as the title says, I totally messed up my plans to become become a better version of myself over the summer. I had 3 months and I totally blew it, now I have less than 2 weeks to do something with my life before school starts.
I had signed up for a summer course, and I'm only third of the way done. can I realistically learn the material and finish before school starts?
no. BUT-
I'll do my very best to get back in my productive lifestyle back and do what can be done before school. and since I'm going into 11th grade, I have to do SAT prep, especially because I want to be in the medical field. the only extracurriculars I did this summer was a short internship (which I have a project to do for.) so this school year will be focusing on my resume.
so in order to focus on my studies and still balance a life with that, I need to start making and breaking habits.
bad habits and breaking them
I have a couple of bad habits from the last school year still ingrained in my minds, so I will do my best to break them in 2 weeks.
I will;
- stop sleeping in late and start going to bed early.
- reduce my screen time and use it for studying.
- avoid my bed until night time to reduce bed rotting and increase activity.
- avoid snacking on processed foods and prioritize fruits and vegetables.
- spend more time caring for my animals. (I would give them the bare minimum but would often spend more time on my phone instead of enrichment.)
- stop procrastinating and do my homework the day it was assigned.
- continue doing my hobbies, and actually improve in my skills.(like practicing guitar or drawing)
- prioritize hygiene and making myself feel prettier.
- lose 2.2 kgs in the next 2 weeks.
- spend more time with God, better my prayer life.
- read 150% more.
- change my YouTube and Spacehey interactions. (remove myself from bad influences and interact with blogs/videos that my better version would appreciate!)
new year, new me (for real this time XD)
and yes, this still applies for the new year! starting these self improvement things now will allow for me to do a full 180 in 2026. it takes about a month to break and create new habits, and takes 6 months for a full change in attitude and body. especially when it comes to losing weight, which is also on my list.
I'm tired of being the unlikable, useless version of myself. this time I'll change. I promise myself that.

YESS YOU GOT THIS!!
I found myself doing the same thing, and I too, want to go into the medical field. I found myself doing really well at the beginning and middle of the summer, although now with basically a week left, I feel like I have to cram all of the fun I missed out on before (doomscrolling)..
I remember starting the summer doing fun things like uni courses, documentaries, and having time for all my hobbies, and now I'm just slipping into the cycle all over again.
I do hope you exceed your expectations and have a fun and fulfilling life!!
(wishing luck for the both of us rn)
THANK YOU!! And yess good luck!!!

OMGG 11TH GRADE?? WISHING YOU THE BEST OF LUCKK<3333 Remember to pace yourself when going in this direction in your life. When you revert back to your old habits by mistake or forget to do something you promised yourself youd do, its not the end of the world. As long as you practice self-discipline and correct those mistakes as soon as you make them, thats what really makes a difference.

i'll keep this one shorter lol. it's good that you want to improve, but you can't do everything all at once, it takes time to change (more than you think).
its important to note that not all likable people are so great. people will like you based on what you share with them, not necessarily how you actually are (depends on what you share).
much of my dilemma is people like me for my knowledge and ability, but i'm not rly fun to talk to or hang out with, bcuz that's what i'm focused on; study and work. i realize that i couldn't maintain certain relationships without feeling miserably misplaced (which is why i'm here).
know your path and be patient with yourself; we always get where we're going eventually, as long as we keep walking.
its just that, I know what I need to do , I know what needs to change. i just want to be able to just *boom* fix it.
I share everything with everybody, everyone knows my business. and people still like me. I have a lot of friends and friend groups. I just don't like myself. that's why I want to do this. I want to change. I don't expect to change overnight but I want to start building these habits in these 2 weeks so I can start changing for the New Years and start of fresh in a new body.

heyyy, I jut wanted to say that i'm so surprised.
it feels like we are the same person, nah actually maybe not but we have the same goals and yeah.
wait I cant find the good words but what I want to say is that I promised myself to be "better" during summer too. like I want to improve my drawing skills, study for school, do my hobbies, read more,and the most important thing:sport.(a lot more)but i always end up on my phone,,, im addicted..
I wish you the best and I hope we will achieve ur dreams. 2026 is not finished! we promised ourself that we were going to change! let's do it!
ahhh you too!! lets do this together!!!٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡
