What’s with the picture of the tunnel on the blog?

The honest answer is it came with the blog design and we don’t know how to change it. The more fun answer is that we’ve spent an unreasonable amount of time discussing how to use the photo as a metaphor for grad school. Some takeaways from the discussion on how grad school is like a long tunnel:

  • It’s long, so don’t hold your breath through it. Grad school is a marathon, not a sprint.
  • There are twists and turns.
  • It can sometimes be dark and scary.
  • Some areas of the tunnel are more well-lit than others.
  • It can’t always be seen, but there is light at the end.
