Father’s Day
Two months ago, exactly, my father passed away after fighting many serious medical issues. From December to April he fought and surpassed all odds of making it as long as he did. Today is Father’s Day, the first that I’ve had to spend without him. Sure we never really went out or did anything special aside from me giving him a gift—usually chocolates that was probably really bad for him—but even not doing that little gesture of giving him a gift and a card weighs down on my heart today.

Striving to Become Skin & Bones
I watched the Dr. Oz show for the first time this past Wednesday because the topic of discussion for the day was very interesting to me and I thought that it may be of interest to my readers as well. The topic of discussion was anorexia nervosa. I’ve studied anorexia in the past and even knew someone who was anorexic, but it’s always so surprising to hear the stories some of these people have to tell about how they got to the point they are at.

Interview 101
Yesterday I had an interview with a company that I hope to do my practicum/internship* next spring. I was so nervous about it, which really is to be expected. The thing that I didn’t realize was that I didn’t need to be nervous about the interview because I was already prepared for it. I had started preparing for this interview months in advance even before I had gotten it and though I was nervous, I also knew that I was ready. People seem to think that interviews are not easy to prepare for, but here are some tips that I’ve discovered helped me when preparing for my interview: Continue reading →

Gone but Not Forgotten
Being away from your significant other is difficult to say the least—especially when you’re not used to being away from them for long periods of time. This is something my husband and I are currently going through. He’s away at a conference for a week and I’m here at home waiting patiently for his return. As I said, it’s difficult to deal with, but there are ways that you can make it easier being separated from the one you love. Continue reading →
