Most of them had great enthusiasm until the world realized that COVID existed. I even got to know a few Americans from my time in my Master’s program in the USA. For many of them, the tiredness happened before life really started. When heaviest expectations were placed on them. When life didn’t turn out the way they saw it ending up. When their life was stalled by one circumstance after another.
