Lowkey Day

If you read my previous blog, you can tell how upset and lonely I felt. However, in this blog, I feel there was an uprising in how I was feeling. I still felt incredibly lonely and upset, but I ran out of tears the day before and couldn't produce anything else.

I dragged myself out of bed and ate more musli for breakfast (I did say I was on a healthy eating spiral). I didn't have any lectures and wasn't too sure what to do with myself. I ended up back in my bedroom, back in bed, scrolling through Amazon Prime.

Did you know as a student you can sign up for Student Prime and watch Amazon Prime for 6 months free?

• No
• Yes

After endless scrolling, I chose to watch a movie I had never seen before...Dirty Grandpa! The main reason I chose this film was because it included ZAC EFRON! I am sitting here now, trying hard to remember the film, however, I don't remember a lot, just laughing loads. I needed that chill day, without the crying.

After finishing the film, I played music through YouTube and scrolled through my phone until dinner time.

As much as you might want to be constantly busy with friends and having a social life. It is imperative to take some days where you just sit in bed and relax and take time for yourself. It is best to reflect by yourself on how your life is going and what needs changing. Sometimes you can write it down on your notes app or in a journal or just sit with your eyes shut and think.

Little did I know, that my future at university would be me sitting down or lying down and just watching movies and television shows and playing games on my phone or scrolling endlessly through TikTok. Do I regret it now? Sometimes I do regret it only because it can get very repetitive and boring, but once you find some hobbies to do you get in the zone.

Quote of the blog:

"Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is relaxation" - This quote fits into the blog well. I believe that having a day of relaxation helped me to recap the events of the past few days and made me feel better about being at university. I think the thought is that you can chill in your room and that doesn't make you an outsider, it makes you human. This can fit into your social life too, if it gets busy, take some time for yourself and just relax.

The next blog will be about spending the day with my university friends and going out at night.... spoiler...I end up crying again :)
