Apparently grad school is NOTHING like undergrad…

I asked the grad students in my community what they wish they had known about grad school before they started.

Here’s what they wish they knew:

• All the coffee is not necessarily the right amount of coffee.

• The transition from undergrad to grad school along with time management is harder than you think it will be.

• Imposter syndrome will make you think you are the only one struggling.

• More people struggle with imposter syndrome than you know.

• You are not alone.

• Burnout hits hard.

• You will not have the structure you had in undergrad.

• It will take initiative to get things done.

• Your time management skills will be greatly challenged.

• Being compatible with your advisor is of utmost importance.

#GRADBOSS is the grad school survival guide that you wish you had before you started grad school. But it’s also for current grad students. The book is jam-packed with practical tips, truths, and templates that can be implemented RIGHT NOW.

The best news?

The topics inside of the book were suggested by current grad students!

I asked my community of grad students what they thought a grad school survival guide should include. And I wrote about exactly what they recommended.

So, wait. What’s inside #GRADBOSS?

I’m so glad you asked!

That’s exactly how I survived grad school. I’m Toyin, the founder of The Academic Society and author of #GRADBOSS.

I actually had a great experience in grad school! But I know that’s not the case for most grad students. And I think that sucks.

So I wrote this book as a part of the effort to make grad school less soul-sucking and anxiety-inducing.

Everything that I share in the book are tips that I actually used/followed as a grad student and even now in my life as a full time academic.

Are you ready for your entire grad school life to change?
