How to have an effective study session

"Without a vision, a people perish." This quote is carved into the outdoor amphitheater of my hometown, and somehow it has stuck with me for my life thus far. This mantra is now your new best friend for study sessions. I find as a tutor that there is no one size fits all solution or [...]

I PROMISE there is more to my life and personality than triathlons. But they produce silly pictures and make good stories so heres my 70.3 Saint George recap:
Me: I hate riding bikes
Fun fact: Someone in one of these pictures had literally just pooped their pants
Ironman 70.3 Oceanside proved to be far more mental than physical. Objectively the result wasn’t terrible: 4/52 and I achieved a goal of getting a spot for world championships, but emotionally I am incredibly torn. To make a long story short my nerves and frustration with my training performance for this race culminated in a mental low early in the bike ride. The minutes felt like hours. 56 miles later I was really questioning why I do this sport, why I have become so much more self critical these past few months, why some asshole invented the bicycle. BUT I managed to make it to the run because I knew I had friends and family there who were so eager to support me. The run was electric! The joy in those 13 miles washed most of the mental turmoil away. @emmaabrahamson @kaseypinter @trichanclas thank you!! Your cheers meant more than you could know. @bfield97, I will never be able to express how grateful I am for your undying enthusiasm for me and patience while my mental game is crumbling. And to everyone who sent me sweet messages and cheered me on at home, you rock!!
Riding bikes isn’t that serious pass it on!!
A week ago I passed my oral qualifying exams and I am now a PhD candidate. This is a pretty big achievement in the journey of a PhD but to be frank it feels weird to celebrate it. The stress and the work load of the last couple of months sucked the life out of me in a way I had never experienced before. I lost my sense of self and slipped into a depressive episode I naively thought I would never be susceptible too. It’s been the longest winter of my life.
We went to Austin to run but shifted focus to eating as many breakfast tacos as possible 🤠
26 was the best year of my life. Hands down. Seems like they keep doing that, getting better and better. I like it :) Big love to everyone who made me feel so damn special for this bday. Now for more silly joy in this 27th year!!
