23 April (life update)
So, keeping things honest I’m not doing the best right now friends. Over the course of the last 2 weeks one of my parents had a heart attack and the other is now on life support.
I really appreciate all of you who continue to support me and this study blog.
Morale of the story is that bad things happen to all of us, but it’s our actions after the fact that define us
Stay up ✌🏾

Today and yesterday were a total whirlwind, but today was better than yesterday. I got lots done, even if I didn't do everything on my list (because I had to catch up from yesterday, haha!). I had stopped doing yoga as regularly, so I'm so glad I did some today. It brings my body a lot of peace.

Day 15: tag someone you would get along just fine with
"fine" seems like a low bar, but I love @nonlinear-student's posts and I think he's a really committed student. I love meeting other physics students here!
Day 16: what is your go-to beverage?
Masala chai with some kind of non-dairy milk, preferably almond. I also loooove hot chocolates, or some kind of flavoured "not real coffee" coffee, like cinnamon bun lattes.

9 April (The joy of being in STEM)
Today was not the best by any stretch of the imagination. I was fighting myself most of the day trying to get my HW done despite putting in good time to try and complete it, the topics just aren’t resonating.
I find myself once again dragging behind the rest of my peers despite studying just as hard as they do. Sadly, I couldn’t tell you the last time I actually had a weekend to myself, or a nice moment that wasn’t overshadowed by the crippling weight of school.
I wish there were more instructors who truly understood that different students have different needs.
Stay up✌🏿
