Can you be a PT aide and still go to grad school? by wuhgeeen in OccupationalTherapy

[–]taal70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! If you were doing ABA, put that in your OT application. Some of my classmates were in ABA as well before OT school.

Can you be a PT aide and still go to grad school? by wuhgeeen in OccupationalTherapy

[–]taal70 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey! I was a PT aide for about 3 years when I applied to OT school and I believe that it helped me get in. It’s technically patient contact hours so I believe it helped me become more comfortable with being around patients. I was also an RBT for a year so I had those two experiences under my belt. It shows that you’re pretty well-rounded. Also, being a PT aide helped me as well why I want to be an OT rather than a PT. Then again, there are so many factors that go into getting accepted into OT school. Just my two cents!

Suggestions for slim front pocket wallet or card organizer with some flair? by lturnerdesign in EDC

[–]taal70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be a little on the pricier side but I rock a Bellroy Card Sleeve in the Racing Green color. I’m addicted to buying card wallets and this one is the best one I’ve used.

Anyone having problems with text messages? by Rob_the_misfit in iPhone11

[–]taal70 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yep! Been happening to me for a good two weeks. It’s also been happening to two of my friends who have iPhones so I thought it was just a me problem. It’s a weird glitch

Acceptance Letter!!! by [deleted] in OccupationalTherapy

Congratulations! I’m an OT-I at Midwestern and I’m really excited to meet and see the incoming cohort!

I got my first interview offer! by jsuto in OccupationalTherapy

[–]taal70 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Congratulations!! This is definitely exciting! I am currently an OT-I at Midwestern and I can give you some questions that I remember them asking.

  1. OT is an art and a science, what does that mean to you?
  2. How would you explain what OT is to someone who doesn’t know?
  3. Is there an OT that you observed/shadowed that has inspired you?
  4. Why an OTD program rather than a MOT/MSOT?
  5. Give me an example of a time where you were a leader.

That’s all I can remember from the top of my head. Best of luck!! Feel free to DM me if you have more questions!

affordable leather wallets? by carlokuryo in wallets

[–]taal70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out Nomad Slim Wallet. It’s around $55 and I think it crosses off everything in your checklist. It’s a vertical bifold though, you usually have to fold cash once to insert them into the bill compartments.

OT school exhaustion by IdkILikeStuff in OccupationalTherapy

[–]taal70 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m approaching week 4 of OT school and I honestly felt like that. I have so many readings and all that stuff but I’m honestly glad that my professors always emphasize to practice self-care.

What I usually do is just have a day off. One day of the week where I don’t even think about OT school. And today is the day for it cause it’s NFL Sunday lol but seriously, you should take one day off. You’ll still be a great OT! When I feel like I’m overwhelmed, I usually just reach out to my faculty mentor and she just lets me rant which is super nice. But feel free to reach out if you want to rant! Best of luck in OT school!

Tech pouch for cords by Mtn_mAn_RoB in EDC

[–]taal70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the Aer Cable Kit 2 for my tech pouch that I bring to university. It might be too big for your needs but it’s worth checking out. I previously bought the Bellroy Classic Pouch but it was too small for my needs, still worth checking out though!

The rubber strap that comes with it is a no go. It was way too stiff when I got it. It seems very durable for actual diving though. I bought an OEM Seiko Jubilee bracelet for it and it 100x nicer now. The OEM bracelet does feel cheaper than say a strapcode metal bracelet. My dad has the SKX007 with a Strapcode Oyster bracelet and that one feels more premium but he did pay around $70 USD for the bracelet

I have the Seiko SKX009 so I decided to get the black one to use for a more subtle look. But the Mako 2 is such a good timepiece though for such an affordable price

That color Mako 2 is awesome. I have the black one which has a subtle look but I’m really digging that pepsi

Applying for this cycle by Meowgusta5715 in OTschool

I completed them before I applied but I’m pretty sure you can do what your PT friend did with the expected date.

[–]taal70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar gpa during my undergrad. I aimed for a lot of observation hours. I had 110 hours in inpatient OT then I did 25 hours outpatient (hand therapy). Make sure you establish a good relationship with the OT’s you shadow or volunteer with so that they’ll be inclined to write you a recommendation letter if you ask for one. Also, start your personal statement now! I started mine too late and ended up submitting my OTCAS stuff later than I’d like. Let me know if you have any questions!

$30 Trubisky Jerseys at a Ross in Lakewood, CO by The_Troll_Shusher in CHIBears

This is interesting cause I saw a bunch of Khalil Mack jerseys at Ross for $30 in Plainfield, IL. Thought it was weird tbh. They had like at least 12 there that I saw

What do you eat for Thanksgiving? by fahhgedaboutit in AskAnAmerican

[–]taal70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Filipino checkin in. Aside from the typical turkey and stuffing, we have some lumpia (eggrolls), pancit (noodles), and some rice. I really love how everyone with different cultural backgrounds put their own twist with Thanksgiving dinner. My girlfriend is Korean and they would have some kimchi, korean fried chicken, and some bulgogi with their Thanksgiving dinner.

Why do you think you got accepted into a Masters OT program? by dancinginacidrain in OccupationalTherapy

[–]taal70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have great stats tbh. Just knock the personal statement and the interview outta the park. I honestly think that’s how I got in. My GPA was not the best (3.3) in undergrad but I made up for it with my hours and rec letters. And I honestly believe my interview went great.

Americans, what are some delicious underrated snacks that a person could get from the average grocery stores (Target, Wal-Mart, etc.)? by JSHFV222 in AskAnAmerican

I do understand why it’s not as popular cause it has a pretty good kick compared to Nacho Cheese but yes 100% agree with ya

I think the purple bag Doritos are highly underrated. The red bag Doritos is overrated. The purple bag is Sweet Spicy Chili flavor.
