I Would Come Up With A Title But I Was Self-Caring Instead

(I have just started my Ph.D. program, and have gotten together with a classmate to study on a Friday afternoon. Needless to say, no actual work got done.)

Me: “We’d planned to get so much done, but wound up making cookies and playing with her dog.”

Older Doctoral Student: “That’s good, though! Self-care is so important.”

Me: “I love how this program calls it ‘self-care’ and not ‘procrastinating like crazy on everything’!”
