When every job in your chosen field requires grad school, how do you find a summer internship? Sarah McDonnell knew she wanted to use her Psychology degree, but hands-on clinical work without an advanced degree is really difficult to find. After applying to jobs in other fields that could tangentially apply her degree, she restructured her job search, figured out what she was (and wasn’t!) willing to compromise on, and eventually found herself a summer internship, near home, working with patients.

Now at the end of my third year of college, I…

In addition to chronicling my own experimentations in adulthood, over the last 6 months, the amazing women in my life have stepped up to share their own experiences. The first season of our podcast, Get…

The one thing where you just HAVE to go with friends and catch up on all the wild (or tame) things you’ve done over the weekend, the one meal it’s actually socially acceptable to be incredibly loud and obnoxious. Switch gears for a second, though. Remember, this is something you decided to do alone this time. You made a reservation on OpenTable, and booked a table for one.
