Great piece of writing, Tobi. We all need a friend like yours; whose compassion is taller than their height.

Thanks for this Tobi. Once again you have blessed us with your experience and thoughts.

When I started my MPhil, I was overwhelmed. In my first week, I constantly asked myself if I really wanted to be here. Interestingly, I wasn’t alone. In my 6th week now and I feel better.

I’ll be reminded to “attempt”.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Sarah. I am happy you feel better and i'm sure you'll definitely shatter glass ceilings in your MPhil. And you are absolutely right: sometimes the only thing we can do is to attempt.

I find your comment somewhat comforting as I feel the same way while studying for my MSc. Hope to get to that place where like you I feel better.

Pursuit of academic success can be confusing and tiring. Since I started my second degree in Law I keep asking myself why I decided to go in for another degree when I already have one plus the pressure of work and family and school is not something you can manage on your own.

Thanks for the engaging post.

At least I know I’m not the only one burning on the road to academic excellence 🤣🥳
