Hello, everyone! It's time for another year review. I honestly can not believe how fast this year has gone by but I've done and achieved a lot of things this year. This year was a good one.
Academic Life : 10/10
I FINISHED POSTGRAD! Finally, after a year of master's thesis writing and a little less than two years of doing master's degree. I'm proud of my thesis and how I finished it while showing my niche and specialties in law that I finally found now. Not only that, I was also the valedictorian (minus the speech) of that period of graduation in my study program. It was still unbelievable how I managed to do that but now I'm just gonna pat myself in the back and tell myself I did a great job.
Work : 9/10
I got another "job" this year. The reason I put the quotations there was because it's not official and I do it by project but I still got paid. The "job" is being my professor's research assistant and I enjoy it so much. It started with me setting up his ResearchGate and Academia account by basically doing inventory of my professor's Scopus indexed papers, then it evolved into networking with other researchers from other countries for opportunities in collaborating for academic papers in the future. And lately, I've been making research proposals, research papers, community service based papers, and I was swamped with work the whole month of December but it's something that I enjoy doing and I hope that I can do this kind of work more in the future. Also update from my freelance remote job, I got some money to finally be able to buy a tablet by my own money, that's a huge achievement for me.
Family : 8/10
This year was quite a good one for relationship dynamic with my parents and my family in general. Also, there is a new addition to the family this year, I have a baby nephew and I'm an auntie now! It's just all very exciting to see what he's able to do each day and all the cute shenanigans he's up to everyday. I hope that I can be a good auntie for him.
Friends : 5/10
I lost a friend who was very close to me in college. I'm so sorry that I didn't find out or try to look for updates on her earlier, but I just hope that she's no longer in pain and I'm gonna watch and enjoy the things we both enjoyed in the past as a way for me to remember her in a good light.
Physical Health : 6/10
I got flu for 2 months straight and I hated it so much because it ruined my plans of holiday abroad due to the fever that I was having there that forced me to stay in the apartment I was staying. And now as I'm writing this, I feel like my throat is drying up again, fuck.
Mental Health : 7.5/10
My mental health is much better this year. Sure, it did get stressful at some points because of a lot of things. And I felt a little bit of an impostor syndrome due to all of the achievements that I got this year. Did I actually do all that? Or was it just because I had a lot of help this year? But I managed to push that feeling aside for now and being swamped with work is actually a good thing because I can forget it for now but I know I need to face it later, it's not good to just keep it on the backburner. Also I found new interests that make me happy this year. I realized that I like to go to photobooth and made memories with my loved ones to look at in the future. The second one was sticker collecting, I just recently started collecting stickers and I prefer the ones in vintage style. But overall, my mental health was better this year compared to last year. I don't want to jinx it, I want to keep it going.
Fangirl Life : 9/10
If last year was the year of obsession coming back, this year was the year of new obsessions. I got into F1 this year, finally, I know. I've always thought of F1 as something that I will lose myself to if I got into it, and I was right. F1 was always on my radar but I just got into it this year because my friend just thought that I would be good romantically with Oscar Piastri (I know, I do this a lot with my friends actually) then I looked him up on Tiktok and 2 hours later, I became obsessed with F1, particularly this Australian F1 driver named, well, Oscar Piastri. Although he didn't win this year, but he managed to lead the championship standing for I wanna say almost 8 months? And brought the fight to the very last round of the season only in his third year in the sport. I hope that he'll win multiple world champion title in the future, it's written in the stars for him. Other than F1, I had a hyperfixation with Bollywood movies, especially the ones that were released in late 90s and early 2000s. I watched so many of them after I did my master's thesis defense. I got so into the storylines, the soundtracks. Even three of my top 5 in my 2025 Spotify wrapped were Bollywood songs and you can actually check what are the ones that I like so far on my Top 5 Bollywood Movie post. Now, by the end of the year, I fell in love again with Seventeen, the Kpop group after watching their travel variety show with Na PD, Nana Tour. They're also one of the groups that both my friend who passed this year and I enjoyed together in the past so it was a bit painful at times but they also reminded me of the good times that I had with my friend. So I really enjoyed all of my hyperfixations this year, both new and older one that came back.
So overall score for this year is 7.8. It was much better than last year and I felt that too. 2025 was the best year for me in a while and I hope that 2026 will be an even better year for me and for you who currently reads this post! I'll see you in the next post and next year!
