Okay, I can't handle these prompts anymore hahaha! Tell me something exciting about your day! :)
heyyy double chat! well I have an internship interview tomorrow that I am syked about!
Hahaha! So funny :) Oh man, that's really exciting!! What's the internship for? Are you good at interviewing? Those are always such a struggle for me.
The internship is called Product Internship at Pluralsight. I feel like I had so many failed interviews that I am now used to them! hahaha
That's great you've had practice! I feel like it's such a fine balance and talking about yourself, and also not seeming too annoying and self-centered.
yes I had that problem too! I don't like to brag about myself but I learned to find balance between being confident about myself and making sure I am also bragging at the same time
That's sooo good you've mastered that. I also felt weird filling out college applications, "bragging" about my accomplishments so they see you as worthy to enter their school, and then filling out mission papers a few months later and having to be humble and stuff. It was just so interesting to have that juxtaposition of events.
you are going on a missssssion?
Oh, that was awhile ago hahaha :) I've been home for over 2 years now
oh hahahaha where didi you serve?
Cancun Mexico! :)
oh my CANCUN? what a dream
Hahahah I know I know what you're thinking I was more in the jungles of the Yucatan than anywhere nice haha. If you see, smell, or think about the ocean, you were too close and would get in major trouble. But it was AMAZING. Hot, but amazing. And the most amazing, loving people. I feel like I now am the daughter to like 70 different families now.
oh really!wow that is so coool!!1 I had the same ish rule in my mission. If we set foot on the beach it was going straight home
SAME HERE! Where'd you serve?
Oakland and San francisco
Oh, that sounds AWESOME! I've never been to those parts of Cali, but they sounds so so so cool. My dream is to go to San Fran. Was it really rainy? (literally know nothing about it)
San Fran was not rainy but it can get really foggy someties and it so cool when it does!!!! it is so diverse and there are so many good foods to eat over there and the diversity makes it so much more interesting
I bet it's a place that has such cool diversity. Coastal places tend to be that way :) Did you get to see the Golden Gate Bridge? Also, do you know why it's called "Golden" when it's red?
that I have no idea hahahahahaha probably its the golden state? I used to run to the golden gate bridge and back for my morning excercise every other day
That is SOOO COOLLLLL I'm so jealous. And you're probably totally right about it being the Golden State *face palm*
hahaha no worries.
Did I already ask what you were studying? (sorry, I have like 4 chats open. I need a social life, that's what I've learned today haha)
no worries I am studying Information Technology emphasis on User Experience design
Oh, that is so cool! I wish I had the brains to be able to do that, because that field has a lot of job security. How much do you have left?
yeah it does. I probably will be making about 70k when I graduate. I have 1 year left
That's insane. I have a friend getting his masters in IT/IS/Computer Science (I can't remember which) and he said he'll be making 90-110.000k when he's done. I can't even comprehend. You could buy a lot of tickets back to San Fran with that money haha
yeppppppppp what are you interested in again?
So I'm a Human Development major, I'm interested in getting my husband into Med school, and I love hedgehogs, Mexico, food (obviously) and learning :)
What does HD consist of? hahaha I love that you said that you are interested in getting your husband into medschool that is awesome hahaha so how do you support your husband so he can make Med school?
HD is the in the School of Family Life, otherwise known as the Mom major *eye roll* We talk about the development of a human from womb to tomb Cognitively, behaviorally, physically, etc.
oooh that is actually interesting stuff
It's been super interesting.
I love learning about humans
And I help my hubby by giving him space, honestly. I feel like I can be a pretty clingy wife (I'm working on that) but I've found that if I just give him his space for 7 hours on Saturdays so he can take a practice MCAT, he does really well And I just have to be his optimistic but realistic support system.
wow that is hard to do and Im sure your husband apreciate it because my girlfriend loves my attention but I get stressed when I have stuff to do and she needs/wants my attenti attention
Yeah....it's so hard to find a balance.
hey but you know its for the best and for the better future!
For sure. Like, our anniversary was last week and he took a practice MCAT that day, but I wasn't even upset because it's OUR future. What better to celebrate our marriage than to keep supporting our family goals?
yes yes yes you are going to be an awesome wife and hey that Doctor salary is nice right?
Aww, thanks :) Yeah, the salary for sure sounds amazing, but it's many years away, and mountains of debt away... But it'll come haha :) What long-term goals do you have?
hahaha debt is the worst.
For sure. And I think what's so scary is it's just a number on your bank account screen, but it's super real and ties you down.
my only true long term goal is to have financial stability for my family so that my children and wife will have the opportunity to excel and explore themselves!
I think that is worthy of applause. and a wife hahaha
hahaha
That's so admirable! I mean, obviously, you'll want to excel in your own career and such, but in a world so focused on personal success, that was refreshing to hear
you know what! I don't care what i do for work as long as my family can enjoy their life and not have financial stress. I grew up in that problem and it was not fun but it was good for us too because it helped us be stronger and grow closer together
I can imagine it makes every other aspect of life stressful. But I can also see how it would help family cohesion (we learn about that in our major ;))
sometimes I wished that I had time to learn the things I want not what the world wants me to learn
Well said.
like your major. I would love to learn about that stuff
Luckily we have all eternity to learn? Sometimes it's overwhelming to think that college is so short. I have so many classes I want to take.
oh thats true... well said
I am loving these deep conversations with people I've never met.
its easier behind the screen to be honest
It's true. But I like that it's positive things. Often we hear about "behind the screen" moments where it's cyberbullying, and here we are edifying one another.
yes. there is always a bright side to everything
