Lots of assignments to do and one of them is especially not going to plan. Have to change the whole thing and it’s due on Friday. Not very growth mindset of me but I don’t think I’m cut out for academia. Then there’s the whole what do I even do with my useless degree thought spirals. Can’t wait to be done with this degree at least. I’m so lucky I get to do a degree but I feel like I’ve taken it for granted.
Academia is so wild, it takes a certain kind of person to be successful in it. I’m certainly not cut out for it, few are.
Besides, you’re still learning new things, the degree isn’t a waste at all. I guarantee you’ve learned transferrable skills and knowledge useful for working in different industries, not just whatever your degree is in.
Whether you pass or fail or whatever the metric is, you still succeeded. You learnt new things, new people, new ideas, new ways of thinking and analysing.
I’m in survival mode.
