If you've been stressing over how to ask a professor for a recommendation letter, trust me, I’ve been there! I reached out to my prof with a simple email structure: I reminded them of the class I took, shared what I was applying for, included the deadline, and added a one-page brag sheet to highlight my skills.
The key was also making it clear that if they were too busy, it was totally okay to decline. This made the whole thing feel way less awkward!
