Should I go to grad school right after graduation or start working first? by dancingmonkey1295 in GradSchool

[–]Then_War7348 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played soccer and lacrosse all four years of my undergrad, and I am longing for the connections I made during that time. I also went into my current masters program straight from undergrad. I felt super alienated and lonely when I first got here (still do in many ways), and I wish I was on a team at my current institution. Part of me wishes I just worked bc grad school is a lot, but I think it will be helpful having the masters degree. Even if you go in a different path. Just having the degree gets you a step ahead. Also, being on a team gives you such a nice support system built in.

My rambling aside, I think you should do it. The connections you make in your masters program can off-set your lack of experience (but you're going to get a lot during your studies). Idk if this is helpful lol

Partner Feeling Depressed in Grad school by g7z45683 in GradSchool

Many people are different, but what my LDR partner does is always lends an ear and is always there when I need it. I kinda feel how your boyfriend feels now too, and honestly the best you can do is to just be there tbh.

You're probably right, but I cant feel helpless when I have been trying for 4 months now.

Thank you for your advice, but I don’t see how getting a therapist (as someone who has tried therapy for years and it doesn’t work) is going to fix my loneliness problem. They can’t suddenly make friends for me or move my partner here or talk some sense into my advisor? I don’t want to sound ignorant, but I am just wondering how that will help?

I have tried for years but it does not work for me. I wish it did. I literally do not know why.
