I really resonate with what you've shared. As a physics student currently doing my MSc, I understand all too well how the system pressures us to race against time. It often feels like there's no room to breathe, experiment, or truly absorb what we're learning. The constant demand for productivity over quality is frustrating, especially when we're supposed to be nurturing creativity and deep thinking. This really takes a toll on our mental well-being. It makes me wonder how much we're losing in the process.
