  1. I am pursuing a professional degree but in the research option for my MSW. Since I am thinking of the Ph.D, I thought I had to publish during my master's studies.
  2. I've never seen anyone around me having a paid intership for a clinical field placement.
  3. Do students usually make their posters themselves? I'm not technology-savy if you know what I mean but I can learn!
  4. Yes, the advice seems solid. Thanks for sharing this!
  5. At the master's level, how many articles should you publish?
  6. Look, let's let this conversation die. It was not a good idea of me to open up the subject with strangers. Sorry about that.
  7. Nobody around me knows how upset I am increasingly feeling over this. I hide it very well. I did everything I am supposed to do to find someone. Everything. It's out of my control and I don't think it has something to do with something I need to change or to fix about me. I just want to find someone while staying true to myself at the same time but it feels like it complicates things for me and I cannot seem to understand why.
  8. I meet people all the time on a weekly basis and I am well appreciated in my community. And physically, I don't think I need to get in shape. And I do take time to put myself together before going out. I just don't know what is the problem. I've seen psychologists in my life in the past and they all told me that being introspective is one of my strengths. So I don't think that's the issue. I kinda am at a point where I am thinking of giving up because I just can't seem to understand, and it's incredibly frustrating. I feel so powerless over this.
  9. Thank you all for sharing your perspectives. I really appreciate. I am on my cellphone therefore cannot write lengthy responses.
  10. Yes I had adult woman telling me this when I was an early teenager. I am starting to think they were right.
  11. I am just reporting what I am constantly being told. I am just trying to make sense of why I struggle with this. You have no idea how many new people I meet on a daily basis for work, volunteer and social activities. I don't understand why I cannot seem to find someone. I'm nice, friendly and kind.
  12. I also feel the same about economics and mathematics. It isn't my strength and I never loved it. But it's indeed part of the job. However, I think there are a lot of things that you'll learn as you'll do the job and that you won't necessarily retain from sitting in a classroom.
  13. Congrats on everyone you got the scholarship!
  14. I am thinking of applying if I do a PhD. But I am uncomfortable applying because of Trump's ban and the whole current situation in the US. I feel a lot of solidarity with the people originally from the countries that are included and targetted in the ban, but also because I am non-White and am afraid of being directly affected by it. I have a lot of stories of people from Canada who have been denied access to the US recently even if they are Canadian citizens. Also, English is my second language so that would be a challenge (I currently hand in all my papers in French even if my courses are taught in English at my university). And also, I have with a health condition and even if it doesn't hinder me from working, studying, attending graduate school, etc; I'm afraid that there might be some discrimination in the selection process since they are asking for medical report of the applicant.
  15. Hello, my university provides EndNotes for free (citation manager software) and offers workshops on how to use it. But I did try and attended a workshop, and I barely remember anything from it and the program is not user friendly to me. Do you have any other citation manager software to recommend to me? I'm definetly going to need one during my master's studies.
  16. I emailed them. Also, do you have any advice in terms of getting a first article published for the first time ever ? Thanks.
  17. Hello, I have some tips. In Quebec, I've found this amazing program called Thésez-vous : http://www.thesez-vous.com/home.html?lang=en "Three days with over 20 hours of writing, workshops filled with activities to help clear your mind, as well as the opportunity to discuss with other individuals who are facing the same challenges as you. Accommodation and meals are covered, allowing you to fully focus on writing!." I intend to participate in one session when I'll be finishing my thesis. It's about 300$ but you can get subsidies for it from your university or elsewhere. Check out if there are any writing retreats in your university or similar initiatives as Thésez-vous in your community. Also, I use the app self-control since the beginning of my undergraduate studies : https://selfcontrolapp.com Basically, when I feel that I have work to do and that I am procrastinating (being on the Internet is my biggest form of procrastination), I use it. You enter the website that are distracting to you, you set up a time limit, and then these websites are blocked and you can only have access to them once the time is up. You can block them for a maximum of 24 hours. And there is no way to access the websites that you've chosen as distractive before the time is up. It's been really helpful to me to force me to work and increase my productivity.
  18. I feel so happy! I just finished my last BSW assignment. One exam left, and I am done with my bachelor's degree and heading off to the master's! Soon it will be you guys as well Good luck with your admission to the BSW!
  19. I also feel awkward putting myself in the category of successful women, but that's how I am being described by those around me.
  20. I did try to open myself to different types of relationships. I tried online dating for the last four years. Nothing came out of it. My focus is to be in a good place in my life, and I am. But I also wish I knew what it felt like to be in a healthy relationship.
  21. Do you agree when people say that successful women are intimidating to men? I've had women saying this to me since I was 13-14. Ten years later, I have never been in a relationship. What's your experience been like?
  22. Thanks for your answers! This forum is so helpful
  23. Hello, if one's from Canada and wants to study social work in the US, is there a lot of financial support from universities both in the US and in Canada?
  24. I chose this career because like many people in the helping profession, I've struggled and experienced personal difficulties. This made me a lot more empathetic and thinking about our society as a whole. I've helped myself before deciding to help others. I'm in a good place now and have been for many years. I feel like this experience make me a stronger and a more competent, understanding and helpful (future) social worker.
