    Starting vet school sounds pretty exciting, and also intimidating!

    I'm not looking forward to much. I'm trying to get myself prepped for job interviews this fall / winter, so I've been working on my portfolio and doing a lot of learning about UX.

      Had any job interviews already?

      Also, what exactly is UX?

        I have not. I don't graduate college until December, but I'm hoping to get stuff set up around October - November, the earlier the better.

        And UX stands for User Experience, and it's sort of hard to describe. It's kind of a collection of various jobs and skillsets. It's mostly within the tech industry and the term wasn't even coined until the 1990s. It basically is the "what, when, where, why, who, and how of a user's journey through the product."

        This video from UX Mastery can describe it better than me. But I'm definitely interested in it and it's field I want to go into. So I'm excited about the possibilities.

          Interesting. Really a field where you have to be aware of all the aspects of something to make it actually work. Guess that a lot of UX designers are interested/participate in the different levels of product development/launch/etc.? Good luck with the applications! Don't forget to take some breaks every now and go out and have some fun!
