JB Mitchell (4th year student)
- What have you been up to this semester?
Too much! I have been doing a therapy and an assessment practicum, working at my assistantship, and writing my dissertation. I also got engaged recently, so I’ve been trying to plan a wedding in my “free time.”
- What do you wish you had been able to do more of this semester?
I wish that I would’ve been able to hang out with more people, inside and outside of the program. I’m not taking any classes this semester, so I feel like that has drastically limited my social interactions and it feels like I go months without seeing people.
- Where do you see yourself after completing the program?
I think I’d like to eventually split my time between a clinic and a private practice. I love the flexibility and independence of private practice but want to make sure I’m reaching people of all different sociocultural backgrounds.
- What is your favorite part of ACOPS?
I really like our socials! There’s usually good food, good company, and a lot of laughs. My favorite social of this past semester was definitely the Mario Kart N64 tournament. It was a ton of fun and I got an Avengers beach ball for placing 2nd!
- What is your most frequently used emoji?
Hmmm probably the cat laugh-crying. It just seems fitting in most conversations (insert cat laugh-crying emoji here).
