One of the biggest questions each of us asks ourselves is at what point in our career is a good time to go back to graduate school. I’ve been neck deep in application essays for the past few weeks. I think the answer to that question is a simple one when you find so much joy and empowerment in writing about your future career plans.

Another driving point for me is the thought of going back to New York. After the past few years of hopping back and forth between the city and random other cities and states and countries, I’m excited to finally return home.
