~ 100 Days Of Productivity Challenge 2/100~

05-24-2025 // 2:30pm

Woke up at 7am as usual and went to the library at around 9am, stayed until 1:30 pm and then came back home to have lunch. I actually did some good progress on the coding assignment so I’m very happy but I’m still at 1/3 of the total so i gotta keep grinding! Going bouldering this afternoon so I hope it’s gonna be fun.

back at barnes and noble

hi internet people :)

the burnout is hitting me hard today. i don't know if it is work or that this material is getting more difficult but doesn't really matter. we're back at barnes and noble today to knock out a few more sections of css and js. i plan on staying until they close bc i will not do anything if i'm at home. please don't scream at me for the drink, b&n is one of the few places i can be without getting overstimulated easily.

forest time: 1 hr 25min as of 3:24 pm | actual productivity time is about 2.5 hr.

12.05.2025—late night studying. can’t believe there’s only 2 weeks left of the semester. truly wild

Almost done with this semester (classes at least). It's hard to be negative when the days have been so warm and sunny and when there's a book fair coming up.

Hello Fellow Students,

As the second semester approaches, I'm gearing up for another round of classes starting on the 16th. While I'm excited to dive back into my studies, I'm also taking this time to recharge my batteries, especially since I'm battling a bit of a sore throat. Don't worry though, I'm keeping my spirits high and staying motivated by taking care of my health and indulging in some good reads, like Julie Clark's gripping novel, "The Lies I Tell."

Remember, self-care and motivation are key components of a successful college experience. So, take some time for yourself, stay focused on your goals, and let's make this semester a great one! 💪 📚📖✨

hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset

the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years

taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult

at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)

'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65

it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age

it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.

you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, be fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.

young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!

there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big

Started my day working on a writing project I love but has no publisher. Fingers crossed that it will get a contract. Someone came to see my apartment today and hopefully take it over. It's a bittersweet moment, because I feel like I just arrived in my uni town and get to fully experience it after my exams took over my life for a good two years. And now I have to leave again 🥲

All the best

I want so many trinkets and clips and bits on my traveler’s journal that it takes me 5 minutes to even get into it for me to actually write in it.
