Tips of the week (Bree-isms): *Think of grad school like a job. *Your self-worth is not based on grades, publications, tests, etc. *Don’t fear failure. Failure is simply how you learn. *Remember to say “yes and” to challenges you face as a grad student. * Self-care is a regimen that is different for everyone.
