So, something that I have done that has helped me manage my anxiety a bit is to have two different goals per assignment written in my planner. The first goal is a "This much has to get done by this date" goal. Bare minimum so that way I don't get swamped later. The second is a stretch goal that I can reach if I have the energy/inspiration/impulse/etc. This has helped me make sure that all of my assignments are done on time without having to worry too much about how I'm going to get a larger project done during the weekend. 

Yeah, in regard to the courses, pretty much just what @bibliophile222 said. I personally find statistics to be helpful for data and research purposes (and totally different from "normal" math), and I took an anatomy course for the biology requirement which I found relatable, but I think it's just ASHA's way of wanting us to be well-rounded.

I think subbing is a great idea! You would be doing something you enjoy, and while maybe it may not be what you enjoy the most, it will get you closer to that goal! I think trying to fit in some observations in the meantime would also be a great thing to do if you can fit them in. Can you find out if there is a speech pathologist at the school where you're student teaching? Maybe you can watch her sessions for a few hours, see what you get to see and what you think? 

(I just reread your post and WOW you are in your final semester of undergrad! You go, bro!! You're in the homestretch until graduation! That's a serious accomplishment. Even if you decide you want to change tracks a bit your life, don't forget to give yourself a GIANT pat on the back ? )

The purpose of these courses is just because ASHA requires them. ?
Actually, the main reason for the stats class is because you have to be at least a little familiar with standard deviations, a bell curve, and other statistical data that you will see on standardized speech and language assessments. While you won't have to do the calculations yourself, you at least need to know what this stuff means, and there may not be time in your grad classes to go super in-depth.
I'm not as sure why a physical science course is necessary. My guess is that it can help with some other prereqs and a basic understanding of the concepts involved, such as how physics relates to sound waves or how chemistry relates to neurotransmitters. Because it is more of a science-ish degree, I guess they want us to be well-rounded in different types of science.
I'm in my first semester of grad school and still haven't taken my physical science requirement. I'm kind of annoyed that I have to take a course that will have no real purpose, especially since I've taken the rest of the prereqs already. But such is life.
On the plus side you don't have to take a lab for the physical science, and you don't need to get a fantastic grade--just try for a C or better.

I'm in my final semester of undergrad about to start working on the edTPA and wrapping up my final student teaching placement. Literally a week left in the semester. I am hopeful to achieve certification after this. My plan was to gain some experience through subbing which can also help get some money in my pocket directly after graduation. Take a semester off weigh my options. 
I'm unsure if there is a stats or physics course I can take. I'm just wondering what the purpose of these courses are? Are these things used in speech pathology? Math has never been my strong suit and I literally took one Math class throughout my whole college experience in which I earned a C+. 
I have not observed any speech sessions in college or anything like that. But for many years of my life I was a speech student! I remember a man named Mr. Grover would pull me out of class on occasion and me and some other peers would play UNO and do worksheets and converse with him. 

I was an English and education double major and switched to speech midway through college. While I’d say both education and speech pathology are stressful careers and I still plan to work in schools, I really did want to have a more personal relationship with my students, as you’ve alluded to. I’m hoping to also get some literacy aspect into my speech sessions, but that’s up to the school and state! Anyway, my advice to you would be to make totally sure you’re changing paths for the right reasons— it’s totally okay if you’re still on the learning curve for teaching! If you’re definitely set on speech— welcome to the dark side ? Speak to admissions within your program— some schools don’t require prereqs to be taken ahead of time, especially if they are a three year program. They’re your best bet to find out what you have and what you need. How far along are you in your education major? If you’re doing EdTPA, I’d assume you’re either a senior or junior? If you’re not a senior, it could make sense to try to fit some CSD prereqs into your schedule for next semester and onward. If you are a senior, would it make sense to take some time off to take the prereq classes? Is there a physics or stats class you can take over winter break to get one more prereq done? Everything’s up to you and what makes you feel comfortable, and how long you have left in undergrad! Have you done any observations of speech sessions? Also- feel free to message me with questions or for info— I’ve been where you are! Best of luck!!

For those who got into SLP grad school programs in the Boston area... what were your GPAs & GREs like? Any volunteer or working experience you highlighted in your application?
Any advice to applying to these school?!

I thought with the orange deadline applications, as long as transcripts and LORs were submitted weeks ago, you could submit your SOP up until right before the deadline? Am I reading it incorrectly? The blue apps seem to be everything can be submitted up until the deadline, and for the green ones, everything must be submitted a month in advance. Can anyone please confirm?
From the CSDCAS website:
Blue Apps: "Applications must be submitted by 11:59 PM ET on the deadline date. Program Materials do not have to be received by the deadline date."
Orange Apps: "Application, payments, transcripts, and at least two letters of reference must be received by 11:59 PM ET on the deadline date. To ensure items arrive on time, try to send all documents several weeks before the deadline."
Green Apps: "Applications must be Verified by 11:59 PM ET on the deadline date. Applications can only be verified once all payments, transcripts, and letters of reference have been received. To ensure your application is verified on time, try to complete your application at least four weeks before the deadline."
