Another week down and only seven more to go!  The semester is flying by, which is both good and bad.  Obviously, it is good because as more and more time goes by the closer I get to my goal of receiving my master’s degree.  At the same time, as the weeks go by I realize [...]

As time progresses, and more and more of my classmates, as well as myself, start to get a little stressed out, we try to take the edge off by turning to fun activities.  This week it was appetizer night!  Since a couple of people would be unable to make it on other days of the [...]

The first few weeks went by too fast! I feel as if school just began but I am almost halfway through my first semester of graduate school! My advice about graduate school is to keep up, and if you can, get ahead! As an undergraduate your goal is to learn the information and as a [...]

Four weeks into graduate school! What a journey it has been so far! For some reason it is still hard for me to wrap my head around being a graduate student. I think it is because I am still learning new things every day about Canisius College and getting settled into my program. The last [...]
