This will be short and sweet because, honestly, I’ve never done one of these before. But I wanted to take a moment to reflect and just catch up with you all about where things are at. 

First, I’ve been thinking about how much I want to get back on track with everything (work, school, life). With Thanksgiving break over, I aim to use the energy I’ve regained in school again. I share a lot of advice and ideas here, and sometimes it feels like I need to take my advice. So, I’m hoping things will feel a bit smoother now—like getting my sleep schedule together (finally) and staying on top of my priorities.

Looking ahead, I’m excited about the future and its potential (especially for this column). I want to explore more, dive into some new research, and do more fun and creative things here. There’s so much to learn and try; I feel like I’ve only really scratched the surface.

So, that’s it for now—just a quick check-in. I hope you can also make the most of what’s ahead and stay grounded in this process! Happy studying!
