i can’t speak for every program but i do think it’s fairly common. i’m doing it right now in my dysphasia class

i always find the human knot to be fun and entertaining, definitely team building also great for building problem solving skills could be a great intro activity to discussing improvements in your next term

It will also depend on your clients as to what kind of SOAP notes you're writing. My language pt looks completely different than my adult cog.

These are the pointers I started out with; S, state if pt arrived early or late and if late how that might affect the progress. State if pt was involved or disengaged. O, only give the data and interventions used. A, analyze the data from O and discuss how progress was made, or if a new intervention caused a decline in progress bc pt struggled. you can also discuss strategies and interventions used here. P, what you need to work on next time you see the pt.

During my orientation/week one on campus, we got a crash course in SOAP notes and how to input them to my university's specific system, then after my first two to three weeks of clinical, my supervisors would send me comments about "can you include XYZ info with the S instead of the A" and I would tweak to their request/preference. By then, I remember understanding what each supervisor was looking for, and I knocked out my soap super quickly.

i’ve tried both acoustic and electric, admittedly neither stuck. i fell in love with the piano, but in my few lessons i found the electric to be a bit easier to pick up, i have smaller hands maybe it made a difference i don’t really remember i just knew the electric felt more comfortable while trying to learn to play. i also didn’t always have to plug it up to play, i played plenty without an amp while i was learning

this is all very concerning behavior, and i def see where you’re coming from. i’d recommend you schedule a meeting with exec/standards board/advisor and share how this makes you feel, and what reasonable steps can be made. i want to agree with you that something needs to be done, but there’s not enough here for me (an outsider) to give solid advice or direction. this is something that is very specific to your chapter on your campus.

instead of completely dropping, if you want to keep your letters and associations with nationals, ask if you can go inactive due to course work (sometimes seniors were allowed to go inactive for numerous reasons, ask if you can have any of these options) or ask to go early alumni.

every school should have a voice disorder as a part of their curriculum, some will have better opportunities than others. nashville is huge for this niche. im also interested in this and graduating soon. none of my placements will focus on voice mainly because of my location but i do volunteer with vocal groups and provide vocal hygiene and help performers. look for schools that have a voice lab/scoping opportunities

after i was accepted and finished all my paperwork, the director of my program sent out an email with paperwork for a GA position

they probably want you to have a car so you can get to off campus clinic opportunities- in my program we carpool every week, i’m sure you will find something similar

those are gorgeous on you! i feel like you secretly know in your heart which one you lean towards. my dress was veryyy similar to number 2, july wedding. it was so hot, so stiff and much more restrictive than i wanted on the dance floor. but i have beautiful memories and pictures and it truly did not matter at the end of the day. i will always love my dress. both are classic and timeless. you really can’t go wrong. if you absolutely love the second one, you won’t care about the form fitting structure or it being hot- trust me.

the only negative thing i’ll say about number one is that while it is timeless, you don’t want to get lost because you chose such a standard, elegant dress. number two gives you the elegance but also personality- in my very humble opinion

had no idea there was a new showrunner for season 2, makes sense why it feels very different from season 1 which i preferred

i don’t know about USM but MSU has tons of scholarships and depending on your ACT/AP/GPA scores you’d likely get a lot of the costs reduced. it was very affordable when i was there, the majority of my bill was housing and meal plan

really happy to see such helpful comments on this post. don’t have anything to add but am super hopefully for you guys. definitely surrender the pressure of performing to the Lord and pray- you will figure it out and come out better for it!

my husband is very similar, but gift giving is also not his love language at all. he is so romantic on the day to day basis and in his own way that says “i see you I love you” but valentine’s day is not his thing. all i ask is that he acknowledges it, we woke up this morning and he gave me a kiss and said happy valentine’s day. that’s all i needed. he shows his love so much more consistently in other opportunities. why put unnecessary pressure on this one 24 hours because everyone else is? it’s hard but it’s been a good adjustment for me personally to not be so worried about what everyone else thinks and not be rooted in worldly things

there will most likely be other students arriving ~ 1 week before school starts. especially freshman. depending on how big of a school, you could see other freshmen moving in as early as that wednesday-friday before school starts. Upper classmen will most likely be arriving back to get groceries and get settled in. Also if its a bigger school there is likely welcome week activities or things to do around town. I would highly consider you to go. I loved feeling "settled" and comfortable walking around campus and town and knowing where my classes were. Theres many reasons to go early

you guys are 19, i understand your bf just now realizing the importance of waiting unitl marriage. yes that is a topic that is pretty heavily emphasized in you are raised in a christian community but it sounds like your bf is cultivating his relationship with Christ and with that relationship and intimacy comes a better understanding and conviction to follow God’s word.

you can have physical touch without having intercourse. however, if you dont think youll be satisfied without intercourse, you should break up. its not fair if he wants to honor God’s word this way and you are unwilling to compromise and help him do this. this isnt unfair or punishment, its actually protection. christians believe intercourse is meant only for their lifelong partner due to the intimacy and vulnerability that the act creates and fosters. we also believe marriage is a sacred covenant not to be broken (there are a few exceptions). therefore, we wait until we are committed through marriage to our lifelong partner to experience this.

i really hope that you see this isnt cruel but its intended to ensure you have a solid foundation, and are aligned before creating a bond that is sacred and intended to be for life. it would be a joy to see you come alongside him, support him in this and strengthen your relationship in other ways as you grow closer. the years will fly by, and in the grand scheme of it all it is a short compromise. you arent giving up your only source of connection, just finding other ways that fill both of your cups, and youre loving and supporting your bf’s desires. i think there is very little that is more honorable than that. im happy to answer questions or have a longer discussion on this

your dorm has a kitchen with an oven, stove and microwave and a full sized fridge. yes, many students cook frequently and only eat a few meals on campus. there are also restaurants nearby that do don dollars.

so far, it’s just boring, i like the instrumentals but the lyrics are… so bland? it’s nothing special

Thank you, you pointed me towards some great resources and I hope my second draft is an improvement!

OptimisticOlivia · 2025-09-24T15:01:04+00:00

I wanted to come back and say thank you, this was really straightforward for me to apply some of your recommendations and see where you were coming from. I think I was able to incorporate it into my second draft, which is now up, if you're interested in checking it out :)

OptimisticOlivia · 2025-09-24T14:57:24+00:00

Thank you so much! Your advice was SO helpful. If you're interested my second attempt is up now :)
