January Study Challenge

day 3 - do you tend to make new year’s resolutions? how well has that gone for you in the past?

mmm yes i usually make some, but they’re very loose? if that makes sense. for example, this year is just to drink more water, and try to eat when i’m actually hungry (instead of when i’m bored or sad, etc.). the thing is, throughout the year, i get random bursts of motivation and begin to make resolutions, soooo the new year isn’t that different from a random burst of motivation 🤷🏻‍♀️ anyway, i don’t tend to stick to my resolutions, but i have faith about this year!

hi i tried to post these yesterday but it failed 😚✌🏻 anyway, this was the sunrise yesterday! saw The Rise of Skywalker and i absolutely LOVED it !! i finished with A’s in all of my classes which i am very proud of :) happy winter break to all the students out there!
