10 Things I Learned in My First Term of Grad School

313ecbc6bfda4906255f63c7603e1026

  1. Sleep is not necessary extremely important.
  2. I do my best work 30 minutes after the deadline.
  3. Coffee is a legitimate need.
  4. When they say 15-20 hours of work per class each week, that’s what they mean. 5-10 hours will not be sufficient.
  5. “I will read all the books” quickly changes to “I will skim all the books”.
  6. Spotify can carry me through 6 hour study sessions.
  7. All hobbies have disappeared.
  8. What was I thinking? is a question that plays on repeat.
  9. “Change this to MLA format” is the most terrifying thing I’ve ever heard. (I thought it was MLA format?! *panicked Googling*)
  10. Writing is hard and terrifying and I love it so much.

    Great list. I have googled MLA format more than once! Google is my friend. 🙂

    Coffee, dear Kayla, is more than a legitimate need… it is a life giving force. 🙂 Enjoyed your listing.

      You are SO right. Of all the things I need on a daily basis, coffee is right near the top!
