    What’s in My School Bag

    October 8, 2018

    With the beginning of school comes the school commute! After three years of being in the same apartment (pretty far from campus), I have finally perfected my school bag. Often my schedule requires me to be on campus from morning until late at night, which means everything I need has to come with me. I’ve been using this reversible Street Level tote I got from Nordstrom on and off for the last two years and it has held up really well! I added a Madewell sash to the strap to give it a refresh for the new school year. The bag is exactly the right size for my laptop, which then…

    October 1, 2018

    There’s nothing like the first day of school to make you feel like your life is a mess! If orientation didn’t quite orient you or you’re preparing to show up to every section of art you possibly can because you need it to graduate, the hot mess of first week comes for us all. There’s so much you can’t control about school starting, but this weekend I have faith you can control your closet. Be Marie Kondo The first step is to launch a Marie Kondo-sized attack on your closet. Warn your roommates and your loved ones: things are going to get worse before they get better.

    How Defining Ideal You Can Make Her a Reality

    September 20, 2018

    Happy almost fall my quarter system sunshines! With only a few days before school starts, it’s time to get those brand spanking new planners out and think about what you want to accomplish in the coming year! We’ve spoken a lot about how to set goals, but today I want to share a little more about that first step of the process: visualizing your future! This summer, I started a meditation practice and often the guided meditations I listen to talk about manifesting your destiny. I’m not sold on the idea of manifestation, but I do believe in the importance of clarifying your long-term goals and finding ways to keep…

In this week’s installment of Ro&Co, Arushi is back, and sharing her tips for handling a long-distance relationship. Hi! I’m so happy to write for Rosana’s blog again. Dating in college is a popular topic of discussion. Should you break up with your high school partner? Should you jump into a long-term relationship one week into college, or ~discover yourself~ and keep things casual? I can’t answer those questions for you, but if at any point in your college life, you have…

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
