Writing down three things I'm thankful for every day has honestly been an amazing way to wind down my day. It helps me reflect on the goodness in my days, even if I'm not in the best mood.

A big no-no for recycling items is heavily-soiled papers/plastics. Recycling plants cannot accept these materials that are heavily saturated with oils, soaps, etc. The most difficult part for me is knowing that most that I recycle won't actually be turned into something new.

For the most part, I've been able to get at least 8 hours of sleep each night. I wasn't able to last night because of a late night closing shift.

Learning about which items can actually go in the recycling for San Diego has been really important. It's helping me be more conscious about what I put in the blue bin.

Today was the first day in over a week that I was able to see the sun. I didn't realize how much I missed it until I felt tears in my eyes at seeing it.

I've switched to being fully vegetarian and it's been making my body feel much better! I do miss eating chicken though.

Creativity is a necessity because you need to think of new ways to use the items you already have instead of going out and buying new ones that you don't need.

The water-bottle filling stations around campus really help me stay consistent in drinking water from my hydroflask.

These are the things I’m grateful for today:

I could schedule a time to go to the grocery store with a friend. This would make sure we both get groceries but don't separately use gas to get there and back.
