Oh, the uncertainty! As I enter the second (and final–how bittersweet!) term of my master’s degree here at HDS I am particularly reminded of the anxieties, hopes, and expectations of the “waiting game” that occupied my senior year of college because, in the oddly cyclical nature of things, I am in it once again!

Around this time last year, when the tenuous and uncertain transition to spring usually makes me want to feel time speed up—right through the last of the dreary, cold March days—I found myself wanting nothing more than to put the brakes on the incessant passage of time. I had the great fortune of being admitted to the two dream masters programs I had applied for: a Masters of Theological Studies concentrating in the Philosophy of Religion at Harvard Divinity School and a Masters in Applied Psychology at Columbia. Although I primarily felt just tremendous gratitude for the opportunity to engage in either of these wonderful programs, I was also facing a significant decision that would likely have very different implications for my future.

The notion of ‘fit’ was central to both my excitement and trepidation before arriving at HDS this fall.

I was more than ready to dive into the enriching array of learning opportunities that stood before me, both within and outside of the classroom.
