Hi! I just graduated from my college over the weekend and applied there for an Academic Advisor position during the week. To my surprise, I got a call back fairly quickly! I have an interview scheduled for next week.

This is all so new to me, I have never worked a demanding job like this, let alone a full time job. I have done tutoring before and worked with students throughout my undergrad years, but not at this level. I would say I’m a fast learner and pretty organized, and I know what the advising system looks like at my school and how to navigate around it.

Any advice or tips for this position? I am so nervous to be interviewed (luckily it’s a Zoom meeting, so that eases my nerves a bit, but still anxious)!

Hi all, I am due to get my period when I go out of town for vacation next month. My flow is usually fairly heavy the first 2 days, I bleed around 5-6 days total. I have bad cramping, nausea, aches, irritability/mood swings, sore breasts, basically the whole shebang when it comes to period symptoms. I normally rest at home and relax while on my cycle when I can, but we have a lot of events and outdoor activities planned for this trip I’m going on. I’m also 90% sure there will be activities involving swimming.

I do not wear tampons or menstrual cups and never have. I have been considering trying, but I’m scared and don’t know if experimenting during a vacation is a smart idea. Any tips or advice on how I can enjoy this trip and be as comfortable as possible would be greatly appreciated!!
