Aesthetic day in the life vlog from @_misomelon
The creator documents a 'painfully realistic' workday, starting with her train commute to a quiet office. She works, eats lunch at her desk, then commutes home to continue working on a walking pad. Her evening includes a quick workout, changing for dinner, meeting her future brother-in-law, and observing the crowd outside a Knicks game before ending her day.
