the end of an era
On May 23 I finished my undergraduate degree, somehow managing to double major in History and French with minors in Linguistics and International Relations. I’m so glad I got to go to the college I chose (and particularly grateful for scholarships!), because I got to meet and live with some very lovely people. The college I went to gave me access to the best academic experiences of my life: a summer internship working for my prof on an archaeological site in Türkiye & a 6 month semester in Paris, France.
I had plenty of hard times— I can’t say that I am a good student, but college has made me confident to say that I can be a good scholar. In September, I will be starting a masters program in Iron Age Archaeology, which I am genuinely thrilled about (and I hardly ever use that word). I expect that next year will be even harder academically than anything I’ve done so far, but I’m so excited to try.
This summer I won’t be doing much— I’m tutoring a couple hours a week, but other than that I’m just helping my mum clean up the house to sell. I will try to keep posting (mostly book stuff, research, and chores) and maybe try to get back into art.
Chat, my thesis only has to be 12k-15k words long, my long Suo Centric fic is 72k words long and I wrote most of it in like 2 weeks, I feel this is highly doable if I manage to lock in
I was very surprised because I remember my psych degree thesis having to be longer than that, not even to mention my other 3 master thesis, one being over 40 pages long.
Executive dysfunction and the paralysing fear of academic failure really play against me, because I've been terrified of starting to work on my thesis because I was scared of how much I had to do in such a short time and it turns out it's not even that long🥲
I really need to step out of the academic life after this is over I swear.
Mutuals/Followers, I need your help! ⚠️
I'm an English major who's currently pursuing a postgrad degree. The final year of my postgrad course will commence from July. So this means I'll have to submit a thesis in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree, by next year. Can y'all please suggest some ideas for the topic of the thesis? 😅 What are some good themes or concepts that I could work on? Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Please DM me, send me asks or interact with this post, if you can help.
Please boost this post, if possible. Thank you! 🩷
