Grad School Blues

I just started grad school and already feel like I'm about to cry....anyone else feeling this way? Working full time and doing this is going to be crazy. I'm glad I've gotten a lot of the wedding planning already done with!

I know the feeling.. I'm working over 50 hours a week and taking to classes online and taking the LAST exam next month. I think staying very organized with a study plan is the key to making it work

This is my 5th year of grad school (6 year program) and I can't even explain how miserable grad school makes me! Its so stressful! I totally feel your pain! I just keep telling myself that it will be worth it in the end

I felt that way too. I took a year off, now Im pressing to go back in the fall. I needed the time to clear my head. Going from undergrad straight to grad with no breaks, and working as a teacher full time and running a dance studio, was very overwhelming!

I am in grad school currently, but I don't have a full time job. My research is my full time job. And lately I have wanted to pull my hair out and strangle my advisor. I just keep telling myself...only 10 more months.

It's hard at first, but once you make the adjustment you'll be fine.

Do you have any down time at work?

I was working full time when I was in law school and my boss had no problem with me doing my reading at work. That helped me out alot!!!!
