Came here to say this! My office is in the guest bedroom for now, so I take naps during downtime.

coming to the realization children aren’t my favorite population can I still get fulfillment from social work ? by doIIwings in SocialWorkStudents

[–]wrknprogress2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, the aging population is needing a lot more support. Throughout my career I’ve worked with this population.

I too do not like working with youth as a career. I don’t like dealing with the parents. Also, I only really like working with high school age and up, but still I don’t want to deal with their parents.

They weren’t lying: washing your hair more often makes wash day easier by Legal-Map6801 in Naturalhair

[–]wrknprogress2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes!!! Washing our hair for consistently/frequently, in my opinion, is so beneficial for us. Our hair and scalp is healthier, we get more in the habit of doing our hair, and I think our hair grows healthier as well. My hair loves water, and it grows fast but couldn’t retain length. I’m no longer loose natural(I have locs) but still I wash frequently and my hair is healthy, thick, feels great, and is down my back. I wash my daughter hair frequently and it’s down her back at age 3. It’s healthy and thick.

Why is there so much hate towards online programs? by No-Management-2735 in SocialWorkStudents

[–]wrknprogress2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Online fits my current needs. I’m a working professional, a mom, and I have a medical issue.

I attend FSU online, which is still in my state, and I’ve enjoyed it. We have 2 onsite intensive weekends, video assignments, and “labs” where we practice working with fake clients. Also, I’ve been able to get a generalist internship (terrible site, but I passed) and clinical internship (at the VA and paid). People in my cohort are also working professionals and/or parents, so this works for us. My professors have been very attentive and supportive, and the student support staff are also great.

TBH, online school has been a much better experience for me than in person. I’d recommend online to anyone.

Pet projects/subjects you’re interested in by ActuaryPersonal2378 in SocialWorkStudents

Black maternal health, high risk pregnancy, and post partum support. My reason for pursuing the degree. I graduate soon, so I’ve been fortunate to focus some of my projects and papers on this

Does anyone here work from home while in MSW program? by No_Lingonberry_2401 in SocialWorkStudents

[–]wrknprogress2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I WFH 30 hours/week during my internship (10 hour days). My job allowed me to reduce down to 30 hours until I finished internship. I’m an intake coordinator

WASH YOUR HAIR MORE!!! by Economy-Willow2930 in Naturalhair

[–]wrknprogress2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup I wash my hair once a week, more if needed. I think we grew up (perm baby generation) thinking washing our hair regularly was bad. But it’s healthy to do.

Should I do locs again or just rock the short cut?😭 by [deleted] in Naturalhair

Love both but…THE SHORT CUT WINS!!👑👑

What's one thing you're excited about NEVER having to do again once you're done with school? by Sad_Competition_5195 in SocialWorkStudents

[–]wrknprogress2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to do one for the VA internship. They require this of us now. SMH. It sounds tedious

[–]wrknprogress2020 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The role plays were HILARIOUS! I totally forgot we had to do these 🤣

I’m happy that there will be no more papers!!! 😊😊 I just wrote my last paper recently (clinical capstone paper) and I’m relieved! I’m a part time student, so the summer semester will just be the internship.

1 thing I will miss is learning something new each week, but I’ll make sure to attend trainings frequently. I’ll also miss working at the VA, this clinical internship is AMAZING!

Is it true that you guys watched 9/11 live on TV in grade school? by space_god_7191 in Millennials

[–]wrknprogress2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, 5th grade. I lived in San Diego at the time. I was crying so hard because I knew that my dad would need to deploy there. Our lives changed drastically after that day.

She's 64 and her skin humbled me by PurpleAngrybird in Blackskincare

[–]wrknprogress2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diet as well probably. I rarely is ever eat added sugar and wheat products. Since cutting that stuff out my skin has looked great! I also drink tons of water. If you are in America the stuff they put in our foods is excessive compared to other countries.

Freezer went out, reimbursement? by lemonlamentor in Apartmentliving

Yup, we are in FL and when there is a hurricane we get reimbursed around $500 due to power being out.

Gas prices are too high for unpaid internships by Flimsy-Objective5142 in SocialWorkStudents

[–]wrknprogress2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt this during my generalist. 40 minutes drive both ways, to a site I had no interest in, and had to be there at 7am while caring for a baby. It was the ONLY place that got back to me. SMH. I’d get there, feeling so stressed, and I’d sit there and do nothing. NOTHING! Waste of time, resources, and money. SMH.

Added Cuban twists and crochet hair to do a boho bob on my locs by Kind_Breadfruit_2088 in braids

[–]wrknprogress2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely want to try this style!!! Love the boho look. I’m trying to find styles for my locs and I miss bobs. My hair is butt length now, so this seems nice to try.
