Today's video is going to be my first day of spring semester.
But before we get into it, here's a word from today's sponsor.
In honor of this year's Grammy Awards, let's talk about my favorite music moments.
2025 music was truly next level.
Artists such as Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Deen, and Cat's Eye really stood out.
Sabrina Carpenter's short and sweet tour was pop perfection.
The visuals, the confidence, the vocals, and the way she owned every single moment.
The night I went to her concert was honestly unforgettable.
It was such a special memory for me and my mom to experience together, surrounded by thousands of fans in the stadium.
In exciting news, Sabrina Carpenter is nominated for Man's Best Friend and is performing this year.
Olivia Dean brought the most healing, feel-good energy.
Her music feels like a warm hug full of soul, honesty and emotion that makes you want to slow down and really feel.
To this day.
I'm always playing her songs cleanly my room, going on walks or just enjoying time at home.
And this is their first Grammy award nomination for best in orders, which is so awesome.
And Cat's Eye was pure girl power.
Their high energy and addictive choreography were so infectious that people all over the world were dancing to their music.
I even got to be in one of those dance classes and the energy in the room was absolutely unreal.
Cat's Eye received two Grammy award nominations.
How amazing is that?
I loved all of these moments, but there are so many more incredible artists, songs and memories that made 2025 such a special year for music.
And the biggest celebration of them all is right around the corner, the 2026 Grammy Awards.
See your favorite moments and videos about the Grammy Awards on YouTube.
You definitely don't want to miss it.
And now let's get into today's video.
Happy spring semester!
OMG.
You guys, how are we to my spring semester of my sophomore year?
I couldn't tell you.
I have no idea.
College goes by so fast.
It makes me really sad.
But we're not gonna focus on that right now.
But hello, everyone.
I hope you guys are doing amazing whenever you guys are watching this.
I assume by the time this video goes up, your spring semester has probably already started, or it's probably already been going.
So I hope the school is going well.
But for me, today is Tuesday, January 20th, and it's my first day of spring semester.
And as you can tell by my mood, I cannot be more excited.
But let's chitchat while I get ready.
I'm actually gonna take off my eye patches.
These are the Peter Thomas Roth ones.
You guys know I love these eye patches.
I'm gonna do my eyelashes with the shiseido eyelash curler, the L'Oreal lash paradise base and the see face better than sex mascara.
First things first.
Let me kind of just tell you guys what's been going on the past few 24 hours.
I actually just got home from Florida last night from UDA nationals, And if you guys haven't seen that vlog on my channel yet, I'll link it down below.
But Nationals was so amazing.
Yesterday was just kind of long because we went to Disney World in the morning and then had a whole travel day.
And I didn't get back to my dorm until like 10.30pm.
So by the time I unpacked and my night routine got all clean and got into bed, it was pretty late.
But nonetheless, I still had really great sleep.
I mean, I like knocked out.
You know the sleeps when you just feel like you blink and then you already wake up.
That was me this morning.
I was like what the heck?
I feel like i didn't even sleep, but i do feel rested.
But this morning i woke up pretty early at 6am.
I took my time.
I did my morning rituals bible studying and journaling then i got out of bed and started getting ready.
And now we are here.
I just combed my hair and now i'm doing my makeup.
I lowkey, already have to leave super soon.
I gave myself so much time to bible study and journal, but i think too much time to do that and not enough time to get ready.
So we're gonna do this kind of speedy Okay.
But let's talk spring semester.
I have such good feelings about the semester, you guys.
And I actually did some extra journal prompts this morning, kind of writing down how I'm feeling, how I want the semester to go.
So I wanted to talk to you guys about these.
And if you guys are into journaling, you can totally feel free to do these as well.
So the first question I asked myself was, what am I most excited about for spring semester?
I wrote down living my best life.
Basically, now that 90s is over and my schedule frees up a little more in terms of dance team, I'm just so ready to enjoy.
This semester, I want to explore San Diego more, enjoy the weather.
Spring semester weather, chef's kiss.
Also go out and have fun and do what a normal 20 year old does.
I just want to make so many memories this semester.
And, like I said, I feel it it's gonna be a good one.
Next question what kind of person do i want to be by the end of spring semester?
I want to be carefree, spontaneous and live in the present moment, focus on me and all the things that make me happy and just live with a lot of contentment and gratitude.
Next, going in with a junk elephant bronzy drops.
Next question how do i want to feel throughout spring semester?
Either, i want to feel confident disciplined joyful peaceful, consistent and fun loving.
Next question what is one area of my life i want god to grow or stretch in me this semester?
