I have started blogging for the Student Affairs collective!
This collective is amass with some of the brightest minds in Student Affairs and I am eager to continue writing with and for them!
My first article was posted last week and I have loved the response it has received.
Just giving some of my tips on how to survive the first year of #SAGrad!
Here are a few snippets of the piece:
"4. Be a Devil’s Advocate.
Diversity of thought is important both in work and in the classroom setting with your cohort. Ask questions. Ask for clarifications. Be curious. You don’t need to agree with everything everyone says. That’s totally okay. An essential part of the learning process is seeing the other side of the coin.
Being constructive with your learning begins with being comfortable enough to question. I feel some of the biggest learning moments this year came when people in my cohort challenged each other. We never took things personally because we understand that we are all here to learn. Challenging each other is necessary for growth."
"9. GET OUT!
Getting your work done is important.
Getting some fresh air is also important. So get out!
This doesn’t only apply to going outside—which you obviously should do—but go on adventures. Concerts, hikes, sporting events—anything! Even if for only a day or night.
Explore—this especially applies to anyone going to grad school away from their home.
Leave your campus and be active.
Sometimes you need to just get your mind off your work and enjoy yourself for a few hours!"

I will be back this week with a brand new blog post!
Be well!
