Welcome to The Character Development Project.

For the next 365 days, I'm going to document my life, one day at a time.

Not because my life is particularly exciting, and not because I'm trying to become the most productive person on earth. I just want to pay more attention to the days as they pass.

Every day, I'll write about what happened, what made me smile, what challenged me, and what I learned about myself.

Maybe I'll become more disciplined. Maybe I'll become more confident. Maybe I'll just collect a year's worth of memories.

Either way, this is Day 0.

Here's to 365 days of growth, mistakes, small victories, unexpected plot twists, and hopefully some decent character development.

See you tomorrow.

Today was a fairly ordinary day. Most of my classes were a bit boring, but I enjoyed Animal Physiology and Forensic Science as usual.

I was given a few assignments and also submitted my records, which felt good to get done. After coming home, I had quite a few chores to complete, so the day went by pretty quickly.

One thing I'm happy about is that I ate clean throughout the day and stayed on track with my goals.

Nothing extraordinary happened, but it was a productive and balanced day overall.

Rating: 7.5/10

Improvement: Avoid using my phone immediately after waking up.

Woke up early and reached campus on time today. Small win, but a win nonetheless.

Classes started with AI in Biological Sciences. Not gonna lie, it was a little boring, but I'm hoping it gets more interesting as the semester goes on. Then we had Angiosperm Systematics and Taxonomy. The faculty seems really strict, but the subject itself is actually pretty interesting.

Forensic Science was the most exciting class of the day. We learned the basics of crime scene investigation, which was pretty cool.

We also had an orientation session with our HOD, who shared some valuable insights on the new semester.

After coming home, I had lunch and tried my best to fight the afternoon slump. I revised what was taught in class, finished some chores, had dinner, spent time with Tommy, revised for the next day's classes, and did my skincare before winding down for the night.

Overall, a productive day. Nothing extraordinary happened, but I showed up and stayed consistent.

Improvement: Maintain today's consistency and keep building good habits one day at a time.

College reopened today. Met my friends after a very long time. We got introduced to the new subjects and faculty, but no actual teaching happened yet, so most classes were pretty introductory.

Had the orientation session too. Attended it (more like dozed off).

Came home, had lunch, spent some time with Tommy, took a nap, got my workout done, went through the syllabus, had dinner, finished a few chores and called it a day.

Nothing extraordinary happened, but it felt nice to be back on campus. A new semester always feels like a fresh start.

What I could improve:

Wake up a little earlier.

Drink more water during college.

I missed my daily updates this week, so here's a little recap instead.

It was quite an eventful week. I fell sick with a stomach infection, which made it difficult to keep up with my usual routine. Thankfully, I'm feeling better now.

Despite that, college kept me busy with record work and classes. I also attended a few programs this week and learned a lot from them, which made the week feel worthwhile. Tommy got a nice bath and haircut, and he looks so cute 🥺.

On a happier note, I started reading a new book, and it's been nice getting back into reading again.

Looking back, this week reminded me that progress isn't always about being productive every single day. Sometimes it's about recovering, showing up when you can, and continuing to move forward.

Today was a pretty normal college day. Classes went on as usual, and we finished lab early, which meant I got to head home sooner than expected.

After coming home, I spent some time with my mom, completed my record work, and relaxed by watching two episodes of Stranger Things. I ended the day by sleeping early.

Nothing extraordinary happened today, but it was a calm and comfortable day overall.

Today started with a bit of panic because I was almost late to class, but thankfully I made it on time.

Classes were interesting, and I came home earlier than usual. After lunch, I finished my PowerPoint presentation, completed some chores, and worked on an assignment. The rest of the evening was pretty relaxed—I had dinner and slept early.

Nothing particularly exciting happened today, but it felt good to get things done and stay on top of my work.

Today was different from my usual routine.

I went to Church Street with a group of friends I've only known for a short time. We spent some time exploring, waiting to bowl at Amoeba, and doing a bit of window shopping when the queue got too long. I also had a chicken roll, which was a small surprise considering everyone expects me to be "on a diet" all the time.

The day itself was good, but my brain wasn't very kind to me. I found myself constantly comparing myself to other people and picking apart my appearance. On the way home, a few comments from my brother about how I looked in photos stuck with me more than they should have, and I spent a lot of time criticizing myself instead of enjoying the memories I had made.

When I got home, I changed, worked out, completed some record work, and went to bed early.

Today wasn't perfect, but I showed up for myself anyway.

Rating: 6.5/10

Improvement: Be kinder to myself and focus less on comparisons.
