5:15 AM came way too early... but the Cheyenne River understood the assignment. 🌅🎣 Mist on the water, a fly rod in my hand, and a smallmouth bass before most people even hit snooze. Not a bad way to spend a morning back home. Some mornings are worth losing sleep for. 💙🌾

Therapy? Expensive. A trail ride on Pine Ridge? Pretty convincing. 🐎😌

Home for a few days and the Cheyenne River is already doing a better job fixing my attitude than an entire semester of "self-care." If you need me... keep waiting. 😏🌊🤍

Got a call from my parents last night asking if I'd come home for a few days. I heard something in Mom's voice that made the decision for me. Sometimes you don't need all the details... you just go. First flight it is. Heading back to Pine Ridge for a little bit. ❤️

Went to Get Woke for a turkey sandwich yesterday. Left with a new friend. 10/10 turkey sandwich. 11/10 random human interaction. Funny how life works sometimes. 🥪☕

Haithan feels like it's 97% heat and 3% bad decisions right now. 🥵☀️ The heat? Temporary. The bad decisions? Give it another hour... I am sure that will change. 😅🔥

It's not just the heat and humidity trying to take me out today... it smells like someone let out the world's most disrespectful fart and the weather decided to preserve it. 😭💀 Summer, I am begging you... do better.

Found water. Considered just staying here until the heatwave ends. 🥵🌊 At this point I'm not swimming for fun... I'm swimming for survival. If anyone needs me, I'll be pretending I'm part mermaid until the temperature drops. ☀️💙

Today's campus activity chasing shade like it's a competitive sport. 🥵🌳 This heatwave is brutal. At this point I'm convinced the grass is cooler than my apartment. 😂 If you need me I'll be under this tree until the weather remembers it's supposed to be livable. 💧☀️ Stay cool out there everyone. ❤️🧊

It's too hot to do anything but lay on the couch, sip a soda, and doomscroll. Clothing optional. Productivity not. 🥤☀️📱

Everyone notices the skyline. I keep noticing the wildflowers growing through cracked sidewalks. No permission. No perfect conditions. Just quietly blooming anyway. Maybe that's the whole lesson. You don't have to wait for life to become peaceful before you grow. 🌼🫶

Took me several days to finally get this picture. Classes. Cops. Assholes. Apparently they all had my schedule. Finally got it tonight, and honestly... I needed this little win. Sometimes you don't need to conquer the world. Sometimes you just need one thing to go right. 🌙🖤

Breaking news: My GPA and my sleep schedule have declared war on each other. I'm just the battlefield. 😭☀️📚

I know I probably shouldn't be saying anything since I don't even have my driver's license yet... But I'm fairly confident that's not the proper parking spot... or the proper parking technique. 😭 But who knows this city is just different. 🚗💀

Running almost entirely on caffeine stubbornness and the hope that tomorrows version of me has it all figured out. Until then. one step at a time. Fuckups don't define you. They teach you, make you stronger. Not every day has to be your best day. Sometimes making it to the end is the victory 💛

Found the cutest little witchy ice cream shop today. @hexandscoops.bsky.social 🧙‍♀️🍨✨ Potion bottles, cauldrons, spooky plants... the whole place felt enchanted. The ice cream was 10/10, but I'm pretty sure accepting the cherry on top might've been in exchange for my soul. 🍒😅 Worth it.

Fit check: ✔️ Common sense: ✖️ Bayou Brawls at Laveau today. 🐊🥊 It's hot enough to melt my eyeliner, and half this city seems to wake up choosing violence. If you see me sprinting, I'm probably just trying to stay out of someone else's bloody fight. Wish me luck... and hydrate. 😅🔥

Another week of college: survived. 🎓✔️ Rewarding myself with great tunes, an iced matcha, and a few blissful hours of pretending next week's assignments don't exist. Campus can have me back on Monday. 🍵🎶✨

It’s officially that part of summer where stepping outside feels like opening an oven. 🥵☀️ Too hot to do anything productive, so I'm just out here blowing bubbles and pretending that's a perfectly reasonable way to spend time before class. Honestly... it kinda is. 🫧✨

Out exploring and stumbled into the cutest little museum today. 🏛️ The artwork was amazing, and all the tiny handwritten notes were honestly adorable. Definitely stealing that idea for my place someday. 🖤 10/10 would absolutely wander back in here again. ✨

Lambda movie night at Church. ⛪🍿 Time to activate my "I've never done anything questionable in my life" face and hope nobody asks how my week's been. 😇

New outfit day and I'm honestly obsessed with this fit. 🤍✨ The denim, the turquoise, the vibe... 💙💛 Definitely adding this one to my favorites. 💙

Anyone got a bushel of sage and, like... two cartons of cigarettes? Pretty sure my ancestors are mad at me because the last 72 hours have been absolute chaos. Olly teaching a class was the end. At this point I need to make an offering before they decide to make things even more "interesting." 😭

Monday back to the grind checklist: ✅ Coffee ✅ Mental stability Campus Chat: ❌ Mental stability Five minutes in and I've witnessed enough chaos to last until finals. Whoever said college would be the best years of our lives definitely never had Campus Chat. 🍿🔥

BBQ fit: ✔️ Appetite: ✔️✔️✔️ After the last two days, my brain is officially off-duty. 😅 Time to forget the chaos and let Zeek's BBQ fix everything. 🍗🏝️ Off to the Island Theme BBQ! 🤤

BSKY Wars? 10/10. 🍿 Wouldn't recommend joining one... but watching? Different story. 👀

Expectation: Matcha and Chartbusters Comic-Con. Reality: Comic-Con... but no matcha. Villain mode activated. ⚡😡🍵 Hope to see you all at Chartbusters today.

Fallout & '50s Bash tonight. Good news: my caffeine addiction and lack of sleep already had me halfway to the apocalypse. ☢️☕😂
