Let’s be honest, grad school is tough. It doesn’t matter what program you’re in, the workload will seem impossible at times. Even during breaks, you’ll most likely be doing work. While in high school you’re able to just stay home for a week and enjoy things like Thanksgiving and Spring break, but in grad school …
I’ve found that in graduate school, time management and organization is everything. Back-to-back interviews, professor’s office hours, class, assignments, guest speakers.

This time of relaxation has given me the chance to reflect on some of the highlights during my one year master’s program building Doodle the News. As I have mentioned before, I have the …
I told you all that the first portion of my capstone after graduating was to be back at Newhouse for 6 weeks. We just finished our second week of “class” — I say that lightly because it’s class, but it’s not really class. Here is a rundown of how the week goes: Monday: Newscast Tuesday: …
