Good morning. It's 6am now. I'm gonna quickly go brush my teeth
and then I want to do just some like quick reading before we go get our morning workout in.
Let's get ready together.
It is the third week of school and I'm slowly getting into the groove of things.
I know I have not been filming my lawn videos as much and I apologize for that.
I will try to get back into routine and release a video every week.
But I am still trying to post every day consistently on my short form,
so definitely go follow me there.
And I also recently made a new study account with my study tips
and a lot of study blogs that I've been posting on.
And if you want to see that, it is on Instagram and TikTok
and the username is athelainestudyfetch.
It is in partnership with StudyFetch,
but all the study tips on there are my genuine study hacks
and I would never lie about how I study.
So take what you want from it if you just want to get some study motivation
or see some of my other study tips, definitely go check that out.
And also if you haven't seen already,
the newsletter that I was talking about like a month ago is finally up.
The name is Dear Helaine and you can subscribe at the link.
I'll put it here and also I'll put the link in the description.
So definitely subscribe for weekly updates.
It is completely free and you get to see what's been going on in my life
outside of what I show on like YouTube and other platforms
and also some of my favorites, recommendations, tips, and other stuff.
Anyways, the plan for today.
I had a pretty early morning today.
I've actually not been waking up super early on most days
just because a lot of my clubs have not started yet
and classes are also just like slowly picking up.
So there really wasn't any point for me to wake up early
and honestly the most productive thing that you can do for yourself
is get a good night of sleep.
I will forever stand by that.
Whenever I sleep for like a good eight to nine hours, I feel so good.
But anyways, since today I woke up earlier,
I'm gonna go to the Smith Center to go get some studying done
before my first class, which is at 10 30.
And of course to reward myself for studying
and also for waking up early, I need to get a matcha.
Ring Street just came out with their new fall flavors
but I'm not the biggest fan of the fall flavors.
You can never go wrong with the blueberry or the strawberry or daydream matcha.
I actually have not had their daydream matcha in a while,
like a few months already, so I might go with that one.
But I'm super excited for that.
And then I have several back-to-back classes today
and then I need to go pick up some packages.
And then for dinner, I have this event
and apparently they're providing food, so we'll go to that together.
And then at night, I'm a board member of one of my favorite clubs on campus,
which is Oscar.
And we have our first general meeting today
and we're welcoming our new members.
So it's gonna be super exciting.
We're gonna go to their dorms and knock and welcome them
and then we'll have our first introduction and meeting together.
I honestly can't wait for fall to come around.
I'm always trying to romanticize my academic life
because I miss summer break so much
but I feel like when it's fall, it's just so much easier.
But I'm always so excited to spend a day with you guys.
I feel like it just naturally makes my day better.
But I'm done getting ready,
so let's go get some breakfast in my d. hall downstairs
and then we're gonna go study.
Necklace of the day is this smile necklace.
Let's also pick a perfume.
I'm gonna go with my Gucci perfume today.
I've been loving this scent so much.
It smells so good.
I'm gonna get ready to head out.
And I've also been loving to use my like wireless earbuds recently.
I feel like it's just such an aesthetic.
I was influenced by my friend
and honestly, it's just perfect aesthetic for fall.
Awesome.
I'm all ready to go, so let's go get some work done.
Here's today's fit.
I put on this thick jacket
because it does get cold throughout the day.
And then I have my pink shirt
and my Lululemon tote bag, which is my fave.
And my little buddy.
Awesome.
Look what I found.
They have berries.
It's 8.52.
I've been here for about an hour.
I just love waking up and studying early
because there's no one here.
Also, when I go to the library early,
there's just like no one there.
So it feels like this entire building is mine.
I don't have to worry about talking in the room.
Like it's just so nice.
So pro tip, try waking up early
and just to like go somewhere in public to study.
It just feels so nice
and I feel like it makes me a lot more productive.
But yeah, it's a great way to start the day.
I'm gonna start working on my stats.
I found another textbook online
that I've just been reading to study
because the concepts literally make no sense to me.
But that's what I'm gonna do for the next hour.
And then I'm gonna go get my matcha
before heading to class.
It is 10.15.
My class is in 15 minutes.
I ordered my matcha like 20 minutes ago
because they always take forever to make.
I don't know why like the whole world
and their moms are at Blank Street right now.
But I was not gonna take a risk.
So I ordered very early.
Anyways, let's go get our matcha.
I got the Daydream matcha,
which is original and it's like the best.
But I'm gonna go get my matcha
and then let's head to class.
I have three classes back to back.
So I'm not able to eat lunch.
I have this for like two days of the week
and it's honestly pretty rough,
but it's okay because the matcha
will help me get through it.
But let's head to our first class,
which is Intermediate Macroeconomics.
Done with first class,
let's head to my second one.
I feel so bad.
I walked to my house,
which is like a 15 minute walk away
to get all my packages,
but I have so many.
There was one that I needed urgently
to film a video,
which is why I came to get it
because I thought they would deliver it
to where I live.
But there was just so many
and then like the kind man who works here
said he would help me deliver it tomorrow.
I'm so, so grateful.
Like I have way too much stuff.
I got what I needed.
So I'm gonna wait for the shuttle to get back
and then I will just unpack them
and then we can rest a little
before I have my meetings tonight.
Okay, I'm finally back in my room.
I've been like going back to my room
so much less now
that I live a bit further from the yard.
All freshmen lived in the yard,
which now I appreciate so much
now that I'm not in there.
But let's quickly do an unboxing
of everything that I got.
I only picked up three packages
because that was all I could carry.
First, I got a pencil case
and then I bought some envelopes
just in case if I need them
to like send a letter.
I got some rolling tape for packaging.
This is like to stick wall art.
I need to stick up my wall art
because I haven't put them up yet.
I got some hair clips
because I forgot to bring mine from California.
And then I got a shower loofah
because I need one of these to like feel clean.
This is from Polaroid.
I'm also gonna customize my Polaroid
so I'm gonna do that after this unboxing.
It's their like new smallest Polaroid camera
and it came with all of these decorations
which I'm so excited for.
This is a bunch of stuff from Hero
which is honestly the best pimple patch brand out there.
So I'm so excited to have these.
Oh my gosh, I didn't know
that they also made like skincare creams.
Yay!
Okay, let's decorate my Polaroid together.
There's a recruiting event
so I'm gonna head to that right now
and hopefully there's food
because I haven't had dinner yet.
So I'm interested in Oscar
because at the end...
