Chaotic start of 2026

The focus, the stress and the chaos has been real! So glad it’s over for a little bit now.

Hello, my beautiful people! I apologize for not blogging this year (yet), but I have been stressed like a maniac!

Remember when I told you guys that my mental health isn’t so good and that it has been declining?  Still low at the moment, but between Christmas and this last Saturday (January 3rd) I have been maniacally stressing through assignments, sending them in, correcting them, chatting with teachers about grades, school, etc.  Last night I made, hopefully, the last piece for this semester. 

Grades will be decided on January 8, and my next semester starts on January 12th, so I am back to school soon! Crazy!

Let’s appriciate the fact that I have gotten some energy back so I could do some makeup again 🙌🏻

I know that one course with the awful teacher who name-called me and disrespected me a lot this semester is done 🙌🏻 I passed it! Thank God.

Long story short, I passed Kost & Hälsa (Food & Health). I don’t know about the rest, but I had 50 assignments to send in before January 1st. Due to my mental health, I couldn’t make them earlier, but in one week, I made them all. The focus, the discipline, and the live chats I was on (TikTok), talking with friends, made me continue. I finished them! Woho!

So for this semester, I made a promise to myself to never let this happen again! So pray for me and my mental health. 

Two more semesters and I a m d o n e finally! I have also made a decision to take a break from school (I have been studying nonstop for ten years) to focus on myself and to work.

So yeah, that has been my reality for the past… weeks? But here I am.

ADHD Starter Pack: Loudness, Honesty, And A Killer Outfit

The first day of school is officially done. Very small group, but many were missing, so we’ll see if they come. I told the teachers and the class that I am terrified, but when I saw three of my old teachers that we are going to have, it immediately calmed down inside me. Sure, one of the teachers and I don’t get along well, but at least we are on good terms. Hopefully that continues, but we’ll see.

Today’s fashion. Not so special. Did some makeup; it feels so weird to have it on after not having been wearing/using makeup for like, ages!

bag, pen, papers. The whole shebang. Plus my “Stanley Cup” filled with Pepsi Max.

Today we sang a song in class… well, none of us sang, just the teacher. To tell our names. That was weird, but apparently we are going to sing a lot in classes. I do not look forward to that, but what to do?

I told them honestly about my ADHD and how I am, how I can enter a classroom (dancing, etc.) if my ADHD is going crazy. I also told them that I am a talker and I ask a lot of questions. I thought it would be best to tell them right away (I remember I didn’t do that when I studied to be a nurse assistant, and it was horrible when my ADHD kicked in. No one accepted that (and me).

Everyone was chill with that. Some girls said they are just like me, so that felt good. But I could tell I’m the one whose ADHD is over the top. Haha!

I also told them that I am a blogger, so I will take pictures, but no one will be shown. They were also okay with that. Yay!

Before we all went in, we sat down on benches outside, and already there, I opened up and told some but also said to everyone, “COME HERE!” Come and sit here with us,” etc., joked about sitting in front of a bonfire and roasting marshmallows. They laughed and got into a better mood (I think they were nervous as well).

Yeah, so this was my first day. Kinda both calm and also crazy. Hopefully this will go fine, and there will be no bullying or backstabbing that was in the nurse assistant education.
