A Month to Go

I feel like I have not blogged in forever! This is due to me being sick the past few weeks. I did not attend class on March 28, 2022, and class was canceled on April 4, 2022. I am glad that I am now feeling better. I am not sure what I had as every

What Now?

I loved Jessie’s presentation last week! I was very interested and cannot wait to purchase a book to read the entirety. I must state that when others were asking Jessie during her presentation if she was going to read the other chapters a part of me was saying “please don’t” on the inside. This is

I Feel Good

For once this academic year, I can state that I feel good! Although this past week was Spring Break, I worked my normal nine to five therefore I did not have much of a break. I could have taken the nights off and rested as we did not have any classes in session, but I

A Four-Day Week

I can say that the four-day week was very much needed! For the first time in months, I was able to genuinely rest and sleep in. I had the time to celebrate my mother’s wedding with my family and not focus on work for once. This does not come often and I believe my mind

Creating My Story

If there was such a thing, I would consider myself a perfectionist. My parents expected As and Bs from my sister and me during my childhood and nothing less. They are the type of parents that want the best for their children and are very understanding, but when it came to academics that was a

The Fun Stuff

From my one-on-one meeting with Dr. Zamora last week, I was able to gauge the direction I need to be headed in and narrow down the focus of my thesis. This week, I wanted to focus on the more enjoyable aspects of my paper. Dr. Zamora and I had discussed coming up with interview questions

Integration and Not Balance

As we begin the start of the Fall semester I thoroughly enjoyed last week’s class. I was able to get advice from my peers on how I should be managing my time with my thesis. It sounds ridiculous that my thesis is focusing on work/life balance but I cannot seem to manage my time. The

The Continuation

I could sit here and write my final blog post with a plethora of hopes, wishes, and dreams that I have over winter break regarding my thesis journey but I also want to be realistic. This semester was not my greatest academically and personally. I encountered mental health challenges more than I expected especially being

Not Enough Time

As Maura stated in her blog post, now that the end of the semester is here there’s so much to still do. I have two presentations next week one for this course and the second for The Language of Racial and Ethnic Identity. I am not too nervous about these presentations, yet, but following I

Viewing the Other Side

This week I continued to read articles while implementing a few videos. The one article that stood out to me was “Why We Need to Stop Talking About Work-Life Balance As a ‘Female’ Struggle.” I recently decided that I wanted to dive into work-life balance and gender equity how the two correlate, but this article
