    Balancing Part-Time Jobs in College

    February 15, 2018

    In this week’s installment of Ro&Co, Jessie shares her tips for balancing part-time jobs and a challenging academic curriculum. Since I’ve started college, 15 months ago, I’ve worked 7 different jobs, and averaged 20 hours a week. This doesn’t mean I take easy classes; it doesn’t mean I don’t party or hang out with friends; it doesn’t mean I don’t watch Netflix or do yoga; it just means I use my time efficiently. Balance I split my weekly activities into 3 different categories: Career, Academic, and Personal—and I make sure to make time for all 3. Here is my calendar: career is in blues, academic in greens, personal in pinks.…

    4 Steps to Actually Making it to the Gym in this Godforesaken Tundra | Ro&Co

    January 15, 2018

    In this week’s installment of Ro&Co, my friend Claire, ex-college athlete and pre-med student, shares her tips for keeping to a workout plan in the winter so you can keep to your New Year’s resolutions! Running during the Winter can be a massive hassle, especially in Chicago. It’s really cold outside and it gets dark before 5 pm so if you want to run, you’re going to end up on a treadmill more often than not. Because treadmill running can get pretty redundant, here are a few of my tips for sticking out the winter months without too much misery or too many skipped workouts. 1. Bring Workout Clothes to…

    7 Tips to Help You Find the Best Internship | Working Woman

    December 21, 2017

    It’s that time of year again!! With finals behind us and the next quarter incoming, winter break is the best opportunity you’ll have all year to get ahead on your internship applications. Here are my top seven tips to keep in mind while you’re looking for your summer internship! Work Backwards Before you start any internship search, you need a vague sense of what you want to do. Start by picking something you think you’d be happy doing after graduation (this doesn’t have to be definite), and then work backwards given how many summers you have left before graduation. If you’re in your second year, then think about the dream…

    The 15 Min Stanford Study Hack To Get You That A

    November 30, 2017

    Finals have returned and I can already sense the impending doom. This summer, I read about a study hack that in just 15 minutes could be the difference between a B+ and an A. So this finals season, I am putting it to the test, and hopefully so can you! Finals week is arguably the most stressful period of the quarter and lucky for us, we get three sets of them. With reading period starting and only so many days before the dreaded economics exam, I am always looking for ways to make the most out of the limited studying time. I came across this article about a study by…

The first step in crafting your #25thhourlifestyle is visualizing your future! Check out how @rosanarabines plans for the future on #xoromedia “I work for a platform that supports creators like the ones that have inspired me for the last decade and gives a voice to people just like me who are sharing their passions with the world. Even as an intern, I’m in a position where I can use my perspective as a creator to advocate for them.” • Xoro Media founder @rosanarabines shares her experience working for YouTube in the final post of #xorointernshipdiaries “I did not realize how competitive art-related internships at museums and galleries would be – I was up against graduate students and people with advanced degrees for many of the positions I applied for.” • Rafaela Brosnan shares her experience working for an architecture firm in Chicago on #xorointernshipdiaries “I am fortunate that I figured out during the winter of my sophomore year that my heart was not in finance and I preferred a field that implements more of what I was studying, behavioral economics. Match truly upholds their value of “do what you love” in allowing me to parlay the subjects I love to learn, like behavioral economics, into a profession.” • Katherine Clement shares how she followed her passion to work at Match Group on #xorointernshipdiaries “I know I want to continue studying different healthcare systems, health care policies, role of socioeconomic status and race of patients, availability of resources, access to translational science, etc. both in the US and abroad.” • Meredith Wells shares her experience doing a Portuguese medical interpreting training in Brazil on #xorointernshipdiaries “With the legal field, it sort of seems like you aren’t ‘allowed’ to take a job in any real firm until you’re in law school, because almost every application wants law students... but I ended up doing essentially the same exact job as them, and I feel really immersed and like I had an amazing experience before I even got to law school. Apply for that clerkship!” • Stephanie Dorris shares how she’s using her job as a Law Clerk to decide between becoming a lawyer or a professor on #xorointernshipdiaries “At the end of the day, everyone is trying to get one thing or another to work out , and it doesn’t really matter when you do it because every industry has its own timeline really, but also every job has its own timeline. Don’t sweat it; the stress is so not worth it.” • Samira Shabsogh shares how she broke down the boundaries of her major to find a job that better fit her interests on #xorointernshipdiaries
