    A Beginner’s Guide to Calling Your Representatives

    November 9, 2017

    It has been a year since Hillary lost the election, and those last twelve months have been eye opening to say the least. It was the first election I had a chance to vote in, and I got really excited about the race up and down the ballot. So when the election ended, I was looking to find a way to stay engaged. That’s when I learned to call my representatives. I’m registered to vote in Massachusetts, but since I live in Chicago for most of the year, it can be hard to keep up with local politics. In the run up to the election last year, I learned about…

    As you know, I have been attempting to meal plan! I’ve been struggling with it, so this week, I asked my friend Katie to share her experience with meal prep. Working in Washington, DC for her spring semester, she’s had to learn how to live on her own and tackle everything from commuting to work to living without a dining hall (and she even found time to train for a marathon with me!). Hi everyone, I’m Katie, and I am super excited and honored to be doing a guest post for Rosana’s blog this week! I am in the middle of my sophomore year as a physics major when I decided…

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
