My advice is remember to breathe. Sometimes we can get so caught up in deadlines, discussion groups, anxieties, and we almost forget to breathe. Take a deep breath and remind yourself you got here and you will get to your goal, one day at a time.

Don't lose sight of the big picture and remember to maintain balance.  We are intelligent, capable people.  This is a great time to learn to carefully balance all our highest priorities so we can be our best for everyone in our lives...including ourselves.

My tip is to take everything one day at a time. Make daily to do lists and prioritize your tasks. Do not stress out if you are behind or running out of time. Your cohort and professors are there to help you and they want you to succeed. Always have a positive and happy attitude. It'll make a huge difference in your life. Here is one of the things that makes me happy. :)

Network, Network, Network. We are surrounded by unique, talented, brilliant group of people. Learn from each other.

My tip is to not be afraid to reach out for help. We have so many professors and resources at our fingertips so don't be afraid to send an email and ask questions. Most likely many people will be in the same boat and will have those same questions and concerns. Especially since we are online, we can easily feel like we are doing this program alone but there are so many supportive people in our cohort and in this department to support us along the way! But, most importantly, eat cheese and look at pictures of puppies! :D

My tip is to just breathe. If you aren't sure, or feel overwhelmed, chances are you're not the only one. Remember, mistakes are meant to be made in grad school :)

As I eavesdrop on conversations of people in our cohort, it is evident that this has been a long journey for all of us and still have further to go.  Throughout my academic "career," one of the most valuable pieces of advice given to me by a professor was to always go back to why you started the journey in the first place and let that push you to continue. Secondly, I think about the lives that I will be involved in as a future therapist.  What I learn and how I learn will affect them in the future.  Learning for the sake of others has been a great source of strength.

My tip (like many others) would be to find that balance between work, your family, and school. Since this is online and part time that can be difficult since our schedules are so open but setting time aside as "School Time" and letting everyone know you cannot be bugged during that time could be helpful. So taking care of yourself and giving yourself that time away from theAlso, realizing that you cannot dedicate all your time to one assignment to make it perfect is important. We are here to absorb as much as we can to become the best SLPs we can be and are not here to get hung up on small things. Finally,

My tip would be to make sure you get enough sleep. It is more important than most people realize. Studies have shown that sleep deprivation can shorten your life expectancy and increase your risk of cardiovascular disease (https://www.nhs.uk/news/lifestyle-and-exercise/lifespan-linked-to-sleep/). We all function better during the day when we've had a good night's rest, so be sure to get your Zs.

Hi all!  My tip for grad school is to not be so nervous to try new things.  I really liked a tip that Dr. Hoepner gave us this week, "you always have to do something for the first time once, so you might as well get it over with."

Hi everyone!  My tip for grad school is to let go of perfectionism, as our professors have shared with us, and remember we are going to make mistakes.  Our goal should be moving towards shaping ourselves towards becoming a well-rounded professional, and that doesn't mean always getting A's necessarily .  Also, set aside time for self-care, I speak for myself too, and reach out to professors if you need help.  I think we can all agree that the faculty is incredibly caring, and wants us to succeed, but they won't know we need help unless we voice it.

My tip is to carve in time for the things you enjoy. Don't forget to take time for yourself and be okay with saying "no" to things that may get in the way of you managing your time and energy.

Hey ya! My tip for Grad School is, as the professors have said, don't focus on the letter grade of a class but on the content you are learning. In the long run we won't even remember what grade we received in each class, rather we will remember the experiences and the knowledge. Future clients and employers are more interested in your ability to treat speech and language disorders rather than if you received and A or a B in a class. I think for many of us, especially myself, this is easier said than done.

Hey guys!!!  My tip for surviving grad school is to remember to keep a balance in all things and remember to have some "me" time!  One last thing is to remember to ask for help when needed, we have an amazing cohort and know that we all will do whatever we can to help each other out!!

Hi all! My tip for grad school, especially our online program, would be to always utilize our resources. Even though we are off campus we can still seek out assistance whether that be video-chatting a professor if we need more clarification, emailing library staff back and forth to try to find the perfect article, etc. As students of uwec, we are still eligible for university services even though we may be far away.

Hi all! My tip for grad school pertains more to online education: having done quite a bit of it leading up to now, I've found that it's so much easier to procrastinate than in a regular classroom-setting. It's much easier to not feel bad about not doing something when you're not looking your professor in the eye a few times a week! It's easier to procrastinate and therefore easier to get behind! It's important to stay on top of it, which easiest to do (I'm echoing everyone else here!) when you set yourself a regular schedule of having it built into your day to balance out everything else in your life!

My tip would be to try to incorporate/integrate Grad School in to your schedule with the other things in your life, especially since we are a part time program. Not that this program is not a priority, of course it is, but it needs to be in balance with the rest of the things we got going on. -Robet C.

Hey ya'll! My tip for Grad school is to keep the mindset that the professors and other classmates are here to help us succeed. I don't want to speak for us all but I know there was A LOT of pressure in undergrad to be perfect. I really needed to hear what Dr. H said the first day about us no longer having to worry about a "weeding out" process. So anyway we can continue to remind ourselves and each other about that over the next 3 years will be helpful :)

Hey guys! My tip for surviving grad school would be to set aside time to relax and have your "me time." For me, I enjoy reading and sitting outside enjoying nature with my dog. I feel like it's super important to find time to take a deep breath and appreciate life because we can get so caught up in all the craziness life gives us.
