Finally Having A Break From Academia.

I’ve been in college non-stop during this entire pandemic. Working hard, teaching myself course material while still paying thousands of dollars in tuition, you know the deal. This summer is the first time I have more than just two weeks to chill out and not worry about any type of homework or studying. I’m in between completing my undergraduate degree (I had to take one extra accelerated course to be done with my Criminal Justice degree) and waiting for my first semester of graduate school.

It feels so good to not be obligated to do any type of work. No papers to write, no finals to worry about, no “Saturday at 11:59 pm” deadlines. I’m done with that for now. I can actually relax and not do anything and feel like I’m procrastinating something. I can work on this blog finally. I am free.

I plan on enjoying doing mostly nothing while I can. I know once graduate school starts I will be overwhelmed as hell from day one. Field study AND five classes a semester? That is WILD to me.

But for now, I rest.
