Hi, there! I’ve missed you! The past six weeks have been utter madness, but in the best way possible. I got my first adult apartment and I changed jobs. Because when I make life changes, I like to do them all at once…
Back to the Beginning
Tomorrow, I’m heading back to the beginning. Tomorrow, my sister and I are heading back to Italy for a week vacation – her first trip and my second. To say that I am emotional is a complete understatement. My four-month study abroad was everything. It was the first time I lived by myself. It was…
What I Learned After Taking A Break From Blogging
Hi, I’m back! I missed you! For the past month, I took a step back from blogging (and a half step back from social media…). And it was probably the hardest/best thing I have ever done. Taking a 31-day break from the blog was super hard because I have been blogging weekly since graduate school……
Two.
Two years. 24 months. 730 days. Today marks my second anniversary of being a dietitian. I can’t believe it has been two years since passing one of the biggest exams of my life. And this year has been the one of the most change since becoming a dietitian. New job. New responsibilities. Newer credentials. Last…
(Simply) Looking Forward
Happy New Year, everyone! Wishing you and your loved ones a healthy and happy year! January 1st is slightly overwhelming – I feel like I need to make all these goals on how to live my life going forward. 2016 was a big year. I took the leap and switched jobs, taking on a more…
Simply Real Life: Change
This is a picture of my go-to brownies… What do brownies have to do with change, you may ask? It all started back when I was an intern. (story time!) At the end of each internship rotation, I brought a tray of brownies to the hospital to thank the RDs for working with me. It…
Nine Tips For Surviving FNCE
This past weekend, I had the opportunity to attend the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics’ Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo… also known as FNCE! It was four days full of education sessions, expo exhibits, networking events, and reunions. Basically, it is a non-stop learning party!! While FNCE is an amazing opportunity to hear new…
Weekend Recap
Graduate school is tough. Like sleepless nights, stressed beyond belief, sometimesno time to eat tough. While it was probably the two hardest years of my life, I completely and utterly lucked out because I went through my two years of graduate school surrounded by amazing (and brilliant) women who understood the grad school grind. Together…
One
One year. 12 months. 52 weeks. 365 days. That is how long I have been a registered dietitian. This has been the most eye-opening, awe-inspiring, frustrating, wonderful, stressful, glorious year ever. Who knew a year could have flown by so fast? As I think back, I can remember (to the tiniest detail) everything that happened…
Reality Check
It’s official. These past two weeks have been the hardest two weeks of my life as a registered dietitian. Two back-to-back six-day work weeks (with this past weekend’s work adventure including me, a full hospital, and a now finished bag of Christmas Hershey kisses), an upcoming 6-month work-a-versary, getting some work done on the bedroom…
