Fun in the Sun
Today, I joined other members of my former lab for a picnic in Central Park. The weather was beautiful, the Burmese food great, the company awesome. It was a great 3 hour break from studying and stressing, but made it lot harder to get into the rhythm of studying once I got back to the dorms. Oh well, I'm just really glad I got to enjoy a few hours in the sun, because I know that for the rest of the week, I'll be missing my daily dose of Vitamin D.

Another Year Over
This week and next are finals. You know what that means! My sophomore year of college is coming to a close.
It has been a great year. I declared my major and got significantly closer to meeting the requirements of the Psychology honors major. I took a year long seminar, Victims of the Holocaust, which included fieldwork (visiting a survivor every week) that was both academically and personally rewarding. I worked my job as a city EMT full time the whole year, and got a part time job at another city EMS agency. I was recently accepted as a summer intern at a psychiatric emergency room and substance abuse clinic in Queens. All in all, my sophomore year has been productive and rewarding. I am looking forward to taking a nice and slow summer to appraise it all and do a lot of thinking about where I would like to go in the future.
On a more personal level it has also been a great year. Living and working in the city has allowed me to meet so many different kinds of people. I've made lifelong friends at work, at school, and through friends at other schools. It has been an exciting year outside of academics. But I won't go too much into that.
As finals come to a close and I spend long nights studying and hoping I can retain an ounce of the information I need to, I feel at ease that I am in a place of opportunity. Location-wise Manhattan is a great place to be, but both Macaulay and Hunter offer so many great programs, seminars, and courses that really make a difference. I can't wait to see what my junior year holds.

Happy Mother's Day!!!
Hello everyone!
Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mothers out there! <3
It's a gorgeous day in NYC and it finally feels like May.
There are only two days left in the semester and then finals and then freedom! haha
I think this will be my last blog post for the semester. But I might do some blogging over the summer. I've really enjoyed blogging all year. It's been fun to reflect on what I do each week and tell you guys about it. I hope you've enjoyed reading about my adventures and random musings.
I hope you all have a fantastic summer. Make sure its filled with lots of laughter, sunshine, and creativity!
Quote of the week:
“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.”
Much Love <3
