You’re used to fielding questions like:Â “So, you help people find jobs?”
Â
Or “Oh, you mean like physical therapy?”Â
Â
Getting used to calling professors by their first names was weird at first…
Â
…But now its like:Â
Â
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.
Â
You know more about childhood development than your parents do (kidding mommy)…
Â
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).
Â
You worship the ground Dr. Croce Walks on (#NeuroGod)…
Â
You get excited when there is more than one male student in your class
Â
Handling fieldwork registration, homework, readings, meetings, sleep, and a social life can be quite hectic…
Â
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.Â
