Being a Student and Acknowledging Mental Health

Wow everyone!

It’s the middle of the semester now and I have to say, I didn’t feel it coming because honestly, I have no traditionally structured classes.

Last week’s post was dedicated to Banned Books Week but this one I’d like to dedicate to something else that was celebrated last week which is Mental Illness Awareness Week (as opposed to Mental Health Awareness Month which is in May). It’s also ADHD Awareness month which has been celebrated since 2004.

It’s believed that around 42% of people born between 1990 and 2010 have been diagnosed with some type of mental health condition, the top 3 being Anxiety, Depression, and ADHD in that order. And oftentimes mental health issues start to present themselves around our late teens and early 20s are and intensify if the signs were already there.

So, as students, we tend to juggle so much, and we usually attend college at a time when we are just starting to discover ourselves independent from the systems that shaped our perspectives growing up while potentially facing unanticipated mental health challenges.

I have personally struggled with consistency in mental health care, mainly due to financial inaccessibility but also because of a lack of self-awareness and inaccurate self-reporting which led to poor self-advocacy.

Last week, after several interviews and testing sessions with a neuropsychiatric team, I received perhaps the most comprehensive overview of my mental health that I have ever gotten. My results both disproved some previous diagnoses that I’d been skeptical about and also brought up conditions I hadn’t considered until then.

See, not all my results were about mental health concerns. Part of the testing was screening for neurological and developmental disorders which if left undiagnosed and unacknowledged/untreated can lead to more complications with existing mental illnesses.

So, for the sake of transparency, I’d like to share my diagnosis because I have always believed that dialogue is a powerful tool for processing and coping as well as fighting stigmas and stereotypes.

Originally, I sought testing for ADHD which I’d been previously diagnosed with but because of my inconsistency, I missed when they changed the standard for treatment. Now, to be treated for ADHD with stimulant therapy, at least in Florida that I know of, you must have an official diagnosis from a neuropsychiatrist. The testing for this was actually kind of fun and I thought I “passed” a lot of the tests. I in fact scored in the lowest percentiles for a lot of the tests, pointing to a clear diagnosis of ADHD.

Other diagnoses that came up that did not surprise me were generalized and social anxiety, unspecified depression, and CPTSD.

The most surprising and perhaps reality altering diagnosis was that they found evidence of being on the autism spectrum. Autism is not considered a mental illness - rather a neurological or developmental disorder as mentioned before - but like I said, if left unacknowledged, can cause depression and anxiety but can also lead to misdiagnoses.

For example, part of this was undiagnosing (not a word but I will be using it) bipolar depression and chronic depression. This holistic testing process revealed that my patterns of behavior and mental state do not indicate sustained episodes of depression stemming on their own or extreme highs for periods of time with impulsive actions and patterns of thinking.

This testing was very important for me because I never felt like my mental health teams were tackling the right issues and I knew part of it was my fault for how I self-reported during times of little self-awareness. Now I can look forward to finding a therapist who can help me develop awareness and coping skills that align with my combination of mental health and neurological conditions!

Unfortunately, access to this type of diagnostic testing is difficult to access especially as an adult because a lot of the testing centers, at least in my local area, are geared towards children and minors. Therapy and counseling can also be expensive and uninsured. This leads to many who struggle through undiagnosed or misdiagnosed and mistreated symptoms alone and unable to access the help they need.

That is why so many organizations have worked to label certain days, weeks, or months out of the year to simply raise awareness of others’ experiences. Awareness is the first step to taking action.

Do Internships Really Matter For Career Development?

Classroom learning is very different from on-ground learning. Mugging up the theories is not enough, you need to have practical experience too. The best way to gain these practical experiences is through internships. An internship is a professional short-term work experience offered by an organization or employer to potential employees. These individuals are known as interns. In most cases, interns are students looking for practical exposure to professional life. Internships play a huge role in determining how one’s career choice will play out in real life. An internship program helps in developing useful skills like good communication, problem-solving, teamwork, and more. The world of internships may seem overwhelming in the beginning. Always remember, the expert was once a beginner. Stay true to who you are, keep an open mind and always be willing to learn new things. Read our blog to know why internships matter

very interesting to me that the big three of the current hero gen in mha - shouto, midoriya and bakugo - are often portrayed as also being the closest in a lot of fics bc it's like. you've got shouto's two best friends as a boy with a volatile personality fuelled by his blind ambition and desperation to be the best, and a boy whose quirk destroys his body. like if you combined two of shouto's best friends you'd get touya but we're just not supposed to redeem him. okay

