  1. 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?
  2. 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?
  3. 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?
  4. 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.
  5. I'm also heading to McGill this fall.
  6. I have accepted by admission offer from McGill. If I get the scholarship through another university, can I transfer it to McGill?
  7. 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.
  8. I am grateful. It's precisely because I am grateful that I am considering moving out...
  9. TY! But I'm sure I won,t get it, my grades were too borderline But I applied anyway.
  10. Hello, what are the best systematic reviews websites for social sciences? The only one I know is Campbell Collaboration. TY!
  11. What do you mean?
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. I would say, give it a try even if you are unsure. You never know.
  16. 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.
  17. That's my hometown. If you guys have any questions, just let me know.
  18. 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.
  19. 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?
  20. 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).
  21. 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.
  22. Everytime I ask an interesting man out, turns out they are married with children
  23. 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.
  24. 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...
