My first brokerage account
After a few years of using Acorns, I’m taking a stand to achieve some financial goals as a 25M

The college semester is ending soon and it’s likely I won’t be home for the summer. Being a graduate assistant is rough sometimes along with likely being undiagnosed
On one hand I can do whatever I want and relax like what my mom and several members of my family plus friends told me to do but on the other hand I want to improve myself and get better. Fix some things about myself and clear things within my backlog
I hate sitting on my butt doing nothing but sometimes I’m prone to procrastination. It pisses me off when I do something and I realize how fast it took me as I could’ve done it days, weeks,months or years ago
All my life I’ve been on autopilot walking down a grey hallway. I feel numb to all my milestones as I feel like these things that I’m supposed to do and deserves no fanfare
Thankfully I’m not a doomer or prone to destructive habits but the call is getting louder some days.
After reading the Boggle wiki, I did a small rework of my Schwabs Brokerage portfolio by getting a share of SCHZ and using what’s leftover in SWPPX
Over 90% of my portfolio is ETF mainly SCHB since I only had it for a month but going with this 3-fund method should help structure at least one plan at 25

I’m 25M and wanted to make better financial choices. I already have an Acorns investment account giving me some insight on what to invest in later but they block personal choices behind a paywall
I already have 2 shares of SCHB and 1 share of SCHD so it’s a start
I don’t really have a specific plan or goal but I hope my brokerage gets to 1/4 of my Acorns account by September or by end of the year
Any advice for a total beginner please?

I've been in creative rut for a while now and think I lost my touch for it a bit. Hopefully this kick started the grey matter since she's part of my mini-DnD NPC villain group called the Beastresses of Burden.
I just need one more member for a full party. If you want to take a crack at it, go fo it.
Here you go:
It’s a pain. You feeling your body rotting as you drag yourself through a dull void. Yet you’re normal. You function like most humans but you feel nothing
Even your peak feels like you’re suffocating at the bottom. You don’t clean your room, shower, eat or whatever. Then you do. You wonder why can’t you do this all the time. The desire to be normal isn’t obtainable. Days blur. Silent hours with dizzy thoughts
You don’t feel like living but you’re not in a hurry to die
How would this be described?
It’s like being smart enough to be in Ivy League but not smart enough to get a scholarship
You’re pretty to be in a magazine but never on the front page
You qualified for the Olympics but you’re not giving home a medal
You always but never will
Food and math is the langauge of the world but food is generally much better. Cultures mixing, matching and enjoying each other's local cusines. We have Italian, French, German, Hispanic, various Asian countries like Thai, Indian, Chinese and so many more
I'm trying to expand my food library and cooking skills so I can post and share to my mom and make her jealous.
Also drinks too. (I have a dutch oven, crockpot, airfryer, electronic tea kettle, instant pot and two cast irons)
I’m 25 and bought two shares of SCHB via Schwab. I already have an investment account with Acorns since 2021 but now I want more control and influence on where and how I spent my money
I have my eyes on SCHD and some of the big names like VOO and JEPQ/I
