Hi! My mom is interested in going to grad school for SLP, and we’re trying to figure out what programs might be a good fit for her. She currently works as a substitute teacher and has experience working with special education students. She has a BA in Classics.

We live in southern Minnesota, so we’re mainly looking for online programs since there aren’t many online schools nearby. Ideally, she’d also be able to do her clinicals somewhere she can drive to instead of having to fly somewhere.

Also, English isn’t her first language (Arabic is), so she’s a little nervous about whether her English is good enough to become an SLP. Has anyone here gone through an SLP program as a non-native English speaker or career changer?

Would love to hear about any online programs you recommend, especially affordable ones, or just any advice/experiences!

Okay so I’m trying to watch Emily’s new Korea/Japan vlog and it’s really hard to do when every 30 seconds she keeps complaining about how she hates vlogging in public. It is so hard to get through and It’s almost like that is literally your job 😃😃.

One thing I’ve noticed about Loren Asad’s travel content is that no matter where she goes, it all looks exactly the same. She’ll visit places that are dream destinations for so many people, yet the content is always just restaurants, cafés, and blowout appointments.

Paris is the best example. You don’t have to be a huge history buff to enjoy the city, and I’m not saying everyone needs to spend their entire trip in museums. But there are endless things to do besides getting a blowout and eating out. Visit the Eiffel Tower, explore different neighborhoods, take a pastry-making class, browse local markets, see the architecture, or even create food content beyond just filming yourself at a table.

What really stood out to me was that instead of actually going to the Eiffel Tower, she went to a restaurant where it was just visible in the background and took photos there instead. It felt like the aesthetic of being near a landmark mattered more than actually experiencing it.

The same thing happened in St. Tropez with Yasamin. From what they posted, it was just café after café and salon appointments. They have the audience and opportunities to create genuinely interesting travel content, trying Michelin-star restaurants, using their following to go behind the scenes with chefs, exploring local culture, or showing unique experiences but every trip ends up looking identical.

At this point, it feels like they don’t actually travel to experience these places. They travel to recreate the same routine in a different location. If you have the opportunity to not only go to these places, but get paid to visit them you would think that you would make the most of it.
