Random trivia about me: May is my favorite month of the year! Sure, the better weather. Flowers are blooming. I survived the end of semester craziness. But the biggest things: It's the beginning of the summer break, and I have such high expectations for all I'll get done by the time classes start again. May is the month of promise and hopefulness.
Ok, but for those of you planning on going on the market this coming year: Don't get too relaxed. There is lots to do this summer. See this very helpful twitter thread written just for you. The big things: Start writing! Spend time polishing your papers (e.g., make sure you put your footnote after the period). And also, don't ignore your advisors over the summer. Yes, they may be basking in the glory of May (see above paragraph), but they also want you to do well on the market next year and may not have as much time to help you once the semester starts.
