Well… We did it!
My first semester of graduate school is complete and now we get some time to step away and breathe. This journey has only reached the halfway point but I’ve already learned so much. Not just from an Pharmacology standpoint but about myself as well. With that being said, I thought I'd leave you with a couple of tips that got me through my journey so far.
1.) Plan ahead and schedule. Mapping out your day to day schedule leaves little room for error. Utilizing each minute of your day leads to a level of preparation that no inconvenience could stymie. Good luck is a residue of preparation! 2.) If you don’t know, ask questions. Whether it’s a professor, student or tutor, make sure to seek out answers to any confusion. 3.) It’s ok to let your brain relax sometimes. Graduate school can be stressful at times but it’s not an impossible feat. Meditate, find a hobby, or anything that will allow your brain to recharge. 4.) Take things day by day. There is no point in stressing about how much information is packed into one module. Digesting information one bite at a time is most ideal because no one finishes a meal in one bite. 5.) LOSE ALL DOUBT. The second you start to doubt your ability is a second taken away from understanding. I’ll leave you with a quote from Shakespeare. “Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.”
Before I catch a flight back home to enjoy the holidays with family and friends I stopped by the Second Harvest Food Bank to volunteer. The food bank packages and distributes food throughout Southern Louisiana. I had the pleasure of working with volunteers from the Tulane Business department and we packaged over 300 meals for the elderly and children in need. The only thing missing was my Santa hat!
Happy Holidays and see you soon!
