Keep showing up. Graduate studies are not built in one big leap—they’re built day by day, through consistent effort, small wins, and learning from mistakes

Arabela’s Answer

Hello Katie :)
All the stages of our life are very different and new. I believe the beautiful thing about this is that they are stages you will only live once in your lifetime, and because of that, I think we should enjoy each one of them, as they won’t come back. Loving each stage and enjoying it is a gift of life. Embrace all these changes that are coming."

Karla’s Answer

Transitioning from college to graduate school can feel like a big step. Graduate school is less about memorizing information and more about thinking independently, managing your own time, and building relationships with mentors.
Success depends much more on how well you can prioritize, ask good questions, and take ownership of your learning journey — not just following assignments.

Also, it's important to know that imposter syndrome is normal — most people feel it at some point, but it doesn’t mean you don’t belong there.

Gabrielle’s Answer

Congrats on your upcoming transition. The primary advice I wish I would have had is to build meaningful connections and do an internship. Internships will help get you in the door of your intended profession and your network will help propel you even further. Be intentional about the people you connect with and be intentional about your time. Make the most out of this chapter of your life to set yourself up for success in the future. Hope this helps and congrats again!
