Do you ever feel think, “Wow. I feel so inadequate for this right now.”?
*raises hand*
We just finished the second week of this semester, and it’s KICKING MY BUTT. I feel like we’ve been in school for two months already. But God is good and challenge is good.
I also made a vlog for you guys today! You can decide whether that’s good or bad news. I’m thinking of doing regular Friday vlogs because it’s quick and fun way for me to catch up/talk with y’all at the end of the week. I’m calling it “Five Minute Friday’s” with the goal of keeping my yapping to a minimum.
This week’s debut is about how I’ve been managing stress (see Monday’s post…and the intro to this post). So without further ado, please enjoy the less-than-flattering angle of my face!

I talked about apple crisp a la mode, so here it is in it’s glory:
Lunch dessert seems 100% necessary sometimes.
Breakfast is definitely 100% necessary. If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen my post on Wednesday about how my omelette order got swapped with another girl’s order, and I could have solved the problem had I not doused my eggs in sriracha so quickly (the other girl does not like sriracha, so the possibility of swapping vanished).
One last good thing to close this frenzied Friday post: I worked out outside yesterday! It’s been pretty warm this week, despite the fact that there’s still some snow on the ground.
FRESH AIR.
Have a fantastic weekend, everyone! Eat some lunch dessert.
So tell me:
Is anything stressing you out currently?
What are your favorite ways to manage stress?
Yay or nay to lunch dessert?

Twist my arm behind my back to have dessert for lunch! 👊🏼 Lunch dessert for the win! 🏆 Love the Friday vlog idea…hope it doesn’t end up being too much trouble, because it was so nice to hear your lovely voice and have like a faux in-person chat. ❤️
Thanks, Hannah! The vlogs will be a regular thing for sure 🙂
Hmmm…things stressing me out. Right now I feel chill because I’m finally home from work and eating lunch, but my job was giving me some stress today. I’m also in between thinking about going back to school or not and that is on my mind, but that’s something fun to think about so I’ll keep it that way.
I’ll take dessert for lunch if I’m still hungry!
So great that you’re not feeling too stressed! Hope that stays! 🙂
I really hope these vlogs become a regular bc 1. I love you and you are so soothing?! Lol for real 2. This was incredibly relevant and helpful:)
Have a great weekend girl and keep doing things for you including lunch desserts and naps😘
You’re not the first person to tell me that my voice is soothing! I’m glad my voice can soothe people haha 🙂
I love the way your posts’ read, so quick & funny & real!(:
Kind of a nay for lunch dessert, I have my breakfast dessert most days. But wait, never say no to dessert, at least not the sriracha kind!
My own health issues are currently stressing me out, & I like to work out to manage stress, or read my bible/pray. But of course, because of my health problem working out is prob not the best idea right now…urgh.
But I’m reminded, God has me, even in my worst days. On a good note, my internship interview went v well this morning praise God! (:
Thanks so much, Abbie! Praying for you and your health, girl ♥︎ And hooray for the interview!! Wishing you the best!
Lunch dessert always ❤️ Sometimes it’s a healthier sweet treat, but yes. Right now, I’m not overly stressed, but my weeks are kind of front-loaded in terms of stress, so that’ll come back. 😉 I’m also better at studying alone usually. When I’m working on homework that requires help (we do a lot of group homework for econ), friends are good, but otherwise I need to read alone. To-do lists are awesome. It sounds like you’re managing everything really well! Love the “smile” tip – so simple and so important. Have a wonderful weekend, Alison!
Sounds like you’ve got a great system for studying, Ellen!
Yes for a video every Friday!!! I love your vlogs and your face. Such a good tip about doing things for others (even when really busy/stressed). It always makes me feel better too, but it’s easy to let slip in priorities. Have a good weekend girly
Ahh I love you! Hope you’re doing well, girl ♥︎
I have a big test next week that is on the back of my mind: definitely will be hitting the books this weekend and next week but something I do when I’m stressed is just remind myself that it will all get done and worrying won’t solve the problem! And yes for a video every Friday, would love to see your face and watch your vlogs! Hope you have a great weekend 🙂
Best of luck on your exam, girl!!
School is kicking my butt this semester too! I’m just trusting in my ability to time manage and rest when needed. That’s when I need my strength to come through. Love your VLOG!
YES. Sometimes we just need to just trust ourselves — God makes us capable of hard things!
Always “yay” for dessert! Dessert after dinner is one of my favorite part.
I totally feel the stress! My history teacher is soo unclear about what his expectations are so I feel like I don’t know what I’m doing anymore. And I am 100% on dessert every day 😉
Aw girl, I feel ya. I think once the semester gets rollin’ we’ll have a better gauge for how much/what we need to do for each class. Wishing you the best, Emmy!
