Shout-out to @ms-demeanor for putting these on my dash again, I’d like to add this exceptional interview question “answer guide” that explains traps and “the best” way to answer over 64 common questions.

This one came out a bit fairy-like

I intended to do another winter spread lol. I was going to make a very big spread about things I should focus on about myself to improve. I realized a big part of my opportunities for improvement is the fact that I can really expand my social circle, and that got me thinking about my relationship with people.

First day back in the office in over a year. Still a bit nervous about the crowds on campus (fingers crossed there won’t be another outbreak), but it felt good to be back, and I’m feeling more motivated and positive about my thesis after meeting with my supervisor
