Gratitude List:
I am grateful that Maryland is one of the thirteen states that passed family and medical leave laws. My spring semester started with two major losses (I wrote about one here). This past summer was my first summer off since 2020. The time was restorative.

I liked how the post captured that “reset” feeling of going back to school, where everything feels like a fresh start but also a bit overwhelming at the same time. I had a similar experience when I started a new semester and suddenly got hit with multiple coding tasks right after returning, especially a tricky Python assignment that I underestimated. Things piled up fast, and I ended up relying on python assignment help just to get back on track without falling behind. It honestly made me realize that new beginnings still need support systems to actually feel manageable.
