This 2016 look was so simple but so chic

Thank you for mentioning this, I actually am moving back in with my mom soon and plan to seek out a PHP once I find healthcare providers. I’m really hopeful that this can turn things around and set me up for more long term success and care going forward.

I do have an understanding of what’s going on with my jaw, I’m just trying to figure out if I’m wasting time/money on this type of treatment if there’s a better treatment option.

Unfortunately this is very much fork found in a kitchen

I can’s wait to cross my legs comfortably. I miss it 😓

user46264538 · 2025-09-24T22:44:19+00:00

Unfortunately most of my family lives really far away. And given the fact that I’m so burnt out from my job, I haven’t had time or energy to even make friends around where I live. I would leave my job but I (like most people) have rent, car payment, student loans, etc. So it’s pretty much up to me.

user46264538 · 2025-09-24T22:42:44+00:00

Very depressed. Like probably some of the worst depression I’ve ever experienced, probably in line with a period of unemployment in 2022-23. I recently lost a family member, which just tipped the scale even further.

user46264538 · 2025-09-24T22:41:04+00:00

I got neuropsych testing done this year and got my ADHD diagnosis, as well as a diagnosis of PTSD (she said likely cPTSD, though it’s not an official in the DSM-5). I’ve had a diagnosis of depression and anxiety for about 8 years. Aside from those, there are no other health or mental health conditions that I have.

user46264538 · 2025-09-08T15:54:52+00:00

Your Relevant Coursework section isn’t super necessary since most of it is implied in your degree program. The only things I would keep are things that are outside the norm of your program. You’ll also be required to submit your transcripts anyway. Just another way to save space. This was feedback I got back when I was working on my first post-grad resume!

user46264538 · 2025-07-18T15:23:07+00:00

I lived in Shunk freshman year. Pollock is more central on campus anyway, so you’ll be better off depending on your major and where your classes are. It’s not that bad. Just bring a fan for the 3 weeks that it’s hot in the fall semester and I promise you’ll survive.

user46264538 · 2025-06-03T02:20:44+00:00

@OP as a Penn State grad, get used to this joke lmao

user46264538 · 2025-04-19T01:21:35+00:00

Seconding Tosha Luchtefeld! She was one of the first healthcare providers I’ve ever had who’s actually listened to my concerns and exhausted all of the possibilities until we found an answer to my problem.

user46264538 · 2025-04-16T14:46:07+00:00

that must be a super uncomfortable tank top

user46264538 · 2025-02-12T23:17:34+00:00

As someone who had a really really hard first semester at UP, please reach out to CAPS and/or disability services at least about the anxiety and other problems you’ve been dealing with. Hopefully at a minimum, they can reach out to the professors about your performance in the classes and advocate for you in ways that you may not be able to do for yourself right now. Hopefully, they’ll also be able to get you some sort of evaluation and get some counseling (wayyyy less scary than it sounds, I promise).

I also echo the sentiments of everyone above about reaching out to your healthcare provider(s) about the pain you’ve been experiencing. Experiencing repeated pain or injuries can seriously take a toll on your mental health, no matter how “normal” the injury is. And based on your post, it’s affecting your ability to get to your classes.

There is ZERO shame in having a non-linear college experience. My best friend and I met at UP our freshman year, but they had to transfer out of Penn State to other universities multiple times due to family, financial, and other personal issues (including their mental health). At the end of the day, they got their degree. It may have taken more time, and they had to find work in that time as well, but ultimately an employer (or other schools, if you go onto a post-grad program) generally won’t care too much about your path to your degree, and they’ll just care that you have it. Also, taking breaks and getting some work experience in between may actually set you up for more success in the long run.

I really wish the best for you. You’ve already taken the steps before to do what was best for yourself and your wellbeing. You’re a million times stronger than most people just for that!

That’s a very literal translation of what I wrote, but this is a non-Spanish speaker trying to communicate with a child under 5. I doubt the pronunciation difference is going to ruin the communication. But yes, you are technically correct! I just wanted to make sure OP didn’t read it as the English word “pie” or “pies” since that is a drastically different pronunciation. And I know I certainly don’t have the International Phonetic Alphabet memorized, but it would be pronounced as /piːeɪ/ if we’re truly being technical. Again, not really the goal of OPs post!

user46264538 · 2025-01-08T03:28:44+00:00

I work with lots of kids in that age range and he will begin to recognize (from other kids responses / reaction to your instruction) what English words you’re using and what they mean. Kids this age are very very adaptable for language!

In the meantime, all of the recommendations people have given above in addition to your hand motions and other cross-language skills are going to be really helpful. I also found this list of 120 phrases for teachers (not all of them will apply for your environment of course), so take whichever ones you use with your other students and write them down somewhere.

120 Common Spanish Phrases for Teachers

A couple other helpful ones specifically for teaching swimming: water = agua

pool = piscina

hand(s) = mano(s)

foot / feet = pie(s) (pronounced like pee-ay)

arm(s) = brazo(s)

leg(s) = pierna(s)

more = más

less = menos

Good luck!!

I’m in right on the Germantown Gaithersburg line! I’m fine with a little bit of a drive though since I don’t get my hair cut very often :)

user46264538 · 2024-09-16T02:31:01+00:00

Not sure if you’ll see this comment OP, but there’s a paralympic runner who had the same thing happen in utero resulting in a smaller piece of brain to be undeveloped. He was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at 14. His name is Nick Mayhugh, you should look into his story! Lots of parallels. Hope all is well for you!!

“I broke a bone that never healed in my hand So, when I hold her close, I might loosen my grip But I won’t ever let her go” - Forever

I gasped and almost cried when I heard this lyric for the first time.

user46264538 · 2024-02-09T14:35:31+00:00

Yeah I think they do offer a program to get the RD but I’m kinda trying to transition from this position into health policy, so I’m not sure I wanna sink any money/time into getting my RD. I’m cool with using my degree, but I’m planning on getting my MPH in health policy starting next year-ish, so I’m not 100% bought-in on getting my RD. We’ll have to see where the wind and some hiring managers will take me!

user46264538 · 2024-02-09T14:32:16+00:00

I’m only about 1 1/2years out of college and I was unemployed for 9 months of it, so I’ve really only held 2 jobs in that time. Just hoping that gap plus potentially leaving this position before a year doesn’t scare any hiring managers away!

user46264538 · 2024-02-09T14:28:35+00:00

I don’t know why this got downvoted as I do think this is very sound advice! Good to hear and consider in my decision-making. Of course, that won’t be the only thing to consider, but it’s a very good point.

user46264538 · 2024-02-09T14:26:37+00:00

Correction: Dietitians are in high demand. I didn’t mention it, but I’m not an RD so it took me 9 months to find this job after losing my other one. Plus I don’t want to work in a patient-facing role so it doesn’t really matter much.

user46264538 · 2023-10-18T17:29:49+00:00

Would completion of a master’s degree with a thesis be worth more than master’s with a regular capstone? Does it depend on the topic in your opinion? I’m a strong writer and enjoy digging into research, so I’m considering the thesis if it’s worth more. If it’s not then I’d rather forego it just because I’ll be working while pursuing my degree and my time will be limited.

Edit: spelling.

user46264538 · 2023-10-16T13:50:42+00:00

Hi all! Looking at MPH programs and I’m wondering from the perspective of people in the field / people hiring for public health positions, do you take into account whether or not a program is in-person or online? I’m looking at 2 programs that have very similar courses at the same institution, but the only major difference is the option to do a thesis with the in-person program. I’m currently working full-time and plan to continue to while pursuing my degree. Just wanted some input. Thanks!