I want to find more faith-based communities, because there are definitely so many, not just in san diego but my school alone, and so that could look like finding groups on campus to bible study or go to church with people.
I think that's gonna be so beneficial for me to be along other god-fearing people and we can strengthen our faith together.
So i'm hoping to find that.
Next, going in with the road pocket blush and tested teddy and benefit benetton.
Next question what am i leaving behind from fall semester?
I basically wrote about feeling all over the place because i feel like fall semester i didn't find my balance yet just because it's the start of a new college year.
I had just joined my sorority dance team during fall semester is crazy busy and i don't know, your girl is just figuring a lot of stuff out.
But stepping into spring semester, i definitely feel like i have a hold on a lot of different things in my life and i know what i want to focus on and prioritize, and so i'm trying to remind myself that balance is key with everything in life and so it's time to find that this semester.
And then last question what does success look like for me this spring semester?
So I kind of split this up in different categories, just so I can focus on different aspects of my life.
First one being academically, I wanna stay on top of all of my courses.
I'm taking six this year, getting good grades and being on campus a lot more.
Emotionally, I wanna make sure I'm filling my own cup and constantly checking in with myself.
Spiritually, I wanna continue to grow my faith and be really intentional with my relationship with God.
And then finally socially, once again living my best life surrounding myself with great people and saying yes to more things, more opportunities, more things that might be a little uncomfortable or scary at first, but I know that will help me grow.
I just love a new semester because there's just so much to look forward to, and I can't wait to see what spring semester holds.
Going in with the Anastasia Clear Brow Gel.
I don't know what happened, but there's like a dent in the lid.
I don't know if something smashed it during the flight.
I don't know.
Still love this product.
But now let's talk about the plan for today.
Today, I have three classes.
Oh wait, actually, let me tell you the courses first.
Like I mentioned earlier, I'm taking six courses this semester.
Every semester before this, I've taken five.
But I'm pretty positive that I'll be able to manage it all.
Let me read it off my phone because I low-key forgot all the names.
I'm taking COM 300, COM 350, and JMS 460, and those are my in-person classes.
And then I'm also taking ECL 401, ENS 331, and RTM 304, which are my three online classes.
And you might be like, girl, what the heck are those classes?
But I'll talk more about them throughout the semester.
But today, I have my three in-person classes, so we are starting off with an ADM.
Oh!
Rip literally rip.
I tried my hardest, you guys, to not book an ATM, But this is the class that I needed, and the only time was this time.
I don't know.
It's kind of dramatic because an ATM is not really that bad, But I feel like if you're a college student you might be able to relate.
You know, Sometimes it's just easier to wake up for a 9am or a 10am class, but I'm not complaining.
It's going to be fine.
So that's my journalism class.
We're starting the morning with that.
Going in with the EDM lip balm in Bisacres.
And then later today I have my two comms classes, but I actually have to miss my last one.
I know you guys, it's literally the first day of school and I'm already missing a class, but I promise it's for good reason.
I'm working with Padres today and I'm doing a campaign with them.
I'll show that a little more later in this vlog, but like how cool.
And so Judy Coles, your girl's got to work.
So I'll just figure it out.
Oh, and also it's silly week.
So we shouldn't be covering too much material this week, hopefully.
So I shouldn't be too behind by missing one class.
And then later tonight, I want to hang out with my mommy, probably get dinner or something.
And that's the plan for the day.
Also, I just finished my makeup.
Just super natural, super easy.
Today, honestly, feels a little bit weird.
And let me explain why.
I kind of talked about this at the end of the Natty's vlog.
But for the past two, three months, I've been in what my teammates and I like to call dance land.
And my whole life has been about dance and not anything else.
And so the first day after we get back from national, it's almost like a culture shock, because we're like sitting in 8 am classes around people who have no idea what we just did for the last few months, which is fine obviously, like.
But it's just kind of crazy because i've only been with my team and haven't really interacted with a lot of other people until today, like i've been so used to campus being really empty, not a lot of people walking in the streets or around the gym area, and so even coming home last night and seeing my building was full, i was like, Oh my gosh, hello.
But that's another reason why I'm so excited.
It's because I feel like I am returning back to reality and like normal life.
And also, I miss my friends so much.
Oh my gosh, you guys have no idea how excited I am to see all of my people.
And you guys will actually see a few of them today.
But I've already made plans with them like later this week too.
Because I haven't seen them since fall semester.
So anyways, enough yapping.
I need to go soon.
Going in with the YSL Libre perfume.
Oh, another thing I'm excited about, you guys.
I really hope I have some eye candy in my glasses.
You guys know me.
I love a good crush at school.
Fingers crossed.
We'll see today.
I'll keep you guys updated.
