Sunday Edition: I Have Literally One Day Left of School Left (!)

So I spent the week treating myself.

The Sunday Edition is Tuesday’s little sister—off-the-cuff updates I’d bring up over a coffee catch-up with a friend.

Maybe it was my excited energy from being sooo close to finishing school (I have one more class tomorrow after four years!), but I made several connections with total strangers over the last few days that added so much color to my week. I felt like a magnet for interesting conversations, bonding over dim-sum and PMDD with my Uber driver in San Francisco, talking about addiction with a shop owner in Portland, discussing music with a barista in Portland, sipping matcha and chatting in line while selling books at Powell’s.

There’s no doubt I’m an extrovert, but it was such a valuable reminder of how much better a day can become when I slow down enough to invite those connections with other people. It also helped to ease the tenderness from ending my clinical internship (!) on Wednesday. Read on for other highlights, recs, and photos from the week!
