I feel like it would be so cool to have all of this integrated into a journal/planner for grad students!

[@tigerchick2000]

This came at the exact right time for me! I am starting a masters degree in chemistry this fall and trying to figure out my non negotiables, reading ahead, trying practice problems, and talking to other grad students in my program. Thank you so much :D

[@EverEducating]

Yes, create an ideal routine and experiment with it until you have a routine that fits really well into your grad school life!

[@ekp9644]

Please please please do a video about the application process (tips and what to expect)! I’m going to be starting my applications in the next few months and I’m super nervous and don’t know what to expect.

I missed a term just because I'm too scared starting grad school. Thank you, Dr. Toyin! This video helps a lot.

[@Ashley-fm5hs]

I'm so happy you're here sis 💗

[@theacademicsociety]

Thank you so much! And thanks for watching!

[@mariko_v5619]

When I was in undergrad your videos made me really excited about going to graduate school. I can't believe I officially start graduate school this coming August. Thank you for creating so many videos about the graduate school process.

[@theacademicsociety]

Wooow! I love this! Since you've been watching my videos, I bet you are already ahead of the game! Congratulations on being accepted to your program! And thank you for this comment! It means a lot!

[@lauren437]

This came right on time. I need to binge your videos so I can be over prepared this Fall Good luck to all the grad students

[@timfewless971]

Moving 2000 miles to go to graduate school is very stressful! Add in the anxiety related to the actual classes and I am a wreck!

[@theacademicsociety]

Sending care your way! It's good that you are starting to think about this early! One way to calm the anxiety is to write a list of all the things you think you need to do and start tackling three of the thing from your list

[@bookwyrmneducator]

Your videos and book have prepared me so much for grad school this Fall. I'll definitely share how it goes. My advisor has been impressed so far with my prep work and mindset so thanks!

[@Mysticbladegod]

I start grad school TODAY. Glad I found this channel!

[@theacademicsociety]

Wow! So glad you found my channel too! Best wishes this semester!

[@MsReed_]

Thank you for the tips! I was so happy to see this video as I’m starting grad school this fall.

Every school does not provide syllabi ahead of time and some professors will not give them. I want to ask for the first two weeks readings instead.

[@theacademicsociety]

You're right! Most professors will not have their syllabi done before the first week of classes. I would recommend checking out the syllabus from the previous semester to manage your expectations for the class.
