I was mission aligned and successful in my work. My employer has been a great mentor.
What I wish was different
I wish I hadn't overwork myself the weeks before classes started. I started my semester pretty burnout and was sick for about five days, which was definitely due to acute stress (I thought it could've been COVID-19 but I tested negative).
Advice
Prioritize your health and well-being. Slow down when it's necessary—and be mindful as to when it may be necessary.
