Grad School Supply List | Graduate School Essentials

[@theacademicsociety]

What are your essential grad schools supplies?

[@kdoddieTR]

Can you do an online edition of this video?

[@theacademicsociety]

@@kdoddieTR That's a good idea! For the most part, I think the list would be the same. I'll have to brainstorm some more essentials for the online version.

[@cassiesarcinelli2335]

why did I tear up when you said "I deserve to be here" thank you.

[@theacademicsociety]

Aww! I tear up so much when I'm filming these videos too!! And you definitely deserve to be where you are!

Memory sticks and a hard drive to back up important documents. I used it in undergrad and plan to use it in grad school

[@sonyabracho2347]

Clear sticky notes- you can see the text book print underneath and write notes without actually writing in the book.

[@theacademicsociety]

Those sound awesome! I can't believe I haven't heard of this!

[@kdoddieTR]

Before even watching "A planner" is a must!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@theacademicsociety]

Haha! 100%

[@ClaudiaJacksonx]

I’m so glad I found this. I start my first year as a grad student next month. I’m going to get my master’s in social work. I’m nervous, but excited.

[@theacademicsociety]

How exciting!!! Congratulations on being accepted to your program! You got this!

[@ClaudiaJacksonx]

@@theacademicsociety you are so nice. Thank you ❤️

[@katprizee]

Zotero SAVED me in undergrad, literally can't imagine how useful it's gonna be in grad school, I start this Wednesday and I'm beyond excited!!

[@theacademicsociety]

Yesss! You got this! Have a wonderful semester!

[@tiffaniealexander]

self motivation is a must

[@theacademicsociety]

oh yeah! 100%

[@karleybioanthro]

So happy I found your channel!! Just started my MS program! Love all of your recommendations!

[@theacademicsociety]

That's wonderful! Thanks for watching and best wishes this semester!

[@EmilyKathrynH]

This was so helpful! I am starting grad school in the fall so I will definitely check out your other videos

[@theacademicsociety]

That's so awesome! I'm so glad you found my channel!

[@rheam3920]

These videos are so helpful! I got accepted into MS clinical psych program and everytime I think about it, I somehow feel like the faculty made a mistake because how can they choose me? Sometimes its so hard to believe that we deserve the good things in life

[@theacademicsociety]

That's the imposter syndrome setting in! You 100% deserve to be in the program. You will be there as a student...to learn. So don't be afraid to ask questions. You are not supposed to know the answers already (or you would already have the degree)

[@Thatboytravels]

Very helpful tips! I am attending graduate school this fall. Thank you for your insightful video.

[@theacademicsociety]

That's wonderful! Congratulations on being accepted to your program!

[@dezziefbby]

I just found you and I love your vibe. You seem so sweet.

[@theacademicsociety]

Thanks so much!!!

[@hello-em4ut]

So helpful! How do you make sure to stay on a schedule without getting overwhelmed or burnt out?

[@theacademicsociety]

I have plenty of time for myself! I stop working by 5pm everyday and I don't do any work on Saturday. Also, when I'm working, I use the pomodoro technique so I'm really focused for short periods of time and take breaks in between.

[@jalandajones5170]

Definitely want to organize digital homework on your computer into separate folders for each class with colored tags if you have a Mac

[@theacademicsociety]

For sure! The color tags are a nice touch! I've never used them but I'll definitely look into it! Thanks for sharing that!!!

[@bbear27777]

For articles, I really like clipboard with a cover! You can clip in all the relevant article and bring a notebook :)

[@theacademicsociety]

That's great! Thanks for sharing!

[@enas7547]

I start business school in September & already hunting for a travel backpack.

[@theacademicsociety]

Nice!!! Congratulations on being accepted to your program!

[@alexa42490]

A roller bag with plentiful space & compartments is vital to be consistently organized.

[@theacademicsociety]

Compartments are so good to have!

[@farihamohamedhilmy4700]

External hard disk is important

[@along58]

This was an amazing video and your personality is beautiful!! Thank you for the advice!

[@theacademicsociety]

Aww! Thank you so much! And thank you for watching and commenting! Glad this was helpful for you!

[@annondemand6607]

Toyin, we should do a collab! Love your videos :)

[@theacademicsociety]

I just checked out your channel! It's perfectly aligned with what I talk about! A collaboration would be so fun!

Ahhh I got my Bachelor’s in Math, currently enrolled in my Master’s in Data Science and Business Administration. My goal is to get my Ph.D in Pure Mathematics!!!

[@theacademicsociety]

Oh wow! I love to meet other mathematicians! That's wonderful!

[@wowing4429]

I was writing down the list as you were saying it and then saw that I wrote “lox bunch” XD

[@theacademicsociety]

haha! love it!

[@romaldocasasmadridiii2354]

After watching the TV show NBC's "Community" I have this fantasy about going to college and writing TV shows that take place around college or there students with different genres of stories. Do you think there should be more TV shows that take place in grad school because there's some many teen shows? I have ideas for college shows. Comedies like "Victorious" or "Friends", action/fighting, mystery-drama, drama's like "the O.C". , suspense maybe like "Riverdale" or "Mr.Robot", sci-fi like "Roswell" or "Smallville" , and even rom-com stories

[@theacademicsociety]

I think there are more and more people going to grad school now so there could be interest in a show like that. Big Bang Theory is one that comes to mind that shows the life of academics

[@yb8524]

Stapler and umbrella

[@theacademicsociety]

For sure! So necessary!

[@madeline6414]

Highlighters, lipstick, vitamin supplements 😅🤦🤷

[@theacademicsociety]

Nice! Those are important!

[@kathyfigueroa3094]

Will there be a Grad Boss Planner for future years? I apply to grad school this year and I would love to use your planner for next year (2022) when I start :)

[@theacademicsociety]

Yes! I'm actually in the process of making it evergreen so that you can use it whenever you start! Stay tuned!

What was the first tech thing you said? Is it an app?
