Gentle Rhythms & Study Vibes

Today’s Colors: Soft Yellow for Warmth, Cool Grey for Calm

This Thursday felt softer than most. Not rushed, not too heavy, just a quiet rhythm that matched how I was feeling.

I woke up around 7 a.m. because my friend had slept over. When they left, I went back into bed and fell asleep again until 10 a.m. Sometimes, your body just needs that rest. I didn’t fight it.

Cleaning, Cooking & Catching a Vibe 🎶🍲🧹

Once I got up, I started cleaning my space, music playing in the background. There’s something about cleaning while vibing to your favourite songs, it just makes everything feel lighter and more meaningful.

After that, I made myself some food. I took my time and actually enjoyed the process. That small joy of cooking for yourself, in peace? It hits different.

Study Flow & A Sunset Walk 📚🌆

After eating, I went straight into my studies. I have been preparing for a test next week, so I want to stay consistent. I studied until about 5 p.m., then gave myself a break and went for a walk. The fresh air, the quiet… it was the perfect way to clear my head and reset.

When I got back, I relaxed and watched a series on my PC, just something light to end the day with.

💡 What I Took from Today:

  • Music makes everything feel better, whether you are cleaning or cooking

  • Rest is part of being productive

  • A little fresh air can refresh your mind in ways no screen can

  • Balance is key: study hard, but don’t forget to breathe

From Confusion to Purpose: My UJ Journey@20

Reflecting on my transformative journey at the University of Johannesburg as it celebrates 20 years of shaping lives, building future and empowering communities. My UJ story is one of growth, purpose, and hope. Here’s how the University of Johannesburg changed my life.  I did not just study at UJ, I grew, struggled and rose and in all I found is something greater: me. A first year- year of fear In 2024, I arrived at the Auckland Park Bunting Campus with a heart full of hope and my head full of doubts and confusion. I was worried about fitting in, finding lecture venues because I did not attend First Year Experience and passing my modules in Public Relations . I had no idea how to use a student portal, no friends, and no clue how to do things online. Everything felt different, the platforms, the people, and the pressure. But as the months went by UJ became more than a campus, it became my new home. I learned how to use my student portal, how to do things online and how time ma...

Why I Chose to Keep Writing

-
 This is not my first time blogging, I actually started writing during a university assignment for UJ’s 20-year celebration. But something about that experience stayed with me. I realised how much I enjoyed slowing down, reflecting, and capturing the colors of my daily life. So, this time, I am doing it for me. So here I am. Still writing. Still reflecting. This space, My Days in Colour , is my way of turning ordinary days into something meaningful.  I am currently a student at the University of Johannesburg, studying Public Relations and Communication. Life is full of lessons, wins, struggles, and stories, and this blog is my way of saying all of it. Whether it is reflecting on a lecture, sharing a song, or just venting about a tough day, I am putting it all here. What this blog is about Daily reflections as a student and growing adult The behind-the-scenes of student life at UJ Honest thoughts, sudden moments Songs, sounds, and moods Lessons I am learning by living Why I c...

Waking up with a Purpose

-
  Hooray! I actually woke up at 6 a.m. today and did my morning prayer, something I had planned for yesterday but missed. It felt really good to start my day aligned and peaceful. I had a 9 ;40 a.m. class, so I got ready and headed to campus. In class, the lecturer explained the assignment expectations, which helped clear up a few things. Then something sweet and unexpected happened… Free Juice & Warm Moments  After class, we passed by the Student Centre, and guess what? They were giving out free juice ! As if they knew I needed it, because I had only brought biscuits. That little gesture reminded me how powerful giving can be. Seeing people smile and say “thank you” for something small is honestly such a joy. It made me realise: “Giving back brings joy to both the giver and the receiver.”   Study Sessions & Real Conversations Later, I chilled with my friend while we ate, and then we jumped back into study mode,  still preparing for my test next week. We ask...
