Unexpected Changes: Saying “Okay, good”

Coming into this academic year, I felt pretty confident about the path I wanted to take. I had a plan in mind, knew what I wanted to study, and thought I had a good idea of how my time at Pitt would unfold. But as of today, I’ve realized that there isn’t just one path…
