I slept at literally 3 am yesterday because I was not tired for some reason so I just decided to fold all my clothes because seeing them messy was bothering me. This is actually very out of character for me as I am not a messy person, but I am definitely not the type who always has their clothes folded perfectly or is super nit-picky about their room. So, it makes me wonder if something else was subconsciously going on in my head that led me to do such an out-of-character thing. Anyways. This led to me waking up way later than usual. I normally get a lot of anxiety if I wake up and the clock is on double digits, which was the case for me today. But recently I have been trying to remind myself that it is perfectly normal to sleep in and that it is a way of self-care, and my body communicating to me what it lacks. I have work today from 12:30-4:00 which I am excited about because I genuinely love my job, and then I am meeting my twin and big from Chi O at Kerkhoff for a little catch-up session. I have not hung out with them pretty much all quarter which is kind of sad because I am actually pretty close with both of them. So, I am excited about that today too. I also want to squeeze going into the gym at some point today, but I think it is going to be after our Mock Interviews which I am honestly fine with. I love going to the gym at night, so I am really looking forward to that. Today is shaping up to be a good day, and I hope this mentality stays!

Today has been a tough day. I feel like pledging and Hell Week have definitely taken their toll on me and I am ready for the quarter to end. I got a bad grade back on one of my assignments dropping one of my courses grades by a full letter grade. Its honestly kinda sucked trying to figure out how Im balancing all my work. I feel like I have pulled so many all nighters this quarter and put in so much effort into school, pledging, my social life, job searches etc... and yet I feel like I haven't fully accomplished to the best of my ability in any of these facets. I can honestly say that I have tried my best though and I am trying to work through everything one problem at a time. One a different note, I cant believe that its almost the end of my first year at UCLA, today was the final day of material for two of my courses which was absolutely wacky. I called my parents today and we spoke about me moving out talking through our plans for the day of move out and then about me coming back home. Its gonna be crazy leaving college and all the friends and relationships that I have started here for 4 months. I hope that I will still remain close with a lot of these friends when I return in the fall for my second year of college. It will definitely be nice seeing high school friends and family at home though. Either way, I am for sure glad that Spring quarter is coming to its end.

Definitely an interesting day. I was supposed to get a lot done but I really didn’t. I know I am going to regret that later. I have been just lollygagging all day. I laid in bed and watched a bunch of How I Met Your Mother and Tiktoks. I also studied up for my mock interview later. At some point I decided to get up before lunch was over, so I headed over to BCaf for some food. I just got a caesar wrap and an acai bowl. It was my first acai bowl ever. I think it was pretty mid. It probably was because it's from BCaf though. I also ate the bananas, even though I hate them. I was like maybe I just have been telling myself I hate them for years. Here is my deepest secret. I don’t actually hate them, I just don’t care for them. The deep, burning, passion I have for hating them is just a facade I put up to be different. I can eat them, it’s just not a hobby of mine. People that eat bananas like no tomorrow scare me. Anyways, I also got a red velvet muffin. It looked so delicious in the fridge, but alas, it was kinda bad. The frosting was kinda runny, and the cake itself was subpar. Lowkey was disappointed. After my mediocre lunch, I walked to Rolfe to meet with Aya and walked to Westwood and talked. It was nice and I like spending time with her. My mock interview was okay, I felt like the questions I wanted to answer were cut off for the sake of time, and I didn’t effectively sell myself. I am going to eat dinner now and probably procrastinate more. Good night.

Last daily journal ever  I decided to write this one early because I'm procrastinating doing work that I should actually be doing right now. I've been in isolation for 7 hours and 42 minutes and I am already feeling like I'm going insane just because it is so mind-numbingly boring in here. When I found out I had Covid this afternoon I felt really awful about it partially because I didn't want to inconvenience everyone and also because my friend was supposed to fly out and visit me today and now he not only cannot see me, but he also cannot get a refund on his ticket. I just feel like this week was the most inconvenient time for me to get it, so finding out I have it was really frustrating. Once I got to my isolation dorm I tried putting the sheets that they gave me on and the fitted sheet didn't even fit, so I think I'm just gonna sleep on the bare mattress. It's okay though, I feel like maybe isolation will be good for me to be alone with myself and not be constantly surrounded by other people. I plan on doing some more homework before watching Gossip Girl and going to bed. Tomorrow I'm going to prep for mock interviews all day and then I also have a zoom meeting for my travel abroad trip tomorrow afternoon as well. While I'm in isolation I'm going to attempt to get a lot of work done that I need to do. Honestly though, given the fact that I barely did anything in the 7 hours and 42 minutes I've been in here, I do not know if that's going to happen. It's definitely a goal though. |

