Been there done that. If your last 60 units are really good then there are schools that look at your last 60. Try to stress your unique traits that make you really stand out like leadership skills or that you love to get involved with the community, and make it seem like you have a true understanding of what PT is and where the field is headed. Be interesting, not too generic cuz you know everyone will be saying "i wanna help people" at their interviews.
Thanks I just calculated my GPA from my last 60 units and it's a lot closer to the average GPA of people accepted.. so hopefully that is what most schools I apply to look at. And yeah I'm hoping my two years volunteering at this PT clinic my school had will make me a little unique. Volunteering there is what made me really want to do neuro PT and I wrote about that in my personal statement. This whole process is just really stressful.
When you say 'been there done that' do you mean grad school generally or specifically with PT?

I'm finishing grad school in another competitive rehab career, just feel a little weird saying what exactly it is openly on the forum, and I started out with a horrible undergrad GPA because I had no idea what I was doing at that time--so I know exactly the uphill battle you face even though your GPA I'm sure was better than mine. I had to go back to school and take fluff classes and prereq classes to boost my GPA which even then my overall GPA was still just average after acing everything--I agree the process is just crazy stressful with all the time, energy, and organization it takes--but somehow you will just get through it and you'll be in PT school before you know it--studying every bone and nerve and muscle in the body lol.

I really want to travel more. In the country and out of the country. I want to see Miami (I've only been in the airport), NYC again (I haven't been since I was younger), Puerto Rico, Norway (my mom's side is all Norwegian and it looks beautiful), and Poland (I really want to see Auschwitz).
With everything else I want to get done this year I'm not sure how I would fit in traveling.. but maybe that can be a 2017 thing? Or just pick one place to see this summer maybe. Idk but there's so many places I want to see.

I'm seriously considering anatomical implants. If they aren't hard looking or feeling, then I'm in. So tempted! I'm sick of these round boobs. I lost a bit of weight and it's all implants. Ugh. I don't want to be smaller either...cuz I haz azz, hips, and a small waist. Pear shaped lady.

When do you plan on applying? I probably won't even attempt applications until 2017 (LATE 2017 lol)
Probably this summer for MD schools and if nothing pans out, DO in the spring. I won't take the mcat until June most likely. Sad I won't start until I'm like 26 but it's a marathon and not a sprint... And I'll still be the only one of 4 people I know who gets in anywhere. I'm fucking going even if I have to go Carib, dammit!

I'm depressed and I need something to occupy my time besides dancing. UGH! Life is so annoying in that it never happens the way you think it will. Before I graduated, I was looking forward to this time so much. I thought that doing nothing but reading, working, and going to the gym would be heaven. But now I just find myself constantly bored, waiting for the weekdays to hurry up and pass already. I guess I really did need the structure and distraction of school!

Yeah I'll be 24 this year so I probably won't actually start grad school till I'm close to 26 too (that's if I get accepted anywhere). I think that's a fine age to start an intense grad program anyway. The director of one of the schools I'm applying to said it's better to go when you're mentally ready and not to just rush into it.

This is me right now...because camming from home doesn't always feel like "work" I tend to find myself feeling guilty and spare when i go to gym at 10am in the morning or go shopping when everyone else is in the office. Regardless of how much of a shift I've pulled on cam or how much money I've made I don't feel like I work. I feel like a lady of leisure and it feels weird.

^^That's the #1 thing I like about camming, that I feel like I don't have a job. Who wants to "work?" Working is not fun to me, I looooove being a lady of leisure.

One of my best friends just texted me that she's officially over her piece of shit, abusive bf and is going to get a new apartment and officially leave soon. I JUST had a conversation with another friend about how I've been distancing myself from the situation lately because I just can't keep getting emotionally invested in her never-changing, increasingly-terrible choices regarding men. I really don't want to get my hopes up about this, no matter how much of me just desperately wants it to be true this time.
She literally just told me that she doesn't know when she'll be able to check in with me next because her bf hid her phone, she found it, but she can't let him know that she has it again..... If that isn't a biggest, reddest, flag painted WITH BIG BOLD LETTERS: ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP, I don't know what is...
No matter how much training and experience I've had with victims of abusive relationships, it's just so hard when it's someone you actually know.

^^My first thought was 'Don't get too excited....' because I have seen how well these 'final breakups' tend to go, how often they get cancelled or how long they actually end up lasting if they do actually even happen. But some people DO actually wake up though so hope she's one of them.

I just bought 2 quartz dorjes online, one for me and one for the guy who does my nails. Not even sure what a dorje even is, apparently they're supposed to represent a sword and they are used in some Buddhist rituals. I just think they're so pretty and my nail guy is Buddhist, they keep a shrine in the salon that they decorate and leave offerings at every day. I hope I'm not committing a Buddhist faux pas by giving him one. I gave the female that works there the rose quartz I keep in my purse because she may have to have an 8 week early c-section tomorrow and rose quartz is supposed to be beneficial to pregnant women and children. Turns out she's really superstitious and totally dug the idea.

