It got to the point where the guilt and pressure I was putting on myself was unhealthy and counterproductive, and I could not concentrate or make any progress, no matter how many hours I sat at my desk. Not only did I have serious doubts about whether I would succeed in the field, I contemplated on multiple occasions making use of the Pupin roof to be done with my misery. When things stop being fun, talk to your friends, talk to your advisors, and use the counseling services available at Columbia." |
