I want to emphasize that this reflects my personal experience, and everyone’s journey can look different. That said, it doesn’t mean situations like this don’t exist. I’m sharing this because I’ve received a lot of questions and comments about it, and I don’t want anyone to feel discouraged from coming to Cal Poly or feel like they wouldn’t belong here. #calpoly #calpolyslo #pwi #hsi #letstalkaboutit

My long overdue “formal” introduction of myself! Join me on my journey of navigating life and all it has to offer. Some of you might know me from my Cal Poly videos, others from skincare, fashion, or more. No matter the content, my goal is to inspire people to try everything, be unapologetically themselves, and grow along the way. Follow along with me in 2026 🤍!

Transparently, this past quarter has been my most academically challenging one yet. I started the quarter enrolled in 14 units, which doesn’t sound too bad, but one of those classes CM 115, was a 6-unit class. From day one the workload was heavy, and it took a real toll on my mental health.

I’m learning that stepping back when things become too much is a skill in itself. Fortunately, I was able to recognize that this time. Withdrawing from the class was scary because it meant falling a bit behind and having to retake these 6 units next quarter, but protecting my mental health had to come first.

I want this account to reflect my academic journey including all of the highs and the lows. Even though this quarter wasn’t my strongest academically, I’m genuinely grateful to have made it through, and I’m looking forward to a fresh start next quarter.

Im so productive #calpoly #studymotivation #collegelife #productivity #collegebalance

MatLab is lowkey kinda fun #coding #matlab #engineeringstudents #stemlife #calpolyslo

New YouTube Video out, link in bio ⭐️ !

In this video, I take you behind the scenes of what midterms and finals week really looks like as an Architectural Engineering student at Cal Poly SLO. I wanted to keep this as real and transparent as possible, showing the long hours, the grind, and everything that goes into a major like ARCE (or any engineering-related field).

This past Winter 2026 quarter, I took on 20 units, which definitely explains the amount of time you’ll see me studying 😅 But in the end, all the hard work paid off ( for the most part.) I finished with 3 A’s, which was a huge accomplishment for me.

If you’re in engineering, thinking about it, or just curious what the process looks like, this one’s for you #engineering #calpoly #stemmajor #finalsweek #college

Gotta be careful what I wish for :/ #collegememes #stemmajor #engineeringstudent #calpoly
