Okay, real talk time. 🎾 Today’s match was... rough. Like, 'serve straight into the net three times in a row' rough. Part of me wants to laugh it off (because honestly, it’s kinda hilarious), but the other part? That little voice hissing 'see, you’re not good enough.' Ugh. Why do our brains do that? 😅

But hey—freshman year is for growing, right? Gonna channel this into extra practice (and maybe some aggressive stress-baking tonight). Also, if anyone has tips for quieting the self-doubt gremlins, please share. Mine’s way too chatty today. 🍪⚡ #TennisFail #GrowthHurts #SugarTherapy (P.S. Cookie recipes welcome!)
