Day in the Life 📒 seeing clients, boxing, + schoolwork

Hey all, today I’m going to be blogging about a day in my life of practicum. Because my schedule started at noon, I had time to my self in the morning. Self care means doing not just the things you want to do but also the things you have to do. Looking at the pile

Exhausted

Today the good morning guy said “good morning, miss!” from the entrance to the subway, same as ever. “Your ‘good mornings’ make my day,” I told him, meaning it. He grinned. I asked if I could buy him a pastry in gratitude. It’s hard to tell if he’s homeless, but even if he’s not, who

Week in My Life | Leading Group Therapy + Sleep Struggles

Today marks the conclusion of the busiest week of my entire life. School officially started, and so did practicum. I wake up at 6:20 every morning and the day passes in a flurry of bus rides and classes. Every morning that I get off the bus, I am greeted by a cheery homeless man who

Hello, friends! Welcome back to a tradition called “Vera Posts an Off-the-cuff Blog Post About Anything that Comes to Mind at 10:45 pm”. Aka, a day in my life. I hope you’re not reading this as late as I am writing it. Today started off productively, as I hoped it would. I spent 30 minutes

Blognukkah ✡️ Day 8: When All You Want is a Lazy Day

Today, I am tired of being productive. I just want to loaf. This is problematic because I have more to do than ever. Sure, class may be over, but I have three personality assessments due tomorrow night that must be absolutely perfect, as well as a workman’s compensation report to finish. And work tonight. And

Grad School Online and Accidental Weight Loss: A Life Update

Recently, I learned that my first semester of grad school is going to take place online. I had rosy dreams of riding the subway (this is how you know I’m a rookie), carrying my bag in one hand and my binder full of notes in the other. I would wear business casual clothes and stop
