Welcome back everyone! This week's episode is a deep dive into how I have been feeling about WFH. It has not been easy!

So many people have reached out to me about their anxiety and stress about making a graduate school decision that is best for you. As many of you know, I quickly pivoted and decided to take a different route by attending graduate school rather than my long dream of becoming a lawyer. It is very difficult to make a decision on your future academic path. In this week's episode, one of my best friends, Andrew Bandini gives his candid advice and experience as a rising 2L at the Charles Widger School of Law at Villanova University. Andrew is a Long Island, New York native, and a CUNY John Jay College of Criminal Justice at the Macaulay Honors College graduate. Not only does he attend law school, but he also received two full-tuition scholarship offers and a member of the Charles Widger School of Law at Villanova University Moot Court Team. Andrew is the best person to give admissions and law school advice and I hope you guys find this as beneficial as I did! Please welcome Andrew as our second guest of Your Weekly Fix Podcast!

Although COVID has impacted people in various ways, during this episode I will specifically address how it has impacted my mental health so very deeply.
