things that made me stop wanting to die that require no effort whatsoever
- change the color used to highlight text on your laptop
- move the pictures on your wall
- stack whatever clutter is in your room into piles even if you don’t have time to clean it all
- slightly vary your commute, even just by one street
- change where you sit and scroll aimlessly on your phone even if it’s only to the chair in your room instead of your bed
- drink water or juice out of a wine glass in the morning because nothing is real
- shower with the lights off, without music
- buy $3 flowers at trader joe’s—they look bad next to the more expensive ones but they look so good in your room
- start typing things you don’t post into your notes. your thoughts can be worth documenting even if you don’t deem them worth sharing
- wake up super early just once. you don’t have to make it a habit it’s just extra satisfying to go to bed that night
- listen to the entirety of your favorite album from 2015
Almost all of these are about variety. Humans need stimulation! We need enrichment! We literally cannot do the same thing every day!
The other day I was feeling miserable, so I hopped on a bus and rode it all the way back to where I’d started, and my brain, which had finally had some proper stimulation via new environments, was suddenly ready to go again!
This is why taking walks/drives and trying new hobbies are good for you! Don’t turn yourself into a sad zoo animal! You need some pumpkins to roll around in your enclosure!

- do your top 3 to-dos for the day. (heh)
- stretch.

weeklies
- polish your school shoes.
- mop your bedroom floor.
- dare i say, laundry. (don’t put it off!)
- exfoliate.
- take a leisure walk.
- review your past week and plan your next week accordingly. (a part of your routine may not be working–try something new)
- make a piece of art. (a sketch, a collage, a quote in pretty lettering, a god-awful poem..)
- sanitize your gadgets. (whip out the wet tissue and wipe away at your phone, your laptop, your mouse, your earphones–just don’t forget to IMMEDIATELY follow that up with a dry cloth to prevent fogging and short circuits)

monthlies

hey this thing has more than 20, 000 notes. how even..??
just wanna remind y'all that these are just ideas on things you can do everyday to improve your life a bit. it’s not an all-or-nothing situation. they’re supposed to be choices to pick from, not a checklist for optimal living routine™. if you can’t do them all, you’re not hopeless or a failure.

i love Legally Blonde so much. all of the women are so supportive of each other im??
- when Elle was supposed to get engaged, none of the girls were jealous, they were genuinely happy for her n helped her get ready for the big dinner
- when her bf broke up with her they were supportive
- when Elle says she wants to go to harvard the counselor lady is like but ur major is fashion, do u have any backup plan? n elle is like nope im going to harvard n the lady is like okay then here’s what u gotta do.
- her friends didnt get why she wanted to go to law school but supported her anyway, and helped her study
- when she got 179 on her exam (more than her goal), they treated her like a queen
and that’s only in the first 18 minutes of the movie
Legally Blonde is a “girl power” movie with killer inspirational and positive attitude disguised as a stereotypical blonde movie.
