Making the best out of life and opportunities requires one to practice mindfulness. The world is constantly changing and the methods of teaching must also be adjusted according! I believe, my study habits have decrease as well since being in graduate school. I attribute this bad habit to experiences with mindlessness learning. Things become so mundane and standardized, and I feel myself becoming burnt out…Maybe we have been professional students for far too long.

Your post is exactly why I have pondered with the thought of becoming a professor. It comes with a lot of responsibilities, but also, a lot of power. I wonder how my abilities as an educator will change once I have some years of experience in the “real world industry.” I’m sure my experiences solving engineering problems will enhance the type of energy and lessons I can pass onto my students. I hope to one day, down the line, become a professor.

I totally agree with everything you’re saying about PDA. I often keep my academic work off social media because I do not want to bored my non-academic friends. I don’t ever want my followers to feel like I’m doing “too much” on social media. And often times, when I talk about my work, it may come across as “bragging.”
