@becomingdrwhitmore: The amount of abbreviations I had to learn in the first two weeks😂#becomingdrwhitmore #blackphdstudents #futurepsychologist #gradstudent #backtoschool

Stevo :

I walked at graduation on Friday and Prof told me to be in the lab on Monday😐

gage_314 :

I’m mid application process for History PhD programs and my whole three years of undergraduate history courses has conditioned me to expect a 5 minute syllabus day and jump straight into 100 pages of reading

Wendy| PhD Student :

Me lmao!! So far it’s been good not gonna lie. 🫢😂

t v :

Pleaseeee give tips!!! I’m trying to go from undergrad straight to a 6 year PhD and I’m an international student so American academia seems so scary to me!

Igen | PhD life :

Me on the first day 🤣🤣😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Lala :

Girl, I came from undergrad and was immediately put onto an SLD project (my background is ASD) and all these new acronyms?? AAD? RTI? XBA? I felt like dead weight for MONTHS

🤍 🌸 Coffee with Cue 🌸🤍 :

me litterally my first 4 years.

missing.link1 :

This is why more people should be doing masters before jumping to a PhD 👀

Stacie :

It’s like learning a new language this is so real! You’ll get the hang of it soon enough, you got this 💪🏼

Isaiah :

I’m in my senior year of my psych BS and I’m so nervous about applying to PhD programs😩😩 idk how yall did it

courtney :

Hi! I am applying to school psych programs right out of undergrad and would love to know what program you applied to and how you are feeling so far!

emily💫 :

Girl same 😭😭😭

Autumndavis1 :

They did the syllabus during orientation because they needed us to do readings and have summaries done for discussion by the first class 🥲🥲🥺🥺🫠🫠🫠

Macha :

and that's why I waited. lol I was told not to because usually people don't come back. but I'm glad I did. still was a shock though.

Sam Poage :

Only the first semester or two are like that, the classes slow down a lot. Depending on the program sometimes it is not even bad at the very start

Brienna Lee348 :

3 day weekend between undergrad and PhD - 0/10 do not recommend

Eva :

Omg so accurate 😂

SmallieBigz :

yeah, that sht be unreasonable 😅

Emily :

I’m an MA in a year two course. Prof welcomed us back to the university but mentioned any PhD students would be first years so just a regular welcome. I do not envy anyone taking this course without graduate level background on the material, PhDs seem wild

Llaran | Travel Creator ✈️ :

Lololol real

PETER( Do what’s best for you) :

charlie 📚🏳️‍🌈 :

MIRROR MIRROR ON THE AMERICAN WALL🤗🤗🤗 WAIT A MINUTE🤨🤨🤨 Did you NOT read the job description, BEFORE you entered the program🤔🤔🤔 You were supposed to go in KNOWING that everyday is LEG day! That everyday, you choose HARD! Why are so many students unprepared for HUSTLE🤨🤨🤨 Ladies! Gentlemen! Institutions of Higher Education is HARD WORK🤭🤭🤭 THIS is not easy🤔 Play out here in these waters and they will replace you, before you take your last gasp of air and they WILL have the repass on the fish that feed off of your corpse. Fresh sushi paired with a good red, is perfection🤭🤭🤭 Other than that….GOOD LUCK😉😉😉 WE ARE ROOTING FOR YOU🤗🤗🤗 Now, these are just mere suggestions, because we don’t tell grown folk what to do🤗🤗🤗