Okay, now I'm going to put on some jewelry.
I always keep on my cross necklace.
It's from Amazon.
I can link down below.
And then I have these beaded gold bracelets from Binky Bell.
It came in a pack of three and they're so cute. like look at that i'm also gonna put on this bracelet from tiffany and co yes we are mix matching colors sorry about it but i think it's cute still and then also this bracelet also from amazon i can link it down below as well this ring from cartier and then this ring from binky bell boom and then i just have some gold hoops in okay yay oh top three songs of this morning stateside by pink pantheress and zara larson worth it by ray and rush by troye sivan so good got me in the best mood while i was getting ready All right, time to pack my bag.
We are bringing back out my AP backpack.
Let's go.
Another goal of mine this semester is to get way more involved with my sorority.
So I'm gonna say it in this vlog.
Hopefully you guys can be my accountability partner, but I'm gonna put more effort in now that I think I have more time on my hands.
Okay, but anyways, this is my backpack.
I put my boo-boos on here.
Bringing my laptop, of course.
I feel like college classes, or a lot of mine.
At least they don't even use notebooks or pens anymore.
A lot of it is just online, so that's essential.
But in case they do or that I need actual materials today, I'm going to bring this little notebook.
I actually got it from ColourPop in PR.
Look how cute it is.
It's a little smaller than an actual notebook, but it's just some lined paper.
And then I have my pencil case.
This little pouch is from Starbucks.
I just have right out a highlighter and two pens.
And of course, everything's pink.
In this wrong pocket I have my glasses, so I can see the board, my wallet, my AirPods and then my two lip balms.
Okay, I think that's it.
Oh, duh, I need my water.
I'll grab that on the way out.
First day of spring semester outfit of the day.
I'm wearing this black long sleeve from White Fox.
It's just a little cropped, super comfy material.
These jeans are from Hollister.
And then my Ugg low metals.
Oh, and I'm wearing my new sunglasses.
If you guys saw this, I think it was in the preparing for Natty's vlog, but...
I got these from Amazon.
I can also link them down below.
They're so cute.
It is time to go.
I wanted to leave like five minutes ago, so I'm not doing that bad on time, but let's head out.
Happy spring semester, everyone.
Oh my gosh, you guys.
I've missed San Diego so much.
It feels great to be back on campus.
The sun is shining.
In Florida, it was so cold.
There was like wind and rain every single day.
So I'm so happy to be back in the San Diego sun.
Thanks, mommy.
Heading to class right now.
You're excited or what?
I'm so excited.
It's going to be a great semester.
Oh my god!
Guys, we are so back!
So back!
I miss you!
I know!
Look at what I got!
I'm breakfast!
Oh my gosh, hi!
Wait, where's your voice?
Oh yeah!
Uh, Nadi's kind of did that to me.
It's defrosting right now.
We're back!
Oh my gosh, Hefner Hall.
Kisses to Hefner for good luck.
No one's out on campus.
It's 8am, guys.
Yeah, it's a little early for us.
It's the earliest ever.
So yeah guys, me and Audrey once again have the same class schedule.
Are we surprised?
Nope, we're not.
This one's a new class though.
Yeah, it's one of our journalism classes.
It's going to be so fun.
So hopefully it's a good one.
First class done.
I love it.
8 a.m. completed.
Wait, I really like our professor.
He is so wholesome.
Super precious.
And he, like, cares.
Yeah, you could tell he cares.
That's going to be a fun class.
And we have a little school.
Why?
You know, it's going to be fun.
Yeah, we already have, like, a school.
Yeah.
Today we did little ice rinkers, so it was like, uh... I have no idea.
I'm going home.
Oh, wait.
Goodbye, love you.
Love you.
Wait, where even are we?
Bye.
This is like...
Like I was saying, in class we were doing an icebreaker, like, who are you?
So he had us go one by one, introduce ourselves, and say a fun fact in why we're taking the class.
Both me and Audrey were comms majors and then we just added a minor in digital and social media studies, so we have to take a lot of journalism classes from now on.
So this is our, like, first real one.
Yeah, and it's an upper division one.
We're like, there's only three or four sophomores. or two of them.
So, yeah, it's pretty cool.
And hopefully we can get our butts up every day.
It sounds like an exciting class.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it does.
I think it'll be fun.
But now it is time for me and Audrey's big debrief, because we haven't seen each other in what feels like a long time.
It's been one month.
I know, but that is a long time.
From spending every single day with each other at Fall Sponsor to not.
Okay, but yeah, we're going to probably get some food and then just catch up.
Yay!
First Mangomania of spring semester.
We're so back.
