Tips from Current Graduate Students
Challenges You May Face..."I've got a 10 page paper due, an experiment to complete in the lab, and I volunteered to help with a Blood Drive this weekend. How am I going to get it all done?" (Feeling Overwhelmed)
"My professor gave me an extension on a paper, but it is going to cost me one full grade point on the paper. If I submit a 4.0 paper, that means I will actually get a 3.0 on the assignment!" (Falling Behind)

How To Navigate Challenges...If you're involved in too many groups or activities, try cutting back on the number of events you attend.
Consider not being an active member of many organizations and concentrate your free time on only the tasks that matter most!
