CW: Emotional Abuse, Emotional Manipulation, Mention of Panic Attacks If you find yourself saying “at least it isn’t that bad,” there’s a pretty good chance that means it’s not good.

This is because I'm  not  graduating next year, and that's okay. In this first episode of Nothing Typical, I discuss my experience navigating accommodations, time management and self-advocacy at University. I discuss the imperfect mindsets aro...
