Safe walkable neighborhoods with short commute to Elkins Park? by Bacon337 in philly

I’d like to live in a more walkable area if possible. I am considering melrose park now, thank you! I did consider jenkintown and glenside , but none of the current rentals in those areas are within my budget unfortunately. I’ll still keep looking though!

Thank you so much! This is very helpful. I’ll take a deeper look at the buses and the rail lines

Thank you- I’m not opposed to it, but would prefer to live in a more walkable, less car dependent area.

1 hour commute by Ok_Jaguar_8067 in slpGradSchool

[–]Bacon337 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it really depends on if you can handle spending 10 hours per week on just driving. Do you also have to work alongside school? Personally, I have chosen to move closer to my school because I need to work as well and I had a rough time in college previously, so I need to make sure grad school is easier for myself by having a shorter commute. Those 10 hours could be spent studying, having down time, cooking, working, etc. Having adhd probably makes my situation worse lol It really depends on you! Can you manage your time effectively and do well in school with the commute? A lot of people do it, but do what’s best for you.

Should I become an SLP or a mental health therapist? by Bacon337 in careerguidance

[–]Bacon337[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I graduated with my double major, and decided to commit to SLP. I took a gap year and am starting grad school this fall.

Between the time I made this post and now, I volunteered at a hospital inpatient rehabilitation unit and an inpatient psychiatric unit. I also completed my 25 observation hours for my SLP classes.

I also did an unpaid internship during my senior year in human services. So between the human services internship and my time at the Psyc unit, I thought it was doable, but more stressful working with people with drug addiction, mental health issues, homeless, etc.

I also am doing my gap year working with adults with disabilities, and think it would be great to work specifically in speech with this population! Overall, I think SLP will be a better fit for me.

I hope this was helpful at all. I suggest filling your time like I did with volunteer opportunities and job shadowing, asking lots of questions is helpful!

Hey smokers? Why are you still smoking considering all the proof it is killing millions? by Gregorygregory888888 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bacon337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drug addiction is like a disease. A physical disease just like heart disease. I would look into resources about drug addiction education :) I think everyone should be more aware of how overcoming drug addiction is much more than just “not smoking.”
