Great post, Haley! It made me so nostalgic to be back on campus...this time of year always does. But I love how you point out that you don't need to be heading to grad school to recreate these intense periods of study. As I'm starting work on a new project (which scares me!) I particularly needed the reminder to allow the first drafts to be shit! Thank you :)

It’s been a little over a month since I started my master’s and the last couple of weeks have felt quite difficult, but this post really helped.

That is so beautifully written and such an insightful text. I will recommend it to students and mention the key points in class.
