Today is my (hopefully) last first day of school! So many emotions right now but this is the mood I settled on this day: 😬😅

These #sociology journal placements are quite interesting this year (according to google scholars metrics, at least).

The UW terrace is back 😍 (and I actually think it looks great even with the weather like this)

I know there are some issues with these types of metrics and I normally don't brag about this kind of stuff, but I was notified that I reached 100 citations on google scholar! A nice boost on an otherwise difficult day 🎉
