Time's Almost Up

I have almost two months left as a student. Two more months and I'll graduate with my master's from USC. I can see the finish line, and as cliché as it sounds, I'm so close but yet so far. It's a weird feeling. There's so much time left, but at the same time, there's also not enough.


9 weeks seems like a lot of time, and lately I can't help but wonder am I using my time wisely? Do I have good time management? I feel like I'm racing against time to finish all my assignments, semester long projects and stories. I can't help but wonder am I doing enough to build and strengthen my portfolio, to create my reel and prepare myself to enter the work field? There's so many things I still need to do and so many things I want to do that I'm stressing myself out and overthinking for no reason.


Sometimes I just need to remind myself to take things one step at a time and remember, there's only so much I can control. And I realize it's pointless to stress and worry about the things that I have no control over. While I am aware of that, it won't stop me from stressing or worrying, and that's just the life of a grad student...


But that's just part of the grind to get to where I want to be, and I know I am not the only one who has to go through this struggle alone. We all can't wait for the end of Zoom University and I'm still hoping to for the day we all meet get to gather and meet safely.


While going to grad school during a pandemic is not an easy task, it's definitely going to be an interesting story I plan to tell to my kids in the future or even laugh and reminisce with my friends..."Hey remember when we had to deal with a pandemic while going to grad school at USC?"
