sometimes things don’t have to be perfect 🤷🏻‍♀️

2025/6/21 Edited to

... Read moreSometimes, as a student, I find that chasing perfection can be overwhelming. That's why I started embracing a more relaxed approach to my study sessions—what I like to call the "messy edition." It’s all about showing up, putting in the effort, and allowing some imperfections along the way without stressing too much. In this study vlog, you’ll see my real study setup, including the mini burns on notes and the occasional command and option keys I use for productivity shortcuts. It’s a behind-the-scenes look that encourages students to focus on progress over perfection. If you're new to Lemon8 or looking to vibe with fellow students, this chilled approach can help you create a more sustainable study routine. Remember, studying doesn’t have to be flawless to be effective. Sometimes, it’s the imperfect moments that teach us the most and keep us motivated.

You don’t have to earn His love. 🤍
Sometimes we think we have to “earn our keep” because that’s how the world works — you perform, produce, and prove your worth. But God’s Kingdom doesn’t operate like that. He loved you first. And His love? It’s not transactional, it’s transformational. No amount of work could ever earn it. So

How to do PERFECT pull-ups
Not going to lie, pull-ups are HARD! For the first 21 years of my life I was never able to do 1 pull-up. Even training for 3 years I didn’t have the strength to pull my body weight up. I made a goal one day to be able to do 10 pull-ups and I’m happy to say that now I can do that! Here are 3 things
