My name is Mary, I'm 24, and I live in Northern Virginia (just outside of DC!) with my fiance. I'm a freelance editor/writer and content creator. I'm currently working on a graduate certificate at UW, and my dream is to work in publishing. I spend too much time on walks and too much money at bookstores. I have bipolar disorder and OCD, and those two conditions shape every single moment of my life. It's my goal to create a life for myself that honors my mental health, while not allowing it to hold me back. I'm happy you're here x

    Girl I feel you on so many things!!! I can never focus on 1 thing on my to do list without thinking about everything else and then I never get anything done. I also feel really weak and haven’t worked out in a while, so it’s nice to hear that coming from someone else!! ❤

    I love the stair master. I put a towel over the time and speed and set my phone up to watch TV or KZread. If you have a specific show that you like, you can save it so you only ever watch it while on the stairmaster

    You sound like you'd enjoy academic librarianship!! You should look into it in the future after this degree, oftentimes university librarians need a few master degrees (including their master of library science)!! And its such a good way to always be learning and doing research!

    I related so much to this vid! I got a BA in English and am currently finishing a Master of Arts in Communication and people always think I’m crazy when I say I love school. I also feel the SAME way about the gym. And about concentrating on other things when I have to clean the house or put laundry away. Thank you for making me feel less crazy :) also where is Matt from? I’m new to your channel!
