Let's discuss what makes grad school so difficult and ways to make it much easier. We will explore why grad school is hard and strategies to help make it better!
Before I got into grad school, I was always wondering what makes grad school hard, why was grad school difficult and does grad school HAVE to be so hard?! Now after 3 years as a PhD student at UCLA, I have definitely discovered what are some major things that make grad school hard, and it's not always about the academics. In this video I bring up both the academic and non-academic realities of a graduate program that makes your academic process feel difficult, but I am also hoping to share some solutions and strategies to bring some ease into your grad school process. Maybe getting a PhD is difficult, but it DOESN’T have to be so hard!! Hopefully this advice can help you have a better grad experience!
