I am hijacking this thread because I sensibly have the same concerns as OP. I am going to meet with my supervisor this summer, should I make some sort of list of my expectations during my master's studies and then discuss it with her?

Hello, I read that graduate studies can be very solitary and difficult emotionally by nature. Also, its very competitive nature can be hard to manage. I know for myself that I am an over-achiever and that I can be prone to depression due to that. I just wanted to know, what are your tips to take care of your mental health and well-being throughout your studies?

There are all these really important talks, guess lectures, conferences, etc at university and I feel guilty because I have zero time nor the energy to attend most of them. I would brun out if I did because I'm already sitting on so many commitees, but I still feel guilty. Anyone feeling the same?

Hello, I had a horrible field placement last term in a hospital setting. My supervisor was not very supportive, I felt judged by her and her colleagues. I am in a new placement now, in a community org., but I realize that the first bad experience has shaken my trust in my ability to be a clinical social worker. I take a lot less initiatives even though I do have work experience in the field of social work prior to these field placements.

First Poster Presentation - a few questions

Amazing! Thanks to both of you! -
I'm also heading to McGill this fall.

What are my chances to get CGS M at this point?
Adelaide9216 replied to Adelaide9216's topic in Applications
I have accepted by admission offer from McGill. If I get the scholarship through another university, can I transfer it to McGill? -
Moving out of parents' place in the same city

Thanks everyone! I am just waiting to see what job I am getting this summer and the work conditions to see if I can do it. -
Moving out of parents' place in the same city
Adelaide9216 replied to Adelaide9216's topic in Officially Grads
I am grateful. It's precisely because I am grateful that I am considering moving out... -
TY! But I'm sure I won,t get it, my grades were too borderline But I applied anyway.

Hello, what are the best systematic reviews websites for social sciences? The only one I know is Campbell Collaboration. TY!

OMG. I love this thread. I am the first one in my nuclear family who will have a university degree. I've often felt throughout university that I was "late" in my knowledge in comparision to my peers who had parents who had attended university. I often felt like an imposteur too. I also come from a low income background (my mother is a single mom, stay-at-home mother, and I have four younger siblings, my father is still around but has two jobs to pay the bills.) My parents are both immigrants.

Yes, I love ambitious and motivated men. But I have zero luck in my romantic life. Everytime I think of asking a man out, turns out they are married with children. Every. single. time.
-
Thank you. I applied anyways because I am "borderline" in terms of the eligibility criteria but I am sure I won't get the scholarship. At least I tried.

Hello! Can I go to the grad school? Do I have a chance?
Adelaide9216 replied to ohmy_Q's question in Questions and Answers
I would say, give it a try even if you are unsure. You never know. -
I guess it depends. In social work, we've been told many times that students who have no or limited knowledge of French would really struggle to find a field placement and a job in Montreal/Quebec. Maybe it's just the nature of the work (helping relationship). I would say, if you are willing to learn French, do it, you've got nothing to lose, but I would say that learning French would definetly be a plus if you want to remain in Quebec.

That's my hometown. If you guys have any questions, just let me know.

I have so much stuff to do by the end of this semester and now, I am not being productive tonight. And I feel guilty for it.

First Poster Presentation - a few questions
Adelaide9216 replied to beefgallo's topic in Writing, Presenting and Publishing
Thanks everyone for your advice. For the 6 basic questions, what are they usually? I have no access to the grading rubric at this moment. Will I come off as weird if I ask it to the organizers? -
Anyone else feels a bit anxious about the end of their studying career? I guess that's (one) of the many reasons why I decided to go into grad school. Having no boyfriend and no children, I just wouldn't see myself working full-time at this moment (even if I could have started working full-time with a bachelor's degree).
-
Hello, that is not what I am saying. I wouldn't lower my standards just to be with "anybody" at any price. That's just not me. I prefer being alone than being with someone that does not fufill me.

Everytime I ask an interesting man out, turns out they are married with children
-
I've tried so many dating websites considering that for some reason (apparently because I am ambitious and that intimidates men) I never get any invites for dates from people I actually see regularly. I've been many dates to the point where I've stopped counting them. And none of them worked out in the end. I'm so discouraged. tbh, I cry often when I think of all the horrible failures I've experienced in my dating/romantic life.

I feel exactly the same. I am really busy and don't really have time and space for a bf although I'd want to. And yes, all of my friends are getting engaged/married having babies or are in long-term relationships...
