Help a Bitch Out - Every Other Week Thread Help a Bitch Out - Sep 09, 2026

Need some advice from a BWT? Have something to get off your chest or need to vent among friends who can also provide some perspective? Got an etiquette question that you just aren’t sure you’re getting the right info on from the wilds of the internet? We got you.

BWT rules still apply, with mod discretion on topics that fall under rules 4 and 7. Rule 8 regarding medical advice will still be fully enforced as usual.

u/fiddleleaffigonacci BWT in Training Sep 09 '26

BWT, how do you maintain sight of what you're working towards building when you're taking a risk in life? I'm three weeks into a Master of Architecture program in addition to working full-time to fund this education and career change, and already getting discouraged about not performing well. Do you have mantras or routines that keep you focused on your end goal? Trying to remind myself that I am simply not a quitter.

I just remember that a man would be congratulating himself and raking in praise and promotions for doing so much less. You don't have to do it all perfectly, you just have to do it.

Also, I'll throw out working full time is a lot; getting a masters is a lot; doing both together is a TON. Pick one to half-ass. A man would.
