Answering questions about life in post-grad
Dear friends! As I write this, I am procrastinating on writing a cover letter for a cool job. My internship will end in a few months and the nagging from family members has already begun.

Just also stumbled onto this Twitter thread about people working 9-5 and feeling like they had no hobbies. These two separate posts on Twitter led me to a conclusion- Our culture truly glorifies self-sufficiency but then everyone wonders why they feel so isolated.
Given the fact that I’m coming down to my last few days of my fall 2020 semester, I wanted to capture a weekend in my life in order to look back and reflect on it in later times.
