Hi neighbors! If you’re looking for some art and design to take in this weekend (for free!) myself and the other graduates would love to see you at our graduate exhibition! Each graduating student (about 330 of us) have a space to display their work. I believe there is also wine and cheese. Majors span everything from graduate fine art to transportation design (they all bring their concept cars, it’s so cool) to video game design to architecture!! Wander in and enjoy the sights! Maybe you’ll even find someone to help complete the creative project you’ve been thinking about forever, or even just get advice on how to complete it! We would love to see our neighbors. Thank you for sharing your lovely city with us for the last 2-4 years :)

Hi GERD herd,

I would really appreciate some words of encouragement and kindness right now. I am in my late 20s and my gerd has been pretty controlled for a while. For some stupid reason I didn’t take my medication for like three weeks (grad school stress) and now I am having the bolus sensation. And I’m burping a lot. I am back on my meds and they are considering upping them. I know after a few weeks I will feel better. I also have very severe anxiety (like the people at urgent care calling an ambulance on me severe) about everything in my life and the gerd certainly doesn’t help. Coupled with the stress of the last push of grad school and graduation, I feel like I am going crazy. I don’t feel like I can talk to my partner about it because he is not chronically ill and does not understand. I know I’m doing everything right to control it (I quit vaping!) but I still need some encouragement that I am 1) not dying 2) not even really in danger and 3) on top of things and handling them after my brief lapse in care of myself.
