My self care for this week was playing with my dog 🐶🐾 Whenever I come home he always brings me his toy because I’m so fun to play with. I make him get the zoomies and he has so much fun. I get sad because I can see him getting older but when he plays, he acts like the energetic baby that he once was. Love you Doki 💖

The prompt is what I’m most proud of and what has humbled me.

I’m most proud of how much I’ve matured mentally in the past year. I think this is mostly due to the shift in mindset that has allowed me to not think too deeply into everything. Growing up, I was pretty uptight and avoided uncomfortable situations. I would say I over think a decent amount, like I’m not a severe overthinker, but at the same time I am not head empty. The more social situations I am put in, the more I start to overthink. However, being in my psych class has made me realize that everyone is always in their own head and thinking about how they look in other’s eyes. If we are all doing this, technically no one is really focusing on you at all. That just puts into perspective that no one cares. It’s kinda sad, but I see it as a beautiful thing. Thinking in this way has made me enjoy the present and live life the way that I want. Life is too short to be stressed out about stuff so just go with the flow.

Coming home and talking to my grandpa was quite a humbling experience. First, I realized how bad my Korean is because it’s been a while where I had to explain all my stories in Korean. It just sounds off and my pronounciation is giving very American. Second, he hasn’t seen me in a year and one of the first things he said to me was, “why you got so much stuff on your face.” For context, I had pretty clear skin growing up, but starting last year I’ve been getting lots of hormonal acne and he hasn’t seen me after I started breaking out. My man literally called out my acne scars and I was like bruh. He was like you should get them lasered off because in Korea it’s so cheap. I was like boi I don’t have time to be going to Korea right now and he was like just go to a clinic in American then. BOI with what money, I am literally a broke college student my man. So that was quite humbling. I’m telling you, old people are not afraid to call you out because they’ve lived such a long life and they don’t give a flying shit.

Okay well that’s my little talk. Bye!

My self care goal was to use a face mask and relax! After yesterday night’s workout, I had a relaxing shower and after my skincare, I slapped on a face mask that Hayley gave me 🫶🏻 if you want to make the most out of the face mask, I recommend putting the bag on your feet and hands so the extra serum can moisturize them too! #lifehacks 🧖‍♀️

Week 3 Vlog - Who is your inspiration?

[daniellechungg]

Hi! I’m back with another weekly reflection and today I’m going to be writing about “5-year Odyssey.”

So first, where do I see myself in 10 years? Hmm, well I see myself graduating from medical school? I don’t think I have the timeline correct but in 10 years I should finally be a doctor, right? In 10 years, I will be 29 (almost 30) and by then, I want to have at least 200k+ in investments. I don’t know if that’s doable because I don’t know if I will have time to work part time while I’m in medical school. That’s why I have to save up and invest as much as I can now, so that future-me can be financially stable. My goal is to be able to retire by the age of 40 or 45, so I have the freedom to work only a few days a week and then live my life however I want to for the rest of the week.

Next topic, a tangentially related path that’s not being a doctor. Maybe I would go into research. I had this thought yesterday when I was FaceTiming my sister and I was telling her that I think I for sure am an introvert because socializing is fun in the moment, but I always need time to myself/recharge. I wouldn’t mind patient interactions because I would love to be there for them, but hopefully it doesn’t get too overwhelming. That’s why research is nice because you can just be by yourself with your little bacteria friends or rats or whatever your working with IN COMPLETE SILENCE. I realized I love silence. Like just being able to listen to the background noise and nobody talking is so therapeutic. That’s why sometimes I just put my noise canceling headphones in and no music, because music is talking and we need silence. Okay I went on a complete tangent there but yes research might be fun and we shall see how much I like it because I obtained a research position at the White Lab for next school year!

If I had unlimited resources and time, I think I would want to live in a tiny home or van and travel the world. I really want to solo travel and go to Yosemite and other national parks but my family is worried that I would get killed or something because “it’s too dangerous for a girl.” Sometimes I love being a girl because it do be fun, but in these aspects I don’t. If I was a guy, I’m pretty sure my parents would have no problem with me doing a solo trip by now to a nature place. I want to either live in a small cottage in Switzerland or anywhere that is just field and nature. I want to wake up to the sound of birds chirping and tend to my garden. Literally the definition of “I think I like this little life.” I am going to make this happen tho. One way or another, after I retire I’m going to achieve both the first and third prompt. Just watch me.

Okay finally I have to write about the differences between all three paths. They are very different in the sense that 2 of them are actually working and having a job, while the last one isn’t really a job but rather a way of living. Okay I’m tired of writing now. Bye!
