Life Updates: Balancing Studies, Health, and Relationships

Life has been just doing its thing hasn’t it?

Few life updates

*clears throat* She’s a Masters Mami!!

One thing I have always incorporated into my life is continuing to learn. At this point in my life, I was somewhat “bored” with how my life was going. I’ve always had such a busy brain- for those who’ve been here since the start- ILY! I had so much extra time- work was great and running smoothly and I decided to apply to a Masters Program right here in Florida! By June 2023- I was accepted and started by August of that year! It moved so quickly that I felt like it was a blur! I spend my days at home mostly. Sometimes, it was hard to get out on the weekends. I pushed myself to a Pilates class weekly, if possible. This ensured I was moving my body as much as I. Graduation was the day right before my birthday so it was very heart warming having my family in town including my mom whom hasn’t been in a plane in so many years! The weather was so insane up to the 90’s in Miami, curly hair wasn’t my fave but hey what can I do.

Next- I’m finaly in a relationship- haha its a little long distasnce but we’ve both had the opportunity to see each other almost monthly(him more than me). School had me grinding but in the mist of changing classes every 6 weeks, my partner took the time to come and spend it with me or fly me to his town- hes so sweet. Anywho, thats private-on that but note- I got myself a photographer.

Health- I haven’t had the best health streak as I use to. The days of being up at 5 am and heading to the gym have been over. As I navigate this new way of life post graduation, I freshly signed up to the gym! Although I have been doing Pilates on and off for the year, I have been itching to lift some weights! I’ll make sure to start documenting my gym progress and share any tips and tricks I used to keep motivation or the plans I have made for myself. I have been learning to cook more and being more experimental with starting a gluten free starter dough and if I can keep that alive to start- will check back and give you all updates.

Well I have a lot to show you from this past year. I traveled to El Salvador. I finished my degree. I also experienced personal growth, minus the massive details.

My goal this year is to discipline myself to write a post at least weekly. Writing will hopefully hold me accountable. I’m also feeling extra chatty this year. Thank you for riding with me for so long!!!

XOXO
