If you accomplished ~anything~ academically during the pandemic, such as:

• submitted an application
• earned a degree
• passed a class
• did research
• learned something
• taught somebody
• submitted a manuscript
• stuck with it
• changed course
• set healthy boundaries
• figured out what works for you
• helped a colleague

you did it in Very Hard Mode, and I salute you!

If you got your butt kicked, you’re not alone 💜

@sbarolo @academicchatter took my first job in higher education in Fall 2019, also coordinating my entire program while trying to learn how to be a prof. Trying to figure the most basic things out and BAM! Covid. Still bewildered and wondering, "is this normal?" SMH.