#OKAY. WHAT THE FUCK EVER #'hella stop trying to rationalise writing decisions that clearly have no respect or sympathy for the character' LOOK AT MY WHITEBOARD #anyway i have my own beef with how midoriya was handled i truly think he should've been expelled or smthn #bc how do you watch a child break every bone in his body and get magically healed just to do it all again the next day #and go 'yeah this is sustainable and in fact we should encourage this! go heroics!'#aizawa i love you but come the fuck on. mr 'i expelled my entire class last year' and we find out he actually #relocated them to better suited courses. where is my support student midoriya au #i DO however like the hc that endeavour at least partially took midoriya on for his internship bc of his similarity to touya #and bakugo for that matter. like truly i cannot stress enough how much bakugo's attitude is similar to touya's #and i think endeavour would recognise that just as he recognised the drawbacks of midoriya's quirk #hmmm. fucked little show. i need professional help #mha #touya todoroki #shouto todoroki

5th week of my summer internship.

I don’t feel that much overwhelmed yet. But the idea of the only one week of rest before the start of the last year of Uni makes me kinda stressed out in advance

The Final Count Down

Sunday 11/26/2023

Technically I’m supposed to be on vacation until tomorrow, but I have some time on my hands and thoughts on my mind.

This is the last day of classes and I’m working on some final assignments: The last touches on a research paper for the capstone course for my Interdisciplinary Studies major, a PowerPoint for the Hands-on History Internship Showcase on Friday, and a reflection on my service-learning hours with the LGBTQ History Museum of Central Florida – again, for capstone.

All I can think about is graduation! I’m so close, I can feel the end nearing!

My nerves are finally dissolving, leaving me with anxious anticipation, and a bit of “senioritis” as I chug through these final tasks.

Once the semester ends, this internship will fulfill the last course credits that I need – pending the History Department’s substitution – to complete my history minor.

Even though UCF has an Interdisciplinary Studies Master’s Program, I’m looking forward to turning in my application for the Public History Master’s Program by the priority deadline (January 15th). I aim to start my degree in the Fall of 2024 and, after learning about another student’s experience from Rollins’ Archival staff, I plan to take one seminar course at a time.

The only exception would be if I’m accepted into the Summer Research Program at UCF, allowing me to earn 6 credits the summer before.

This plan to take things slow is to hopefully avoid burnout and allow me to work with plenty of thought, care, and attention to my master’s degree. I’d also like to have time and energy to dedicate to internships and other forms of hands-on learning experiences like volunteering – maybe even a job that provides opportunities to expand skills that are relevant to public history professions.

Thursday 11/30/2023

Tomorrow is presentation day and I’m first up on the schedule (thank goodness! I’ll get to just sit and listen to everyone else’s experiences for the rest of the time!)

I’m literally functioning on meeting and due dates:

Tomorrow is the Hands-On History Showcase.

Sunday, all of my Capstone Assignments are due.

The following Friday, my final is due.

Then the Friday after that is graduation.

After that, I have about a month until the priority deadline for applications for the Public History Master’s Program at UCF.

That’s as far out as I can think right now.

I’m full of excitement and anxiety, but I’m also hopeful and optimistic!

Most of all, I am grateful, and I plan to spend some time throughout the following weeks communicating that to the mentors who positively impacted my undergraduate journey – pretty much all of them. (I was wondering if I was going to get sentimental leading up to graduation and, finally, here I am typing through calm tears as I reminisce on how lucky I am to have so many wonderful people to reach out to with gratitude.)

I’m glad this is how I chose to spend my final semester. Earlier this year, I was thrown off my path and I was heartbroken trying to piece together a new plan that accommodated my limited capacities as a student living with disabilities.

Now, two weeks from graduation, I stand firmer and more confident in my plans, goals, and desires.

Thank you to the wonderful faculty, staff, and peers who taught me so much along the way! Without their support, I would not have accomplished all that I have throughout my undergraduate career.

See you next Fall as a master’s student! (fingers-crossed)

Friday 12/01/2023

The showcase just ended and that just about wraps up the semester for me!

Everyone else had some incredibly enriching experiences and it was cool to see someone else who participated in the HerStory: Women in History Internship at the Orange County Regional History Center.

It seems the structure of it has come a long way, allowing her to accomplish so much more hands-on work than I had during my time there!

There was a lot of diversity in the projects everyone worked on, so I also learned other ways of being a public historian and doing public history work.

Hopefully, when I enter the Public History Master’s Program at UCF I’ll get to work alongside some of these wonderfully talented individuals!

Thanks for following my journey!

