You’re used to fielding questions like: “So, you help people find jobs?”
Or “Oh, you mean like physical therapy?”
Getting used to calling professors by their first names was weird at first…
…But now its like:
You mastered Mastering A&P with Dr. Lockwood freshman year, even though you might’ve slept through a few of those 8am classes…
You can define ADLs and IADLs in your sleep.
You know more about childhood development than your parents do (kidding mommy)…
And you can explain your parents’ feelings and attitudes on life thanks to OT501.
You diagnosed yourself with every psychosocial disorder covered in OT685 (and then diagnosed yourself as a hypochondriac).
You worship the ground Dr. Croce Walks on (#NeuroGod)…
You get excited when there is more than one male student in your class
Handling fieldwork registration, homework, readings, meetings, sleep, and a social life can be quite hectic…
But you know how to reach an occupational balance.
And finally, you feel so lucky to know that your future profession will make a real difference in the life of others.
