“Heyyyy thereeee” (this has been my most recent form of greeting people–yes, including my students).
With that said, I’ll ask the question: remember when I used to post every week? Those were the days...
Grad school is no joke, kids. It sucks away your time, energy and sleep. Notice how I didn’t include “soul” there. Why? Because the last 3 months have been some of the best of my life. During the last 100ish days I have been in the most creative, collaborative and supportive environment I have ever experienced. I have made new friends both inside and outside my department and there has been lots and lots of laughing. |
You know how, as a kid, you’d always hear adults say something along the lines of “find a job you love and you’ll never work a day in your life”? I have been living that cliche. *Not to brag* but I love every part of this hellacious schedule. That does mean, however, that some of the other parts of my life have taken a backseat: my blog included. But I had a class get canceled this afternoon so I figured that instead of relaxing like a normal person I’d key y’all in on what’s been going on thus far. (Oh yeah, I say y’all now).
If you follow me on Instagram then you’ll notice that I’ve been working with a few brands as an ambassador, Yosi Samra and K-Swiss just to name a few. I have an incredible photographer who has been keeping my content flow very comfortable and I am finally learning how the hell to work Photoshop. And code. And shoot video. And teach. |

Lastly, I’ve learned that it’s really, really important to let yourself have fun. Man, I could write an entire article about this one. Another grad-friend who has a year under her belt told me not too long ago that “grad students need to have fun too!” and it really stuck with me. I have been scheduling plans with friends for every weekend, making time for little things for myself and never, ever working while having dinner.
It’s not glamorous in grad school but I am the happiest I have ever been. |
