I have made many, many new friends in the past 6-8 months, but I feel like I need to leave this one up here because I’m not done making new friends yet. I have really expanded my social circle but would still like to see it continue to grow.

I’ve been working on this quite a bit lately, but the major hang up I have before I can be truly happy about who I am is my physical appearance. Very shallow of me, I know. I feel like I need to lose about 25 pounds before I can be happy about myself. I have taken other steps to be happy about who I am, but I need to lose some weight before I can be completely happy with myself.
I’ve only got about 9 months of school left until I graduate with my BSN. I still love it and know that I’ve made the right career decision for myself. I was really kind of dreading our OB rotation, but I am about half way through it now and have found that it’s not too bad. It is not an area of nursing that I could ever see myself working in, but I’ve had a great clinical experience thus far. I can’t wait until I graduate and begin my new career!
