I Graduated College

 

With a lot of sleepless nights, blood, sweat, and tears, I survived senior year dietetics.  Becoming a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist is no joke.  It is a lot of hard work.  As part of the medical team, an RDN needs to know a lot of physiology and pathophysiology, and we cram it all into one year.  Don’t get me wrong- I LOVE the material.  Nothing was more exciting than sitting through an MNT lecture.  It was demanding though, and to survive, I stopped exercising and (ironically) didn’t put anything in my mouth except coffee and Doritos.  So... 30 pounds later, I am a college graduate with an entire summer to get back into shape before my Dietetic Internship starts!!

I was matched to a local dietetic internship (thank you powers-that-be) on my first time applying.  This is rare, and extremely awesome.  To make it even better, my best friend in college (Haley Rage!) was matched to the same one, so we are in it together!  It will be another year with a demanding schedule.  I will be shadowing Dietitians on 18 different rounds, taking classes towards my Master’s degree, and I will also need to complete a certain amount of volunteer hours in the community.  After I complete the internship, I will be eligible to sit for the RD exam, and finally become an RDN!

Before then, however, I am dedicating the summer to fitness, healthy eating, BLOGGING again, and reading books.  Perhaps there will be travel and Netflix as well.  I am excited to blog again about it all, including recipes and nutrition information.  If you have a nutrition question, be sure to comment or send me an email, and I will do a whole post about it!

Take care until then :)
