I knew school was primarily going to be paid for using loans or any financial aid I might be provided. There was only one school remotely near my hometown that I would go to if I was accepted, otherwise I wanted to go somewhere in the country that would push me outside my comfort zone. I wanted a larger school than my undergraduate institution that still had a relatively small cohort size. In addition, I was seeking a program with enough clinical and practical experience opportunities that would prepare me to enter the field. I was interested in research, however it was not a make or break for me if the school had adequate clinical/observation experiences.

I’m sure there’s so much more I could dive into here but I want to keep this to a minimum

Keywords: Lifestyle , Diné Woman , indigenous , photographer

I am a Diné woman in her early thirties, I have two daughters, I cherish my family time, and am currently enrolled at Diné College. I enjoy making videos, photography, doing blogs, drawing, and sometimes painting. I really enjoy Native American creation stories, books, and art. I enjoy sharing experiences, laughing together, and learning about the similarities I share with other five fingered beings.

I want to go out knowing I couldn’t have done any more

Keywords: Life in general , Adulting , Life

In the early years of my 20s, I started to learn that money doesn’t necessarily make us happy. I know, I know there’s a lot of talk about this. I mean, at the end of the day, we all need money to do our thing, right? But, what I’m trying to say here is that, I’ve realized that during the hours I’ve spent stressing about how I’m not achieving those life goals that society tells us we should’ve reached by now, I’ve missed out on living. I could’ve made so many more memories and probably been a lot happier if I chased joy instead, if I choose my version of success to be how many times I’ve laughed this week, if I counted experience in the same way I do money, or if I climbed a mountain with the same eagerness as the career ladder. There’s a whole world to discover outside of those boundaries we’ve set for ourselves!

The biggest gain through all these losses is arriving at what I really want

Keywords: {0}

By the time you reach my age, you realise, all those blessed souls who crossed your path, were intimate at some point, you actually perhaps never saw them for who they really were. You only measured them against your ideals and decided if they matched or didn’t. The instances of mismatches thereon only increase incrementally. Meanwhile, you wade through experiences, dreaming, hoping, hurting, healing. They alter you in more ways than you realise or dare to. So far so good. If I have reached a point in my life to spread the pearls of my wisdom you would think I would have made something out for myself at the least. I am afraid the answer still remains a disappointing no. Once you arrive at knowing what you want, it is hard to hold on to your patience. It feels similar to running the last lap of an ardous marathon close to the finish line. It is hard to carry on. You want to give up, You are worn. You want to throw in the towel. You are exhausted. And voila comes some rare insight. You are not done yet.

I know what I want for myself in the future

The greatest thing about my study abroad experience was the freedom and independence that I had. Although it meant doing the groceries and cleaning the apartment myself, I loved being able to make decisions for myself. I had never felt so free and happy.

Now that you have created all these happy memories, how can you remember them?

Keywords: Personal Life

When I saw the book The Art of Making Memories in Copenhagen’s airport, at the end of my trip to Iceland, I instantly knew that I wanted to buy and read it. Written by Meik Wiking, the author of The Little book of Hygge, the book presents some findings by the Happiness Research Institute, insights on how to make memories, and the general science behind how and why we remember some specific things and moments.

Spontaneity is not something I’ve always been good at

Keywords: Bridge year , Gap year , Puerto Rico , Puerto Rico travel , Vieques

Every time I go to a new place in Puerto Rico, I fall a little bit more in love. This tiny island has it all – a lush rainforest, the most beautiful beaches, unique wildlife, vibrant cities. There’s still so much I want to see before I leave. I’m slowly learning to take life day by day – I’m on island time now, where everything is mañana, as I’ve heard a lot since I’ve been here. So I’m hoping the next trip I take is just as spontaneous and wonderful as this one was. And even when I leave Puerto Rico, I think I’ll be spending less time planning and more time living.
