Prioritizing physical activity during a time in your life when your world is dominated by the stressors of schoolwork is commemorable! As a previous kinesiology major, I would love to dive into the weeds on how physical activity, or lack thereof, impacts your current and future health. But, considering you are entering the healthcare field, I am sure you already know much of this information! So, without further ado, let me share some tips on how to stay physically active as a graduate student:

There may come a time when you will need a breath of fresh air, perhaps a break from studying at your desk or at the school library.

Look no further! Here are 10 outdoor activities for you in Fullerton and Orange County!

The following activities are listed in proximity to Marshall B. Ketchum University (from closest to furthest).

1. Visit the Fullerton Arboretum - 1900 Associated Rd, Fullerton, CA 92831

If you’re a foodie like me, you’re probably wondering where the best places to eat are.

I have crafted a list of foods that are both close to campus and a little further from campus (~20 min) to help you with your restaurant decisions!

Hana Maru Sushi - Downtown Brea

I’ve had a few places in the area already but Hana Maru Sushi in downtown brea is hands down my favorite. Their sushi is always super fresh and the price is pretty hard to beat. My one complaint is that service can be pretty slow during peak hours since they usually only have 2 servers.

Congratulations!

1. Self Care, Self Love
2. Say yes, adventure is out there
3. Pause
4. Celebrate the little wins
5. It’s okay not to be okay

Finding the right place to study on campus is crucial as it can significantly enhance your performance. Fortunately, MBKU offers a range of spaces that you can utilize as study areas, and I'll provide a brief description of each location.

Now that you are set to attend the graduate school of your dreams, you may have found yourself listening to the tickling hum of doubt stirring up from your deep thoughts.

Did I deserve a spot in this class? Is becoming an optometrist, or pharmacist, or physician assistant really what I want to do for the rest of my life? Am I making the right choice to invest in these next couple of years of grueling education?

Starting your first year of optometry school, or any school for that matter, can be a bit daunting especially when you do not know anyone… yet!

In this blog post, I will go over a few ways you can make some new friends throughout the year and even connect with some of our great faculty and staff around campus.
