before i succumbed to the house md brain worms in my freshman year medical ethics class we had to watch the house md episode “the tyrant” and write a paper about if it was ethical or not for chase to kill a dictator of a country who was about to commit genocide and like for the sake of the essay i had to say that chase was wrong for killing that guy but like…. this is the medical malpractice show about medical malpractice. hate crimes md. also this is a college essay. and it’s not chase’s job to play god. but like he did it anyway. maybe chase is the real villain. anyway i got like a B- the paper. because it was stupid and i didn’t care about it then. house md is a good show.

I hate being an autistic art student. All the instructions I get are vague and when I see everyone else's work I'm sitting there like I could've done that!? Why did no one tell me?
It's like there's a secret language that everyone else is understanding that I'm not getting.

Advice for black girls entering their first year of College? I am majoring in something that is dominated by men.
Hey love, congrats on starting your first year! I actually just recorded an episode about my experience in higher education this past year. These crazy people were trying to get me to REPEAT THE ENTIRE YEAR. Meaning start over from the beginning, pay again, do the whole first year of med school again! I was like not this black girl. It’s really important as black women that we familiarize ourselves with the school policy (this goes for professional/corporate environments and places of employment too). Know your rights. It’s the only thing that can protect you when an establishment tries to play in your face. Here’s a summary of what’s in the episode/advice for you:
We need to be vocal and knowledgeable about what we say, especially when dealing with administration/faculty because these people will not give af about you if you don’t speak up for yourself. Find your voice because you will absolutely need it at some point. You have to advocate for yourself because they have no problem letting you become a statistic if you don’t.
Align yourself with faculty/staff that seem reasonable and can advocate for you should you ever need it. This was one of the most essential things I did to get myself out of this shit.
Join advocacy/support groups/clubs. It really helps to create networks and contacts of support. I am co-chair of our student wellness and resiliency center. Getting involved is a good way to make yourself known and can come as a major asset when you need letters of recommendations or research/internship/etc. opportunities. Also helps to connect with other black women students in your city. You’ll be able to vent and talk about things that only you as black women will understand. It’s important to have a group of people you can confide in.
Fake it til you make it. Eliminate self doubt/doubt about your abilities and remember your power. Affirmations really help with building confidence. These people expect you to doubt yourself, don’t give them that satisfaction. Try to push yourself a little each day. If you’re shy/nervous about public speaking, start with speaking up in smaller group until you get comfy giving presentations. The more you do it, the easier it gets.
Give yourself time off! Try to incorporate a little bit of self care daily. This doesn’t have to be hours of pampering at a time. Stretching, candle work, aromatherapy while you study, dance study breaks, are a few things you can do. Make sure to take nights off from studying every once in a while too. My counselor said that 1 night a week off is doable.
Find a mentor. Seriously this is so important. Not just any mentor, someone who you can connect with. Reach out to people at your school that are where you want to be. Don’t be discouraged by not hearing back. The professional world is very busy and most times people aren’t ignoring you purposely. Don’t be afraid to send a follow up email. You really need to build that armor of confidence because you’ll meet people along the way who will try to tear you down or don’t believe. It doesn’t matter what anyone thinks, the only opinion that matters is yours and you know you worked damn hard to get to where you are so act like it! Don’t let anyone bully you out of your place.
You’ll do amazing, good luck on this next chapter ✨

College Tips Part 2
- Your college's bookstore is likely gonna crank that price up ridiculously high. Unless you absolutely have to (like if you can't find the book anywhere else or it's something like a lab manual) buy (or rent) your books elsewhere.
- Thrift books is what I look at. It doesn't have everything but I've found some cheap ones on there (I had a biology book that would have basically cost $140 at my college's bookstore and found it for a little under $10 on Thrift books. A word of caution: if you find a deal you like buy it at that moment!!! Cannot stress that enough. I waited a day to buy a textbook and the one I wanted (the cheapest one) was already all sold out so I had to go the next option up
- Be careful when you're renting your books. Don't be like me in my freshman year when I was super nervous I wouldn't get my book in time for the semester and I ordered it too early and had to return it 2 weeks before the semester was finished. Luckily, we didn't even use the book much but that's not the case for everyone.
-Don’t take a summer class if you don’t think you can handle it. For me (and I think this is most places) I have from June until the end of July. You have a lot to learn in a short timespan and then you have exams for those sections that are crammed in there. You really have to put in the time to study. It’s gonna go fast. For some classes, that might not be so bad but more difficult ones will be. 
- Be wary about what you see on rate my professor. If you don't know, it's a site where you literally rate your professor from your school and people can see if they're good or not. You can also leave reviews. The thing is, some people will rate the professor wrongly simply because they think they're unfair or something. It might even be something they did and not their teacher. It's supposed to be helpful but you can't always take their word for it
- Attend class as much as possible. Obviously stay home if you're sick but don't just skip out because you're tired or something. It wasn't a big deal in high school if you missed out a lot (well, it probably was but not to the same extent). But in college, it can be harder to catch up and for my school, we have this policy where you can't skip more than the days the class meets per week. So if you meet two days a week, you can't skip out on 3 (2 in one week and 1 the next week) or else you're dropped from the class.
-Find at least 1 person in your class (especially if you're having trouble) to talk to. It's helpful if you don't understand something (or they don't). You may even become friends with them
- check your school email regularly. Teachers will often send stuff out. Your school will as well (such as if you receive financial aid).
- If your school has you use IDs and you don't wear it, at least carry it with you. At my school, there are certain things you have to have it scanned/checked. They'll take a license but they prefer your ID
- There is NO shame in changing your major or having to drop a class because it's too difficult. If it's not working for you, talk to the advisor about it. 
- You will fail a test or at least do poorly on at least one. It sucks but you have to learn from it. Make sure you're going over your exams. Did you not understand something? Did you make an easy mistake? Look at your teachers corrections. They'll help you. Plus, if you used a scantron, you should see if there were any questions that were marked incorrect but they're actually right. If you didn't erase all the way, it'll be marked wrong
- Do extra credit when it’s offered. Even if your grade is good
- If your library has a book sale going on (like mine has books for 50 cents), looking and see what’s offered.  You never know what’s there 
- I don’t know if I’d said this on part 1, but your workload is going to be significantly different. I had psychology class where I had this very thick textbook with long chapters and we had to study a couple chapters for an exam each time. You’ll likely have a lot of reading and you have to be willing to put in the effort to work harder
- Understand, don’t simply memorize. Can you explain the process? Can you answer it correctly if it’s asked in a different way? 
- Be prepared and keep track of your stuff. It doesn’t look good when you’re asking numerous times for copies of papers you’ve lost
- Find out what you need to know prior to class. It will make your life much easier. Do you need to know what a derivative is? How to balance chemical equations? For me, if I look up a class on the college’s website, I can see the description and depending on what it is, might say that students should have a basic knowledge of ____  or: students should be able to ___ 
If you know what you need to come in with, you can practice ahead of time so you’re not struggling as bad

I just attended my first class which was online. It's a great psychology class and it's titled Abnormal Psychology. It's really interesting and I can't wait to get further into it.
Thing is, there's a TA there and she's a part of this organization that fully supports and uses ABA therapy on autistic people and kids.
I'm well aware of the horrors that autistic people have faced from it, and to see not only the TA in it, but also to actively promote it towards the students just leaves a sour taste in my mouth you know?
I just feel very icky about that small part of an otherwise fascinating class.
