I recently got an email, asking about how to best prepare for SLP graduate school. I thought it was a great question and thought I’d share some of my advice in a post! 1) My best and primary advice isn’t very helpful, but do NOTHING. Rest your brain. Enjoy your summer. Spend time with those […]

Lately, I’ve been thinking about the funny things my friends and I do now that we are in the thick of graduate school.

So really, take a break from all that stress and insanity and laugh over how strange […]
