02.22.25 // studying at competition, and a movie on the plane!

less productive of a weekend, but as a senior, this was my last competition with my team — so i heavily prioritized spending time with them. i can catch up on schoolwork as long as i try harder in upcoming days; the time spent with a supportive, amazing team like mine is irreplaceable, and it’s not time i’d ever regret or be able to fill retroactively.

for me, working and studying hard in school towards a goal is more worth it when there are people who i will be able to share my joy with. my team is full of people whose presences have brought such warmth to my life, and whose lives i want to always infuse with more happiness. their love has shaped me into a person i feel happy about being, and i will miss them dearly when i graduate. to the team that made these four years of undergrad so worth it: thank you, and i love you.

wangxian social media au where wwx, chaos incarnate, returns from his two-month suspension, becomes the talk of the town, and promptly decides to join the school publication team. oh and he’s exes-but-not-really-no-one-knows with lwj, who’s a student athlete.

i’d initially planned to post this on twt as a thread before i found out about the shitty update

should i??? or should i not…??

I hate the feeling of losing my competitiveness because I'm too anxious to get involved in any competition, but at the same time I love not caring about things anymore and feeling at peace just being there

skipping school for a regatta is the best feeling ever.

i wish there was a way where if i don’t play up to my expectations i wouldn’t compare myself to every other player out there. i had an off day again i broke down and cried on the court trying to hide it from everyone. the mental battle as an athlete sucks

What I've realized about being an athlete at a very rigorous school is that my sport is my non-academic life. I've been thinking of it wrong for a while, dividing things into school, sport, and life. But I don't have time to divide sport and life anymore. In terms of balance, my academics take up most of the day and the rest is my sport. What I do in my free time is my sport. My days look like classes, practice, and my remaining time is devoted to studying. I used to yearn for a time during the day during which to "live" as well, but this quarter (my school is on the quarter system) I am taking more classes than ever and can no longer afford to spend any free time *not* studying. Therefore I am reframing my mindset to see time spent at practice as my life and not just my sport. My sport is becoming my reason for enjoying the day, my time to socialize, and my time to live. It helps that most of my friends are on the team anyway, but this mindset is making practice time so much more valuable and helping me enjoy my sport more. I don't *have* to go to practice, I *get* to go to practice. It's a life of dedication that has become incredibly fulfilling for me.

Back to the ball game!

Today, I'm going to be sharing my first-day experience of training. Hi, I'm Chesca, and this is my first day as a student athlete.

Today is my first day back at the court. I took a break from training and playing volleyball due to academic reasons. But now I'm back to training and playing for the school. Before I was able to fully train with the team, I had to accomplish and comply with multiple activities and tasks, because it is a policy for us student-athletes to maintain good grades while playing our sports.

We started our training with a warm-up, as it is very important for us to avoid possible injuries during the training and game. We followed it up with a quick ten-minute jog. I was surely happy to be back and really motivated to push myself to regain my skills. Because of the 2-month pause of training, I was definitely not in shape. Eventually we started the court drills. At first I was excited, and then after the second seg of drill, I started to feel dizzy, and my vision started to blur lightly, and everything started to turn into a plain white light. I was scared to collapse during training, so I asked for water, and then my teammates started to notice that I was pale. They sat me aside for a few minutes for me to recover. However, due to my urge to be a part of the training, once my vision was back, I eventually followed through with the training.

I believe my body wasn't able to keep up with the sudden intensity of the training, which led me to that situation. So I decided to keep moving even at home so that I wouldn't have those instances wherein I would just black out, and those sudden incidents could lead to even worse injuries.

Have you guys had experiences like this even outside that sports field? Leave me a response in the comments. 💛

finally get to go to swim practice again‼️‼️

im kinda disappointed my favorite coach i like to call Scog (that’s my nickname for him in my head but I’ve never called him that verbally) wasn’t having us dive in the pool today. i love diving ☹️ but it’s whatever, it’s nice to be back in the water even if i was dying (I legit forget how to swim if im out of the water for more than 2 days and it’s been like A MONTH so u could imagine how much I was struggling 💀)

me starting to practice an individual sport because I didn't want to have to depend on a team to play, just to abandon that sport because I couldn't deal with the feeling of being alone, going back to playing the team sport that I always played only to want to abandon it again because I don’t want to deal with the feeling of disappointing my entire team with my mistakes😍💔
