I thought I would reflect on my day for my first blog post. I started my day with a yoga practice to awaken my mind, body, and soul. I put on an outfit that I felt confident in and which I felt embodied me well. A bonus was having multiple people notice my outfit and tell me that they liked it. Then I walked to the dining hall for breakfast and had a bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on a bagel – my favorite!

Then I went to class and research. I got better data at research this week than last, so that was a hopeful spark in my day!

I then went to an AED meeting where two presenters came to speak about the importance of mental health and balancing work and rest. It reminded me that I don’t need to be perfect at everything and do better than everyone else. I just need to do the best that I can do!

Now I am finishing my day by working on a couple assignments. Hopefully I will read my book for leisure, Where the Crawdads Sing, for a couple minutes before bed.