Today, I woke up at 9:45. I slept in because I only had one class and it was in the afternoon. I finished my paddle, which I had been working on very late last night. In total, it took me about 13 hours to complete, but I am super happy wits ah the results. I hope my big likes it. In between the time I spent finishing my paddle, I worked out. I went to the gym with my roommate Stella, which was really stress relieving. We did glutes today, and it made me feel weak. I was super sore afterwards, and I worked out for a little over an hour. First, I did hip thrusts. Then, I moved on to raised weighted dumbbell squats. I used a thirty pound weight for this, and I feel like I could have gone higher. Then, I did bar squats, and I was only able to squat 65, which is not ideal. Still, I did four rounds of that. Then, I finished with Russian deadlifts. After the gym, I ate lunch at bplate. It was really good. Then, I finished my paddle. After this, I went to Anderson, where I got a muffin. They had no croissants left, which was sad. I hope they have them tomorrow. Then, I went to my last stat 10 class for the quarter. I am so glad to be done. Then, I went back and prepared for my mock interview. I got the mock job, but everyone in my group did so well. Any of them deserved the job just as much if not more. The, I got dinner with my big at epicuria, which was yummy also.

Today has been so long. I woke up and had work at 8 am. I woke up at my first alarm but I was not able to get up fully. I also get really upset because my roommate closes the window in the morning and the room gets hot so I just want some air but I can never have air. I also want to go home this weekend because my family is having an event for memorial day weekend and I really want just go home. I was not made a strong soldier I crumble really fast and this is one of those weeks that seems to go by so fast which is crazy. I am also so excited for my sisters graduation. I am so happy for her and very thing she has done truly a super star. She is always helping me. But today my friend that is obsessed with Harry as much as me went to the pop up because she has an amex card so she got let in early and I gave her money so she can buy me something. I got the Los angeles City box. I am so excited. I almost even bought the tickets but my dad got mad at me because I do not have the money like that right now. But getting the tickets I should have at least tried because now I am regretting my decision of not trying. Like I literally had a code. But other than that I hope tomorrow is a better day and honestly I just want to be done with everything and get my money up in the summer.

Today was a pretty stressful day. I woke up early to make it to class at 10pm. I lowkey thought we had to go cause I though my professor was going to hand out a huge assignment and it turns out that she handed it out last week, so that was whack cause if I knew I wouldn’t have gone to class oopsies. Anyways after that I went home to prepare for my mock interview. I spent about 2 hours preparing before I had to head out to go shopping with Cya. Shopping was pretty fun, I saw so many things that I wanted for myself but I wasn’t there for me so that was difficult hehehe. After I came back home and spent another hour preparing for my mock interview. I went to mock interview and I feel that it went pretty well in my opinion, but again, don’t want to overhype myself, that’s a decision for the active body to make. Afterwards I had to run to work because my shift started at 7pm but my boss let me come in later because of my interview, he’s super chill, I love him. Work was stressful because the sugar machine was broken and then our printer machine broke down. It was so bad. On top of all that we had our emergency meeting about our pledge brother Colton’s situation. That whole situation had me pretty stress and lowkey pressed cause it kinda feels like the active body is just wiping their hands clean of a problem that goes far beyond and is way deeper than Colton alone. Anyways I came home after a long and terrible day at work. I’m gonna spend the night painting with my roommate so that should be fun and calming. Overall it was a really stressful and upsetting day, I hope spending the night painting makes it better.

