I didn’t even know I’d reached a milestone until this arrived today! Whoohoo, only 80 more days of school.
I haven’t really talked about my job much because, well, we know I don’t love it:) But really, it’s going well. There are still plenty of days that I feel ehh about the whole school psychology thing. I’m just much more interested in mental health than special education. But most of the time I feel neutral about it. I do really enjoy the people I work with. And I like having responsibility and independence. Most of all, I like being in the school environment. I’m still craving more of something, but the problem is (and always has been) that I’m not sure what the next step might be in order to turn the corner in my career path.
Moving on…
Matt made dinner! In the crockpot that is. He assesmbed Kath’s pineapple chicken this morning and it turned out beautifully. I sure do love chunks of pineapple and the combination of sweet + sour.
Not having to cook dinner will never get old.
Happy 100 days of school friends!

Welcome to TBT!
I've created this blog because I'm in a bit of a quarter life crisis. Since graduating from college in 2008 and earning an advanced degree in school psychology in May, I still don't know what career path to follow. All I know is that time is moving way too fast and I find myself living only for the weekends. Bear with me as I attempt to reclaim my twenties by finding pleasure and balance in the work week and incorporating my passions of food, fashion, fitness, and fun into everyday life. 
i really really really enjoy posts about your career/struggles/what you’re thinking about doing next
When I was in grade school, we had a special 100s day which always included games, gifts to classmates (i.e. bring in 100 pennies, 100 M&Ms, etc. to share), crafts, and a special “treasure hunt” in the grassy field by the playground for candy and trinkets (not sure what the significance to 100 that was…maybe counting how many little things we found? haha). It was SO special and fun. Happy 100s day to you!
Hi. New commenter here. The tag on the cookie makes me wonder. Are you not allowed to wear jeans to work?
Only on Fridays! Sometimes I wear nice trouser jeans or black jeans, but I wouldn’t wear a regular old pair of blue jeans to work, especially since I meet with parents all the time…
Hi Laura,
), and enjoy it very much. I just am wondering if you’ve ever considered the field of clinical social work? You can work in schools, but it also gives you a wide array of job opportunities in the mental health field. I have my masters in social work and love it. Just a thought; you can feel free to reach out via email if you have any questions!
Have read your blog since its inception (I also am in my twenties
Thank you!
Looking back, social work would have been the perfect degree! I’m actually quite frustrated that I didn’t take that route. That being said, I’m not even two years out of my program, and after the cost and work of three years of graduate school, I just don’t think I can go back at this point. I would think about doing a part-time or online program, but it still feels a little soon…arg:)
