Action items.
Choose your own adventure 🚁
Thinking about school in the future?
Start a document (word or excel) and save it as “Future Education Opportunities”
That’s it, just create a document (you’ll add text soon enough). How does it make you feel? Excited? Anxious? Terrified? All emotions are normal and valid here! Every goal in history started as an idea, you’ve got this.
Actively applying later this year?
Write down the names of 3 or more people who would be happy to write you a GOOD letter of recommendation.
Feeling iffy about 1-2 of those? Bonus action item: Reach out to them and schedule a time to discuss your graduate school plans… to prepare them for when you ask for a good letter of recommendation.
Currently back in school?
Take a break and treat yourself to a 45-min walk outside while you’re balancing summer classes with the best weather of the year.
Fun fact.
Did you know this is what a pineapple plant looks like?
I recently learned you can grow one at home in any climate for decor.
A way more fun indoor study companion than that old snake plant.
