- You are already great – you need to stay sane and BOUNDARIES are key. Are you scheduling time for a BREAK?
- A brilliant mind can’t function if you aren’t taking care of yourself.
- Balance your “life portfolio” – school, hobbies, friends/family – are you having FUN?
- Be open to where you can use your tools post-graduate school - you have skills that you can use beyond academia.
- Self-reflect – Are you where you need to be? Check your handbook/manual for milestones and be sure to speak to your advisor/program lead/Chair and be CANDID.
- Do you know your WHY? You must have a why that sustains you.
- Feedback is not failure. Listen to the feedback and be true to yourself.
