With roughly three and a half weeks left in this semester, I'm both excited and terrified for final grades to come out. I definitely missed my fair share of lectures because of my health issues so my test scores haven't been fantastic. However, most of my classes this year have written papers and presentations making up a huge chunk of my final scores. My disability accommodations have come in clutch for when I needed flexible deadlines for school, I'm super grateful that my school offers that and has a supportive and efficient disability services department.  Wishing all the best to anyone else on their home stretch, school wise and in general. 2022 is coming to a close and hopefully we all accomplish what we can and plan for success in the new year.

So I’m going back to school after taking a year off and I’m both anxious and excited. After my sophomore year ended poorly because of lockdown related mental health issues among other reasons I decided to do something else. Did some research and went to a healthcare career trade school and completed a 9 month long Clinical Medical Assistant program. Leave it to me to go to school on my gap year from school lol. Of course while working partime 😅 because I NEEDED  to get out the house. The isolation after being sent home sucked ass. Now that restrictions have been lifted, and in person classes have resumed, I figured it was time to go back and finish my bachelors. I’m a Nutrition Science major and I’m taking mostly major related upper level classes and one Sociology course; I’m minoring in Sociology at the moment- unsure if I want to make it a second major instead. Online school tanked my confidence as a student and this semester is going to be me proving to myself (and others) that...
