I believe that in this moment you can’t. But I also believe in *you*, that you’ll find moments when you can. You’ve accomplished more than you can feel right now, like almost finishing school. When it’s really behind you, it will be scary, but I hope you’ll also feel some relief and, eventually, accomplishment and pride. And then be able to look around and figure out what’s next. Keep your eye on the current prize. Get through your final. You can do this!
