What to do when graduation is delayed?

Q: How do you stay motivated when you’ve had to delay your graduation date?

A: This is something that’s extremely relevant to me since I thought I’d graduate this year but am now planning for Spring 2022.  For me, it’s been helpful to have a plan for the next 12 months (or however long you think you will need).  It’s okay to make adjustments–life happens.  I’d also ask if there are any benefits to taking this unexpected time.  More publications? Networking? Also, staying off of social media so that you aren’t bombarded with other people’s graduation celebrations might also be helpful.
