Things you want/needed for grad school

[AVSchilling1995]

Hey everyone 

What are some things you wish you had in grad school or are thankful that you currently have? 

Just trying to get ready like everyone else!

Great idea for post!  I have my list of "office" supplies ready, but all I really want is a DESK.  I just started in May and have basically taken over my family's kitchen table.  I need my own space.   Glad to have a fairly new laptop, comfy headphones for my online classes, and plenty of printer ink and paper to print out lecture slides.  And I love my backpack.  ?

The number one thing that I appreciated having during grad school is Google Drive. I'd recommend organizing by classes as well as making folders for topic areas for resources. It's amazing to be at an externship and be able to pull up all of your materials. Also, when a computer died on me during grad school--no problem. I had everything organized and backed up already.

I love my dry erase board. My friend got a me a bunch of items that she wished she'd had in grad school and that was one of my favorites. I used it a lot when practicing transcription in my speech sound disorders class. Very helpful!

Yes! I do this and it was SO helpful when I had to do a partner project with my partner who is 7 hours away from me! I made a joint filter on google drive with her and we used it to make our notes and script for our “podcast” episode for cultural and linguistic diversity class.
