Hello! I’m Alexis. I’m 21 and I’m working on a B.S. in Biology to then get my Doctorate of Optometry. 

I’d like to consider myself equal parts logical and creative. I love to draw and paint and spend time outdoors, biking or simply walking. Organization has always been my thing. I’m an INFJ. Ravenclaw house.

My blog is only about a month old so it’s still a lil baby. I’ve posted some things here and there but I figured it was time to properly introduce myself.

Favorite studyblrs: @mediocrestudyblr, @obsidianstudy, @genspen, @asazora, @elkstudies, @studyrelief, @studypetals, @etudestial, @studyign, @universi-tea, @academla, @studybuzz, @areistotle, @theorganisedstudent, @enthusiastudy, @hayley-studies, @lostlxmb, @hermionerd-studies

There’s honestly so, so many more, but that’s quite a long list as it is.

That being said, I’m still pretty new to the whole studyblr thing. So if anyone wanted to reblog this I will certainly check out your blog!

Continuing right along with my minimalism challenge, I completed two more days and did not blog about them. On the third day, I identified my 3-6 main priorities. The fourth, I went bare faced.

Day 03: I listed my priorities as follows:

My own health and wellness, which you could break down into subcategories, such as diet and exercise being the physical, meditation as a spiritual aspect, and making time for my own creativity (i.e. painting, drawing, cooking, etc.) in order to maintain some mental and emotional health

Investing time and love into personal relationships with my family, friends, and boyfriend.

My education - specifically reviewing Precal over the next several weeks in order to prepare for Cal I in the Fall.

Reaching my next goal at work.

So, yesterday I chose to identify my stress triggers. Turns out, I chose a bad day because I actually had a really fantastic day! Which couldn’t have come at a better time. I’ve been pretty hard on myself lately but yesterday I did really well at work and my coworkers were very uplifting of me. It was overall such a great day.

Yesterday, I started this challenge by a fantastic blog called Into-Mind. Definitely check out the rest of her blog if you’re interested in living a more simplistic lifestyle, revamping your closet, defining a set of goals for yourself, or living an ethical lifestyle. She’s got it all.

Now, I believe I originally discovered this challenge about a year ago. Full disclosure: I got about halfway through the challenge back then, and then it just sort of fizzled out. This time around I’m going to blog about it so that I hold myself accountable, and so I can reflect on my progress.

Yesterday I started on Day 11, meaning I am doing this completely out of order (like I do everything else.) Also, because day 11 is “evaluate your commitments,” and because I have no commitments at the moment, I chose to do something completely different. So, I cheated to avoid cheating. Rather than check off a day of minimalism that I actually did not commit to, I decided to go through my filing cabinet and reorganize and reevaluate what all was in there. That stack of papers on top of it was getting pretty high!

At any rate, I feel like that small area of my space being decluttered helped my mental state. It definitely made me feel more relaxed and helped me feel productive. The closet situation still terrifies me, but that’s another day!
