I'm glad they were tracking the efforts of the students behind the scenes, and extra happy that your own efforts were seen and rewarded.

I want to reassure you about your future workplaces, but I've definitely had some supervisors/managers who were incredibly complacent about staff issues. One thing I'd add to @Che_Banana's great advice is to reflect on your responses to those challenges - what did you do that helped to destress you and keep you on track, and what did you do that didn't? Practicing the helpful ones with less stressful events to ingrain them and improve on them will serve you really well.

And always feel free to vent to us!

Wonderful advice, thank you! I still haven't really worked out what actually helped to destress me and what didn't (aside from venting - just feeling heard makes a difference!), because I don't think I ever really destressed until the deadlines had passed.
