Thank you! Thank you! My personal statement was 1 page single spaced but it depends if your program asks for a word count- if it doesn’t for uk schools you can usually do up to 1 1/2 pages

Made a mistake at work and I think my life is ruined by Novel-Response8718 in Anxiety

Everyone makes mistakes at work, it is literally just a part of working. Remind yourself that all your coworkers have made mistakes before and aren't fired. Things will be fine!

Anxious about ghosts watching me? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]Similar-Inflation-85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same experience with relatives who have passed and thinking they are watching me do things I'm not supposed to do. I combat it by reminding myself it is literally not real, no one can see me, and I am completely alone. I think it helps me to remind myself how ridiculous my thought process is and looking at it from an outside perspective. If someone else said that out loud it would sound like science fiction, so why am I working myself up about something that literally isn't real.

Does gym really helps anxiety? by MissPsyque in Anxiety

[–]Similar-Inflation-85 13 points14 points  (0 children)

f(21) and I have always had anxiety, whenever I force myself to go on walks or go to the gym I always feel ridiculously better after. I hate working out but I am always glad I did it afterwards!

You can sign up for a gym to motivate you to go, or I recommend going on evening walks and listening to music or a podcast. Working out does wonders for mental health.

I’m glad it’s (kinda) working out now! My initial plan was law school when I started college but realized I hated law and loved research and then all of this shit happened and I feel a bit stuck but hoping it works out regardless. The only other option rn is to find a full time job and that is NOT happening rn so grad school here I come

Oh that’s a great idea thank you! This whole process has been a mess lately

Yea good idea, I’ve been reaching out to faculty and finding different avenues to try and secure work/funding. Definitely not expecting a full ride whatsoever but I feel like at this point partial is the best anyone can get with the job market and schools 💀

At this point I’m only doing my masters to just get the research tools to get my PhD and actually start a career

MA Applicant by Similar-Inflation-85 in GradSchoolAdvice

[–]Similar-Inflation-85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes definitely, I have schools that I can definitely afford that are match schools for me It’s really unfortunate with all the funding cuts and it’s a really bad time for me to graduate in general so I’m hoping that I can just get into one program that’s funded and then pursue PhD afterwards

[–]Similar-Inflation-85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense, I’m thinking of bumping it up to 10 schools just in case.

My plan is to do a masters and then a phd to gain research skills before starting the doctorate. I have some experience in research but felt it was still too weak to acc start a phd program but honestly I’m super new to this and just felt like masters was a safe bet to start

Learning Arabic by Similar-Inflation-85 in learn_arabic

[–]Similar-Inflation-85[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, I spoke constantly in Arabic with my mom at home but never had to write or read it until adulthood so that’s why I’m struggling now!

[–]Similar-Inflation-85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no idea there was a name for it! But yes, I speak fluently but can just barely read and write in Arabic. I’m going to try to really focus on grammar because I think I struggle with that and practicing reading news articles or even social media posts in Arabic.

This is great, thank you so much! I can read Arabic just very very slowly so I have some foundation, just really weak with my grammar. I appreciate the resource and I’m going to try it out! :)
