... Read moreProcrastination is a common struggle for many students, but it can come with its own unique twists. The awareness of procrastination, paired with the ability to meet deadlines, exemplifies a nuanced relationship with productivity. The phrase, "My only dates are due dates," captures the humor and stress of academic life, reflecting how students often navigate tight schedules. In grad school and nursing school, the pressure can feel overwhelming, yet many find efficiency in last-minute work. It is essential to develop strategies to combat procrastination, such as setting specific goals, breaking tasks into manageable parts, and establishing a clear timeline. Additionally, a supportive community or study group can help keep motivation levels high. Remember, seeking help when needed, whether from classmates or academic resources, can make a significant difference. Balancing 'mom life' with studies also adds layers of complexity for student-parents, enhancing the need for careful time management. Ultimately, while procrastination can be a hurdle, it can also foster creativity and resilience when harnessed effectively. Embracing these challenges with humor keeps the experience light and relatable for many.

When I first began my job search journey, with the intention of moving for my new role, I didn’t realize it would possess so many obstacles. On one hand, I needed a job before I moved in order to be approved for an apartment, but employers like to prioritize people who already live in the area.
