To every graduate student defending their dissertation soon:
Yes, it is mostly a formality. Yes, virtually everyone passes. No, you won’t be the one person who doesn’t.
Sincerely,
Someone who firmly believed she would be the one person who wouldn’t pass

I ❤️❤️’ed step aerobics! In my 4th year at UVA (so many yrs ago😳) I used to leave my Shakespeare class 5 minutes early to be sure I would get to the gym early enough to secure a coveted spot in the STEP aerobics class🤦🏻♀️
.@UVA_Recreation leader Erica Perkins has seen trends come and go, from aerobics in the 90s to HIIT today, but the fundamentals of getting in shape remain steady. news.virginia.edu/content/st…
