2018 brought a lot of trial and tribulations my way. I took many difficult classes that I somehow passed. I loss friends and family members, all while trying to build back up my mental health. I made it through 2018, and nothing can tell me 2019 isn't going to be a great year.

Taking the MCAT

Giphy

Though this isn't necessarily something people are usually excited about, I've been studying for the MCAT for a month now, and I'm so stressed. And I still have three more months to go. I can't wait to take it, and be done with it!

Applying for Med School

Giphy

I've been working for this my whole academic career. And the day I submit my applications for med school will make all the tears and long night worth it!

Graduating

Giphy

College has been one of the most mentally tolling things I have ever done, but just like sending in my med school applications, it will all be worth it when I walk across that stage and receive my diploma.

Going to New York

Giphy

It's been a long time since I've been home to New York. I can't wait to visit my family, and just be around the great atmosphere and excitement you only get when you go to New York. As well, I plant to scope out some medical schools while I'm there, which will make this new transition in my life feel all the more real.

Going to Tennessee

Giphy

I've never really been to any state besides New York and Florida. I'm excited to embark on this service trip will my fellow Bulls, and experience a new place while simultaneously educating myself, others, and providing a positive service through Bulls Service Trip

Turning 21!

Giphy

Of course turning 21 is something everyone looks forward to! It's not even about the drinking (even though that's definitely gonna go down), but it's just the feeling of turning 21. It's a right of passage. And I can't wait!

Getting My Dog Certified as a Therapy Dog

My puppy has changed my life since I got him in August. He is prescribed to me as an emotional support animal, and the moment I got him I went from having 2-3 panic attacks a week, to maybe once a week. And when I do have a panic attack, he is the most supportive thing ever! I know that he has the capabilities to bring the same positivity to others. I hope that this year I can start the process of getting him certified as a therapy dog, and hopefully volunteer at the VA

Getting my RBT License

Giphy

I have worked with people and children with disabilities for the last five years, and I have a strong passion for it. This year I hope to finally become a registered behavioral technician so my job can become something I've always loved, rather than just a job.

Spending more time with family

Giphy

After graduating, I know I will have so much more time to spend with my family. They have been my rock through the last three years of college. They understand when I can't talk on the phone. They understand when I can't come home as often. And I just can't wait to come home for a few weeks and spend some time with the people I love

Having a great year!

Giphy

With all the greatness I have to look forward to this year, I have no doubt that this year will surpass 2018!

Happy New Year!!!

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
