Re: If I can finish Grad School, anyone can!!

Seriously. Lots of people don't finish in two years. It just sucked because I was in a smaller program that was adjacent to a larger program and those master's students didn't have to do a thesis, but an exit project which was essentially a 20 page paper. So a lot of them graduated, but not one person in my cohort actually graduated when we walked across the stage in May. Actually my master's program only technically has a 50% completion rating - meaning that through the entire program's history (of about 35 years) only half of all the students who have gone through it have finished their thesis.

But I have spent the last few months absolutely hating myself for taking too long, but I figure it needed to take this long for me to finally get a halfway decent product. And stressing about it made me procrastinate worse.

And I don't mind you asking! I am getting my MA in Historic Preservation Planning - which is essentially saving historic buildings through a number of different means and such. My thesis was mainly about planning history - about one planner in particular, who was a Socialist who helped plan parts of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Ugh, yeah, logically I can tell myself that tons of people don't finish in two years. Heck, most of the people in my tinytiny program didn't! But somehow instead of focusing on the three people who didn't, I zero in on the two or three people who did and begin the self-flagellation.

I would also be incredibly bitter about being attached to a program where MA students didn't have to do a thesis. Because I wanna be an MA student who doesn't have to do a thesis. D:

I know nothing really about your topic, and yet I think it sounds cool!