Today I actually managed to wake up when my alarm rang. I haven’t woken up at 10am in a while and it was nice to get my day started early. I am a night owl but waking up a little early from time to time definitely feels nice. It gives me the feeling that there’s more time in the day although that’s not necessarily the case. After I woke up, I went to my first class of the day. This was the last lecture before my final next week so I knew it was going to be important. I did fairly well on the midterm for this class so I hope that I will be able to say the same for the final. I really want to do well and somewhat raise my GPA because it’s definitely been dipping this year. After that, I had some time before my next class so I went to BCafe for a smoothie. It turns out that there were no smoothies today, only an açaí bowl. I ended up eating that instead. I’ve tried a lot of açaí bowls so I would describe this one as mediocre. It was ok and I could eat it again but there are definitely better options out there. Still, it’s been a while since I had an açaí bowl so it was nice to eat it. After that, I went to my chem lab. We ended really early today because my partner and I decided to finish the postlab outside of class time. This gave me more time to prepare for the mock interviews so I appreciated that we left early. A few more things happened in my day but I’m a bit tired so I won’t describe them. Overall, it wasn’t the best day but it also wasn’t the worst.

Today on May 25, I woke up very late due to folding all my laundry last night until 5 in the morning. This caused me to wake up at around 2 in the afternoon, right in time to eat a sandwich at The Study since it is the least busiest time. My go-to sandwich is toasted sourdough bread with pesto spread and mayonnaise. I personally enjoy my avocados so of course I have to include avocado as one of my choices of meat and bacon as the other. I believe bacon and avocados compliment each other very well where the avocado balances the salinity within the bacon and adds a fresh taste. To maintain my balanced diet, I also like to add a combination of fresh veggies of tomatoes, lettuce and banana peppers for a little kick of spice. After eating my sandwich outdoors to absorb my daily vitamin D from sitting outside for approximately 30 minutes, I headed back to my dorm and began to explore some new hobbies. One hobby I saw on social media was based on business in which I would profit from doing certain activities. Another endeavor that interested me was learning how to perform basic dental care for small animals, specifically dogs and perhaps gerbils. I then decided on starting a crocheting journey so I can create soft and small bees for my dogs and I to enjoy. I then joined a zoom meeting where I was experiencing extremely bad internet connection which overall ruined my day for the next week.

Today, I woke up after getting two hours of sleep. Weirdly enough, I was not as tired as I expected to be so I went to my two discussions in the morning. I kinda blanked out in my first discussion, but I was pretty productive in my second discussion. I ended up applying to some jobs on my computer. Then, I met up with my friend to get lunch from B-Plate. The selection at B-Plate was pretty good today, and the coconut yogurt is always a bonus. I then went back to my room and took a long nap. It was about two hours long and I did not want to wake back up once I laid down. I then saw Vidya real quick before I met up with some of my pledge bros to go shopping. I ended up going to a few different stores and then I went back to campus. I ended up getting an acai bowl from B-Cafe with my twin. I then went back up to my room and prepared for my interview. I have no idea what I did after I got out of the zoom, I am way too tired to remember. However, I did facetime a few of my pbros from the pledge class. Once I left the call, I ended up going and getting more food at The Study. I tried something new today and it was pretty good. I then went back to my dorm building, where I now plan on drawing.

Today was an alright day. I woke up at around 12 PM once again and faffed around for a bit once again. I then went to Bplate for lunch, which was amazing. It was one of the best lunches I’ve ever had during my UCLA career thus far. Exquisite. After lunch I went shopping with some of my P-bros to get gifts for our Bigs and A-Bigs for Active Appreciation. It sucks that Olivia is down with Covid because it’s gonna be harder for us to execute the event efficiently with just me leading it. Oh well. I’ll probably figure it out. After shopping I got an acai bowl at Bcaf with my twin Juliana. I wanted a smoothie but they didn’t have any, and so I had to settle. After that I went to my room and prepared a bit for the mock interview. I accidentally fell asleep and luckily woke up in time to change into business professional clothing and log into Zoom. The interview went well. I somehow landed the job, which was nice to hear. Afterwards, I got food at the Study with my twin and am now planning to do some homework at night. I’m super behind. But it’ll all work out I guess.