My bf and I have been watching the Harry Potter movies lately. Well, the next one we were going to watch is "The Half Blood Prince." We just watched "The Order of the Phoenix" yesterday! And then I find out Alan Rickman is dead. The Half Blood Prince is Snape (Rickman's character!) What a fucked up, depressing coincidence, that that movie was the next one we were going to watch. My bf woke me up with the news he was dead. NOT a good way to wake up! What the fuck universe. Rest in Peace, Alan Rickman. :'(
Weird that both Rickman and Bowie died of cancer at the age of 69, within a few days of each other, and both were British. Too many sad coincidences for me.

Hell naw! First I'd never gift a lottery ticket. Second if I was feeling super generous and happened to gift a ticket and it won - I'd probably write some contract before gifting it that says I'd get 30% or something in the rare chance it wins.
The winner would be a selfish greedy cunt if he/she didn't break her boss off some of those winnings.

Good to know men in civilian bars will still bother me.
Bad to know they still don't understand the phrase "I got it, I'm fine", and get butthurt when you don't let them buy.
No random stranger, I don't need you to flag the bartender down for me (I'm not impressed that you know her name), and I can buy my own $4 drink.

It's my friend's sisters 21st, so she wants to go to the big strip of bars/clubs downtown. Now I have 1st world problem complications. Halp.
1) It's really hard to pick an outfit to wear when it's cold out. A dress will be freezing my legs off standing in lines to get in, and then I gotta worry about putting my coat somewhere, and the warmest coat I have was like $300 so I do NOT want it stolen
2) Don't wanna drive bc too many cops around, don't wanna take light rail bc it skeeves me out even in the daytime, can't ask them to pick me up cuz I live way far in the wrong direction. Hmmm.
3) I just realized how few 'slutty' clothes I have anymore. One LBD that's skanky as hell, but that's it besides plain tank tops and 2 crop tops. Instead I have all this off-the-shoulder, oversized shit that's in style now. Crap.

I occasionally have dreams about this guy that I'm attracted to, and I find this so bizzare, but every time I dream about him, he is a giant douchebag in my dreams. Every time.
IRL, he can be a little immature in typical "immature guy fashion," but has otherwise always been nice to me and done me a lot of favors. I find it really weird that my dreams about him always make him a massive jerk.

My bf is in right now having eye surgery. He has severe heart issues and I am scared for him that he might just die on the operating table. They tell you that before you go in for surgery that that might happen. They also tell you there's a possibility you might go blind. The second option for him is worse than a death sentence. I'm just really nervous and hope everything goes ok!

For a while when I started first seeing my ex I would often have dreams where he was being a complete asshole to me when in reality he was always a complete gentleman and one of the kindest people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. I think it had to do with me subconsciously and pessimistically waiting for the other shoe to drop in regards to how good he was.

I'm going to start meal prepping. I mostly just need something to do when I'm not at work lol so I spent a lot of time planning meals and calculating how much carbs protein & fat I need in my diet and how much I've been eating. It's crazy when you sit down and calculate it and how much fat and how little carbs and protein I've been getting. I ordered meal prep containers and I'm gonna spend a day cooking a bunch of meals. I love cooking so I'm looking forward to it. I think this will make my sundays more productive and it should make eating healthier a lot easier. I like to cook but sometimes I'm just way too lazy and I end up eating something unhealthy instead. Plus I waste a lot of food so this should help me use up everything I buy.

This is correct, they can choose to have pre-rolls (and give the option to skip or not skip), ads at the bottom of the screen during the video or no ads.

Thanks he is great! He is seeing very well now and its not even been the 72 hours healing period yet so it will be even better. His quality of life was really bad before, he actually lost a couple acting gigs because he couldnt read cue cards and he was about to have to stop driving. He had massive headaches all the time. Now he is doing really well and is back to his old self which is such a blessing. Heres us last night his eye was still dilated a bit. It's such a huge difference, I saw him smile and laugh for the first time in a long time so hopefully this will change things a bit. It was really bringing him down..

Yep. Like others mentioned, YouTube allows you to connect ads to your vids so every time someone view you get however many cents. So the key is to have hundreds of thousands or more views and keep putting out videos lots of people want to see. And it eventually adds up.
Also you can link back to any website so when viewers see your videos they can click a link to go to a website where you sell stuff.
And another way is to simply get recognized. People who get millions of views can become a household name that can lead to sponsorships, guest appearances, and other lucrative deals

I don't know how to find good balance in the winter. Left to my own devices, I do next to nothing. It's cold and snowy so I don't go do anything I absolutely have to (babysit, work, take out the trash, get food), but this puts me in a major slump. The last few days, I've been sleeping in later and later, slacking on my diet and exercise, and I lie down for like 2 hours in the middle of the afternoon. I don't actually fall sleep because I'm not that tired - I just lie on the couch with my eyes closed the entire time because I don't even have the energy or attention span to sit up or watch TV.
OTOH, if I overschedule myself with things to do when I'm feeling so blah, forcing myself through it produces the same effect. I'll get shit done, but then instantly come home, eat like crap, and pass out. And then start cancelling on future things because I feel like I need to recover. Then recovery days turn into the above scenario... rinse, repeat...
Fuck SAD. I desperately need to be where it's warmer.
