How I did it
How to floss daily
It took me
1 week
It made me
have a nice smile

How I did it: I have retainers, so it's been tough to get motivated to floss, as my gums would bleed every time. I stuck with it, tried to be gentle, and a week or so later, my gums don't bleed! Now there's no reason not to floss, and I consider it a way respect my body and also to protect the investment of braces on my teeth. Read how I did it…

How to keep a journal
It took me
4 months
It made me
free

How I did it: I made a new-years resolution that I would write in my diary every day, even if it was late, even if I had just one sentence to write. It took me four months to break it, but in the end, I kept writing, and I've been writing on a regular basis ever since. Now, I even use a whole bunch of colored pens, and my diary is like a personal doodle/art project. My journaling has gotten freer and more open, and I've really embraced it as a media to… Read how I did it…

How to figure out what to do with my life
It took me
2 years
It made me
happy and relieved

How I did it: I discovered the one thing that makes impassions me beyond all other things- the one thing that fires me up. I did research into organizations in the field, what majors I can choose from at my college, and overall, I stopped stressing about it and started exploring what options were available. It's an ongoing process. Read how I did it…

I love the night 1 month ago

I love how quiet and peaceful the middle of the night is. It’s like my favorite and best time to be alone- nobody to bother me, nobody in my business, just me and my feelings and thoughts- I’ve written some great late night poetry! That’s why going to bed at 3 or 4am is so nice to me. I fall asleep immediately.

But my body wants to wake up at around noon when I do that, and I don’t like not getting to see any of the morning. Right now, of course, is my Christmas break, and I can sleep as I want. But that just doesn’t suit a college student with 8 and 9am classes. Also, I know that many aspects of my health and daily life have to do with my sleep- my daily energy, my motivation, my ability to be productive, my immune system.

I haven’t seen the pillows and sheets before midnight in what seems like years. This sucks, but it’s what I have to do.

Feelin' Fine! 5 months ago

I woke up about twenty minutes ago, I went to bed around 2:15, and I feel great! Yesterday at work, we even got hit with a big rush of customers and I didn’t crash- I was actually pretty productive!

Can it get any better? I think it can!

Study Hacks 5 months ago

I’ve been reading this blog called Study Hacks, and the whole idea of the site is to make it so that you can study less, more efficiently. I recommend it highly, and I can’t wait to implement some of these techniques!
