Need Advice? Try Helium, Associated Content

Summer is just around the corner (including Father's Day)! Graduate applications are behind me, and I am looking forward to starting at the University of Michigan this fall. If you are interested in applying to graduate school, but are unsure of why you should pursue an advanced degree, read content review sites such as Helium and Associated Content. Readers across the world post their input (with examples and explanations) on why you should pursue an advanced degree (master's, doctoral, etc.). The quick access to such a variety of advices and perspectives really helped me narrow down my academic and professional interests. You may discover that your fears and concerns about the admissions process are very minor.

U.S. News: 15 Habits of Top College Students

U.S. News and World Report has another article about fifteen habits that make top college students successful in their academics. Although this list is geared more towards high school and current undergraduate students, I believe this advice also applies to prospective and current graduate students. If you're wondering how to get back into school mode, check out the 15 traits. Overall, every graduate student should have good time management and organizational skills. Focus on the end goal (graduate degree) and look out for yourself (this includes emotional and physical well-being).
