-: Me, personally, I love the mixture of meeting with
students one on one and having that interaction
in my office, but also getting to design and implement
programming that's gonna help them on a larger scale.
Oh, it's amazing when you hear they got the internship
that they want, or even the interview.
Or they successfully networked with somebody
and got a business card and got an e-mail back from them.
It's amazing just to hear them and how excited they are,
and even the ones who aren't exactly sure
what they wanna do, and they have that light bulb moment
where oh, I can do all these different things
with my major, or I can switch, I don't have to do that.
And just seeing that on their face makes it all worth it.
So one way that I can combat the stress is definitely
keeping a very organized calendar,
making sure that things are pretty similar across the board.
Typically, my days are pretty organized
if I know I have to do something every single day,
it's going to be at the same time every single day.
In terms of scheduling appointments,
I try to plan those pretty similarly across the days.
And, luckily with drop-ins, we know our schedules
for the entire semester.
So I know on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
between this time and this time,
I'm going to be on the floor.
