Goodbye student life!<!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s a strange feeling to move away from such an intensive year of graduate study. I find myself beaming in moments of unadulterated joy that I&#8217;ve finally finished, immediately followed by flashes of guilt that \u201cI&#8217;m sure that I should be doing something productive\u201d. And for sure, I still have a long to-do list &#8211; but all the stuff that I used to do to procrastinate from my studies is all the stuff that\u2019s on the list now!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Daydreaming on paper with site structure, jotting down drafts and ideas, designing and ordering my shiny new business cards\u2026 It\u2019s hard to think of these tasks as \u201cwork\u201d when it all falls under the umbrella of chasing the dream and living my passion. I can even justify my mild (ahem) social media addiction, considering I&#8217;m embarking on a career that will directly involve keeping in touch with all of you lovely folk!
