I wanted to make the most of my University experience, not just in my studies, but also in the friendships I had made

Keywords: {0}

This phase of my life was when I started to realise that I’d changed so much in a short period of time, it was crazy. Before University, I didn’t go out very much and I had quite a small circle of friends, I also didn’t have very much confidence and my mental health wasn’t doing great. But after just a few months at University, I really started to notice changes, I was truly happy and felt like I had found somewhere that I belonged, I didn’t feel judged and felt included within my friendship groups, allowing my confidence to shine through and help me to become the best version of myself, this was the life I had always longed for. So to any current or future students reading this, be yourself and your confidence will shine through, this can feel different and scary to begin with, but as students we need to recognise that change can be good!

I like how I can be open in blogs and express what I want without super harsh judgement like on social media

Keywords: {0}

I got a big kick from all the attention I got on my blog about my music taste. I like the interactive things I do this year and how a lot of work is done in group settings. Socratic seminars and group reading was super exciting and I had a lot of fun reading 12 angry men. Of course I never like writing essays or reading books but they’re essential to an English class and I think Mrs. Calvert makes things more interesting somehow. For the blogs, I’d suggest teaching me how to edit. I seriously am so lost on this website and I always get deductions for not being creative with my blog designs which I totally agree with. Reading wise, I like having the whole class read one book rather than separate assignments. Having conversations about books are my favorite way to bond in passing time. I definitely enjoy English more sophomore year and I don’t hate the thought of having my second semester be the same.

One of the things I wanted to put into action was building my tribe – connecting with other like-minded midlife women

So far, my experiences with midlife have given me much to think about. While sometimes I still have to return to my list of coping skills, I usually come out better and happier as a result. I delve deeper into self-work, forgiveness, and compassion. And with all of the chaos and craziness, midlife has helped me reckon with the strange and different I would have probably shied away from years ago. Midlife has helped me welcome the surprises of unpredictability. And in the right light, I find myself reveling more and more in the unknown.

I want to include myself in all my relationships

What’s tragic is how many people’s still second guess who do I need to be to get into this group who I’m not like anyway, who I don’t actually respect that much, but it seems to be where it’s at. And it’s like what are you doing?

The biggest mental issue is my need for external validation

Keywords: {0}

I need this external validation. I need people. I want people to invite me to hang out with them. But that doesn’t happy. I’m usually the guy who has to plan everything in my friend group. But they all meet up with each other all the time. But I can’t blame them. Almost all of my friends are girls and it’s wrong for me to be always there for girl time. And honestly, I’m kind of sick hearing about purses, guys, and periods.

What if this LIFE is our aquarium?

yeah so, it’s a fact – sometimes i think, maybe it’s hong kong life, but maybe it’s THE life. just like those crabs inside the aquarium. is this life my aquarium? some of you guys probably know the feeling of being trapped, no matter how “comfortable” the current environment is. no matter how convinced you are that this is where you belong.

This time, there you go, no idea, just started running

I thought I want to go to the river downtown London. And off I went. And I managed to run 16k on a moderate effort level, with great joy! I enjoyed the city, oh my god, the parks? Hyde, Green and St. James park are in another level this time of the year. The colours, the smiley people, the buzz, is unbelievable.

My experience of being a mixed girl has had its perks of finding multiple groups to connect to, but there’s its drawbacks of not really knowing what I identify with and who I truly fit in with

Keywords: week 1

I am majoring in Elementary Education and Multilingual Learning, and as said before, I am currently a student athlete at UHM. I could not imagine myself being anywhere else, and I have no set plans to where I want to be after this short part of my life. Being a teacher has always been a career dream of mine, because working with kids and having a job I am passionate about, is all I want. Right now in life, I feel that I am at a peak. I feel that the world is starting to show me more to understand it, and I am doing the same for myself.