We ended up getting burritos at Broca.
At 10 a.m.
Yeah.
Okay, I got a breakfast burrito.
Yeah, that's true.
I got a breakfast burrito.
Literally French fries.
Goodbye.
But we were drinking our smoothies and we were like, wait, we're kind of hungry.
Cheers!
I think y'all know what time it is.
I've been looking forward to this moment this whole morning.
I'm gonna take a nap.
Yay!
I'm back in my dorm, back in my cozy bed.
This bed is too comfortable.
I had such a hard time getting out of bed this morning, but I'm so happy I have time right now to rest.
Also, peep my new jelly cup!
This was Audrey's Christmas present.
It just came a little later so we couldn't do the exchange during Vlogmas.
But it's because she got me a custom jelly cat.
It's part of the Valentine's Day section, which is so funny because I was looking at these.
I swear I was about to buy this one too.
It's a white bunny.
It's holding a heart.
And she customized the ear to say Coley.
Are you kidding me?
It's perfect.
And I'm going to cuddle her while I take a nap.
My next class isn't for another few hours.
So I think I'm going to give myself like a solid two to just knock out, because your girl needs some rest.
I think I only got like five hours last night.
So this is going to be really good before the rest of our evening.
So I will see you guys after my nap.
Bye.
Good morning.
First nap of spring semester.
Guys, stop.
Look how cute my new bunny look.
I'm actually obsessed.
Literally, this is me and Audrey during the semester.
Me and Audrey go to class, then we go to our respected homes and then we nap, and then we call each other.
We just woke up from our naps.
Yeah, we're on the same wavelength.
Now I'm walking to my second class.
Guys, we just finished our second class.
Well, my second class.
My first class.
Our professor is so cute.
She's like this little Asian lady.
So precious.
It's a mask.
Yeah, she's a little sick.
Yay, I'm done with class for the day.
Technically finished with my first day of spring semester.
I think it went really well.
I like my professor so far.
So far.
We'll see if that changes.
No, I'm just kidding.
I also made some friends in both of my classes.
And then my third one that I was supposed to go to today, I have some friends in there as well.
So I'll be able to like catch up on everything.
So all is well.
Later tonight.
I do want to go through all of my online classes though, and make sure everything is good for those.
I can't wait to go through all of the syllabi and make my assignment tracker for the semester.
That is like one of my favorite things that I do to prepare.
I like color code it and make it all cute. when I customize my canvas as well.
But it is now time for the Padres campaign.
I'll talk about it more in the car when we're on the way there, but I think I can actually stay in the outfit that I'm wearing.
I'm gonna pack a few more options, but I'm basically ready to go.
My mom should be heading over right now.
Oh, so she's actually here.
So let me grab all my stuff and let's head to the Padres campaign.
Mommy!
Hi!
I miss you.
Hi!
Oh gosh, it's been a whole day since I saw you.
I know.
When I just saw her in Florida.
Isn't it crazy that we just got back from Florida just yesterday?
Yeah, dude.
Like I've been telling everyone in my classes, life just doesn't feel real because I've been in dance land.
Yeah.
The way we just jump back into things like right away.
Yeah guys, it's like even a really productive day all around, like school, with work.
That's the only way to do it.
And i literally told them at the beginning of this video that one of my goals for the semester is balance, because i feel like i didn't have a lot of that last semester.
Yeah, like well, I had a hard time trying to balance it all, but this time I'm trying to focus on enjoying it.
Yeah, it should be easier.
Second semester
What's up with all the commotion out here?
Oh, what's that?
Okay, so let me tell you guys about the Padres campaign.
They're doing a little shoot to show some of the giveaway items this year, So they asked me to be a part of it and I was like duh love the Padres team.
They're literally so sweet We're heading to hotel Del Hotei!
Hotei!
Nicole, English please.
We're headed to Hotel Del in Coronado, but they're doing kind of like beach bonfire vibes.
And I think it's gonna be really cute.
Oh, and then also me and mom are gonna hang out after.
Gotta get some din-din, you know?
Gotta get some din-din.
Hey guys.
Go Padres.
And that's a wrap.
What a cute little shoot.
That was so cute.
By the time this video is up, the Padres campaign should be up.
So I probably post it on my other socials.
But go check it out.
The new giveaway.
Giveaway merch.
I got to meet some of the Pod Squad.
More of the Padres team.
And everyone was just so nice.
It was super cute just shooting on the beach real quick.
They brought in a full-on living room on the beach.
Yeah, the set was adorable.
It's another level.
Yeah, and the new merch is very, very cute.
So, thanks, founders, for having me.
Fun little side quest on my first day of spring semester.
