#be assertive

Stop being too nice. It's ok to tell a stranger to BACK OFF. Defend your personal space.

I personally would use the word confidence or self-worth (particularly as someone made in the image of God) instead of "proud", but otherwise this is great 👍 Women can be confident, assertive, and kind and nurturing.

I did it!

After hours of working together over Slack, minutes until midnight, with my attention to detail waning and the typos and sign errors increasing...

I told my advisor "I'm going to call it a night. I'll start again in the morning with fresh eyes." (paraphrasing)

And you know what he said?

"Good call! Get some sleep." (paraphrasing)

Sometimes it really is that easy

Anyways, good night y'all

Nemesis gonna be spreading t-virus and coronavirus if he doesn’t learn to respect personal space more. :/

“Mr. Nemesis, sir, I’m practicing social distancing right now. I kindly must ask for you to step the fuck away from me, thanks.”

Food for thought: remember when it comes to your own life, you can only control yourself.
