I don’t know if anyone else has experienced this 🧐 I kept thinking… this is it!! I’m really done! 🥳 and then being hit hard when I realized I wasn’t 🥺 Every moment mentioned was a step closer to being done 👩🏼‍🎓 but it never quite was 😢
☀️
☀️
☀️
So since I returned my laptop yesterday I keep thinking something else is going to pop up 👻 and drag me back into that PhD life 👩‍💻 I think I’ve been a little traumatized by the experience 😭 
☀️
☀️
☀️
So I just keep telling myself this is REAL! 😃 You are DONE! 😊 There is literally nothing left to pull you back in! 🤩 You are SAFE! 😮‍💨 I feel like this is maybe a weird thought process to have 😅 But it’s how I’m feeling right now so I figured I would share it with you all 😁 Maybe you can relate 💕