Software Engineer Diaries 👩‍💻 Everything I Do In A Day When I Don't Write Code 🖥️🖱️

am i an engineer or project manager at this point? 🤔

My current project is just like the last one in that I'm taking over partway through and the whole thing is already on fire 🔥 Three weeks in and I finally have some clarity, but I still don't have time to cover all my bases at the onset, so I'm just left scared and stressed about having to figure it out as I go.

met product managers and answered all their questions for over an hour even though all the answers were already available to them 💀 attempted to negotiate scope but get deferred 😒

pulled and analyzed data to confirm everything we already know 😖

met engineering manager and re-re-hashed scope (the original plan sucks and it's kind of my fault for trusting the misleading info handed off to me in a hurry) 🙄

reviewed code but i have next to no idea what's going on, i just know it doesn't look insane (5x) 🤞

helped our intern debug/learn random things but i'm probably not a very inspiring teacher since i'm so freaking done and can't be bothered to hide it much ✌️

updated docs: design docs, project docs, release docs, etc. 📑🗂️🗃️

met intern again to see how she's doing?? idk, i just follow the onboarding plan, even if it's painfully redundant and my social battery is non-existent ⚰️

curated a new starter task for our intern (hopefully it ends up better than the last one which i might've over-complicated, idk)

met senior colleague to come up with a new plan for our new objectives (thank god at least one thing went right today, so i kind of know what i have to do and now i just have to do it) 🤝

today's wrap-up tasks: ticket grooming, scheduling more meetings, answering more questions, etc. 👋

💌: i can't believe i still have to study after all this 😫 i swear this job is aging me prematurely 👵 google, play save me 🙃

Student Internships – Expectation V/s Reality

Student internships have a crucial part to play in making a student become a skilled professional and learn the dynamics of their field. The idea of starting an internship can be quite exciting and scary simultaneously. When you are all set to get a glimpse of the professional world by getting into internships, it is natural to have expectations as shown in popular sitcoms. Student internships are experientially enriching and also come with ups and downs. Though there is nothing that should discourage you from pursuing an internship, a gentle reality check won't hurt you. To know more interesting insights about internships for high school students or college goers' expectations vs reality, read the complete blog.

What about an AU where Manual replaces Aizawa as the 1-A homeroom teacher?

Oh boy we can fit SO MUCH projection into this one

1- Manual only applied to UA because he was applying a bunch of hero schools, and he didn't think he'd get UA but why not try, at worst it's extra interview practice before he really tries at Ketsubutsu. And then he got only got a job at UA and no other school, somehow. And he can't technically complain because UA pays the best and it's a job he signed up for, but how???

2. He also didn't apply as a homeroom teacher, but they offered it to him anyway and he uh doesn't really say no. He figured he could change positions after a few years already if he wanted to, and planned on it, but then realized he liked this position much better and so kept it instead

3. Actually you know what sure all the projection. His third year he ended up being freshman homeroom team lead, which he's pretty sure isn't supposed to happen- Vlad had more experience but said he wanted a break this year from it and no one else applied so....

4. His third year is also when he gets our beloved class 1A! They do not get expulsion threats, and go to orientation. Then Manual tells them they have an essay due at the end of the week, about why they want to be heroes and what their current plan is, to be completed before any combat training. Several students pitch a fit about writing when they want to learn how to fight, but Manual points out that as part of their training, they'll have to do a lot of unpleasant things. Will they put effort into the record keeping they need to learn as pros if they aren't willing to write a paper? Will they be able to communicate in team exercises if they can't even put what they want as a hero into words? How patient can they be for slow moving cases? The class can see his point even if it's not exciting.

The second day of school, two students hand him papers. Bakugou asks if he can start fight training sooner now since he did the whole dumb essay. Midoriya asks him to look over the first draft if he doesn't mind, because he just had a lot of ideas where to take it and wants it to be really good.

By the start of homeroom the second day, these two are no longer sitting in desks right by each other.

5. On the fourth day of school, while Manual has his class looking over their costumes and getting peer feedback, he realizes that Vlad usually would be sending bragging pictures of his class in rescue training right about now, to see if Manual could get his kids to beat them next week when they went to USJ. He sends a message. It doesn't go through.

He thinks "huh, that's weird" right before robot sentry alarms go off about vines erupting from USJ's roof and throwing students out frantically. Manual grabs the closest non combat adult in the hall to watch his class and runs to help figure out what's going on.

#Manual using his excellent Vibe Check at the start of the school year: yeah ok we are gonna have to do some patience lessons early...#all might needs to figure out how to get his kid to stop breaking his bones...#oh yikes Todoroki....... Nedzu let's get a move on those dorms #but also Manual would not let ANY student within a hundred miles of hosu for internship #especially not iida #only reason he lets Izuku get as close as Torino is if because All Might brought the letter in himself #and he was like 'yes or no. that mentor will help him not break his bones on the quirk i just weirdly feel he has not had long enough'#all might is like 'ah ha what do you mean not had-'#'yes or no stop giving me more info i do not have the clearance for it i do not want the clearance for it'#'... yes?'#'ok fine '#starredmoth #pocket talks to people #ask game
