ways to bring joy: - Create a "comfort corner" with soft textures, gentle lighting, and calming scents - Build a personal playlist of songs that remind you of happy memories - Keep a collection of essential oils or candles that boost different moods - Practice mindful eating with favorite foods, focusing on textures and flavors - Take "sensory breaks" to feel sunshine, listen to birds, or watch clouds move - Create a touch-comfort box with different textures (silk, wool, smooth stones) - Use color therapy in your workspace with items that make you smile - Start a "curiosity journal" where you write down interesting questions - Watch educational videos about topics completely outside your field - Create small challenges like learning one new word in a different language daily - Play strategy games or solve puzzles that make you feel accomplished - Join online communities discussing fascinating topics - Create mind maps connecting different concepts you're learning - Write creative interpretations of your academic materials
Pen to paper, ideas flowing- nothing beats the focus of a good study session
Just a chill day of looking over notes and making new ones. Iām moving into contract this week which is BY FAR my weakest subject, since I studied it 3 years ago at this point (what?!)
Wish me luck āļø

āĖļ½”āāāļ½”Ėā winter term recap āĖļ½”āāāļ½”Ėā
january - march 2025
with the end of this term, i can officially close the door on the first half of my bachelor's degree. it's taken closer to 3 years than 2 to get to this point, but the finish line is clearer now than it's ever been.
it's been an especially good term for my research aspirations ā in january i started on a cell bio project with my adviser, got recruited by my ecology prof in february, and in march was accepted to a summer position in a biochemistry lab. i love my classes, don't get me wrong, but there's nothing quite like lab work for learning how to actually be a scientist.
