Apparently it's already the middle of the semester (i.e. midterms), February is basically over, Spring is coming...slowly, but I'm really ready for summer. The burnout is SO real and I feel like I'm just moving through the weeks on autopilot. Thinking too far in advance of the big projects and papers I'll be getting assigned soon...scary thoughts! I had a "mock" interview in one of my classes last week...that was the worst! Apparently I had a great elevator pitch (which I assume is because of this here brand, Strength and Sunshine, haha!) Right now I'm looking hard for internship prospects, I have some ideas, but nothing solid yet...I'll keep you updated!
Not as many links this week, but still some good ones to check out! Happy Friday/weekend!

Making friends as an adult is hard. The friends I've made here outside of residency are actually mostly through the clubs I've joined at Rutgers, haha. 😛
