Graduating from college is a big ol’ mixed bag of emotions. You’ve spent the last four (or maybe five or six or seven–no judging!) years at a place you now call home. Now that you’re finally prepping for departure and going off into the real world, you may feel an onslaught of bittersweet feelings. And […]

Here’s a tell-tale sign that I’m definitely getting older: instead of spending my spring break in Florida or Mexico, I chose to stay home and advance my career. I attended a job fair. While some people packed swimsuits and sunblock in their spring break suitcases, I was packing blazers and sensible shoes. The job fair […]
One of the most challenging aspects of being a junior occupational therapy student is the introduction of practical examinations to our curriculum. Granted, all the OT students had anatomy practicals their sophomore year, but those weren’t exactly on the same caliber as the exams you take in your junior year neurological rehabilitation class. The practicals […]
Here’s a little-known fact about me: I have the hardest time thinking of article ideas. At the Edge Magazine staff meetings, I dread the moment when Managing Editor Michael Haas points at me and asks my ideas for features for the following week.

I’ve loved Valentine’s Day ever since I first set my eyes on an oversized stuffed bear holding a flower. I like to spread the ooey-gooey lovey vibes by making my friends those cheesy homemade cards surrounded by the lace doilies every year. In high school, I even carried around a bag of candy to hand […]

I’ve always been, well, moody, even as a child. I was very particular about my daily routines, and if something upset those routines, like cramming too many activities into a day, I would lose it and become, as my mom describes, “sour.” This earned me many nicknames among my family, such as “Sunshine” or “Happiness.” […]
Oh, winter, how I loathe thee. I’m so excited to see you come Christmas or New Year, but once January ends, you are no longer welcome in my life. January to March is a long stretch to go without feeling the warmth of the sun. During these months, it’s easy to feel exasperated and figure […]
