In this episode of Woe to Woe, I share my whirlwind first week of grad school. It was a chaotic mix of a freak snowstorm, reading the wrong chapters, and catching the flu, but I learned valuable lessons about persistence and self-care. I also give an overview of my classes in mental health counseling, including Human Development, Theories in Counseling, and Research in Counseling. I offer practical tips for navigating grad school, discuss my studying and note-taking strategies, and reflect on my experiences so far. Join me for an honest and inspiring look into my first month of grad school.
