7/10

Improvement:

Focus more in class, reduce phone usage, and spend more time studying.

[shwethasbrainunfiltered]

Day 2/365

Woke up early and reached campus on time today. Small win, but a win nonetheless.

Classes started with AI in Biological Sciences. Not gonna lie, it was a little boring, but I'm hoping it gets more interesting as the semester goes on. Then we had Angiosperm Systematics and Taxonomy. The faculty seems really strict, but the subject itself is actually pretty interesting.

Forensic Science was the most exciting class of the day. We learned the basics of crime scene investigation, which was pretty cool.

We also had an orientation session with our HOD, who shared some valuable insights on the new semester.

After coming home, I had lunch and tried my best to fight the afternoon slump. I revised what was taught in class, finished some chores, had dinner, spent time with Tommy, revised for the next day's classes, and did my skincare before winding down for the night.

Overall, a productive day. Nothing extraordinary happened, but I showed up and stayed consistent.

Rating: 8.5/10

Improvement: Maintain today's consistency and keep building good habits one day at a time.

[shwethasbrainunfiltered]

Day 1/365

College reopened today. Met my friends after a very long time. We got introduced to the new subjects and faculty, but no actual teaching happened yet, so most classes were pretty introductory.

Had the orientation session too. Attended it (more like dozed off).

Came home, had lunch, spent some time with Tommy, took a nap, got my workout done, went through the syllabus, had dinner, finished a few chores and called it a day.

Nothing extraordinary happened, but it felt nice to be back on campus. A new semester always feels like a fresh start.

Rating: 7/10 ⭐

What I could improve:

Wake up a little earlier.

Drink more water during college.

Start reviewing class notes on the same day.

Hello, everyone.

Welcome to The Character Development Project.

For the next 365 days, I'm going to document my life, one day at a time.

Not because my life is particularly exciting, and not because I'm trying to become the most productive person on earth. I just want to pay more attention to the days as they pass.

Every day, I'll write about what happened, what made me smile, what challenged me, and what I learned about myself.

Maybe I'll become more disciplined. Maybe I'll become more confident. Maybe I'll just collect a year's worth of memories.

Either way, this is Day 0.

Here's to 365 days of growth, mistakes, small victories, unexpected plot twists, and hopefully some decent character development.

See you tomorrow.

— Shwetha.
