Sleep: The Unsung Hero of Your Daily Superpowers

The Silent Savior I Forgot About During Finals Week

So, let’s talk about sleep. That magical, elusive unicorn that we all know is important, but somehow we tend to “forget” about during finals week. I didn’t just forget about sleep—I actively ignored it. For over 72 hours. Yes, you read that right. Three days, and I didn't stop there. I was on a mission to finish every assignment and study for every final as if I had an endless reservoir of energy just waiting to be tapped into. Spoiler alert: I did not.

At first, it was fine. I had my coffee, and my sheer willpower driving me forward. I felt like a productivity machine, typing away at my assignments with a caffeine-induced fury. I was invincible… until I wasn’t. By hour 48, the lines between reality and my study notes started to blur. I could have sworn I saw my textbook blink. And my laptop? Well, it started giving me the side-eye. It was only a matter of time before I crossed the threshold of sanity and slid headfirst into psychosis.

At one point, I thought I had unlocked the secrets of the universe and decided that the best way to celebrate was to stand on my desk and sing “I surrender all” at the top of my lungs. Naturally.

I started thinking I could walk through walls—because, clearly, that’s the logical next step after 72 hours without sleep. I ran at full speed toward a door, slamming into the wall with all the grace of a drunk toddler trying to play tag. 

So, what’s the moral of this story? Sleep is really important. Like, really. If you think you can pull an all-nighter and not suffer the consequences, think again. My mind may have thought it could survive on caffeine and stubbornness, but my body—and my sanity—had other plans. The next time you’re tempted to sacrifice sleep for another round of studying, just remember: your brain needs a break. And if you push it too hard, you might just end up singing "Eye of the Tiger" while hallucinating an orchestra. Trust me, it’s not worth it.

Identity :)

  First impressions  … Mean nothing about someone’s character. You cannot judge a tree by its bark, you can tell what kind of fruit the tree produces if you wait around and water it. I am a ‘what you see is what you get’ kind of person so for me a first impression isn’t something I stress because as a human I am imperfect in my ways, and what people should do is care about character over social status.  I know who I am and will correct you if you misinterpret me whether it be positively or negatively, because we all have strengths and weaknesses that are ever changing and improving in our lives. The importance of authenticity and identity is that we know who we are in Jesus Christ and that our value is known by ourselves. Impressions are for others.  There are few people who truly know you. Those that matter are: Your parents, close friends (not strangers, coworkers, acquaintances, or classmates) And above all God. If you check in with God and pray often about who yo...

Ever wondered how I managed to lose 40 pounds within a year...

What if I told you that the reason I was able to lose 40 pounds was consistency? The GREATEST niche in health, wellness, and fitness are these quick fixes that will "transform your body in 30 days" or food and supplements that will instantaneously change our body in a small amount of time. As consumers this sounds pretty great! I fell into the trap of believing these fads at the beginning of my journey and I want you to understand that this is a ploy-  slow and steady  will show you results. Let's dive into the world of health/wellness. The goal is to continuously become healthier to sustain your body and improve mobility, stamina, and energy (whatever your personal goals are) mentally and physically. Some of the most successful people say everything worth having takes time to accomplish, and with health and wellness, it is a lifelong walk uphill! I was trying different diets; cutting out too much and working out WITHOUT a plan and for too long until I realized that a pla...
