A day in the life of schizophrenia

Hello ladies on this awesomely orange day (seems like its the color of choice today huh? Lol Go O's! I'm a football fan but I cheer on both Baltimore birds :) 

This morning we were offered a wonderful educational experience to try  and walk around with voices playing in our heads (mp3 prayers and headsets) to simulate how it would be for a patient suffering this day to day might feel. Phew. That was certainly an experience. Sometimes all it takes is to step into someone's shoes for us to see how we should care for our patients. With the negativity of the voices, the anxiety it drew out of all of us, the misunderstandings in conversations...while it was all fun and good between us classmates I can't imagine having that negativity cloud your thoughts every minute. That aside, it was a great break from lecture and an opportunity to increase awareness on campus even!

Check us out :)

First call night for admissions!

It's a beautiful evening in the admissions office tonight where your decides red student ambassadors are making personal calls to YOU. Yes, you. Please pick up--we're oh so dedicated to get to know you ;)

Look at all those lights and convos going on! 

Growing up is hard but cute :)

Today is the junior's lighting of the lamp ceremony for the school of nursing. So proud of this girl!!! Too bad Candra isn't here to join in the fun :( 

Welcome new student ambassadors!

Today was our training day and the first time the veteran and new SA's met up. We bonded over beach ball questions cupcakes and a scavenger hunt around campus! 

Here's some of the pic!

By the time you ladies start to visit campus, they'll be as seasoned as we vets are. Don't forget, fall open house is just around the corner!

Happy birthday, Arrecka!

Happy 19th to one of our sophomore CA's, Arrecka! I snuck out of my study time (and beauty sleep before clinicals tomorrow!) to come get a taste of our mascot...literally. It felt wrong eating gator but it DOES really taste like chicken. Have you had it? 

Senior shenanigans

Good evening ladies! 

Just wanted to share this awesome photoshoot by my little, Wendi (the only brave soul to comment on here!! Yes, that was a challenge to all you ladies reading this). We are creating #ndmutogas14 which is how we will be documenting our Halloween adventure as a group of college kids trick or treating  around the neighborhood as the Greek deity. Yep, you read right. 

We have the best times when it's unplanned. This ironically inspired my upcoming senior photoshoot by Wendi. I know I'm always behind the camera but according to Liz and Wendi, I need to step out sometime :) 

More to come soon!
