Hi, Carter! I work full-time and I'm taking one grad class per semester. Since I'm also a parent to a 21-month-old, I tend to allot time Mondays to Thursdays in the evening to my schoolwork (7 to 9 pm) after she goes to bed. I'm not a morning person and want my weekends to be about family time and relaxing time, so that's what works for me! Best of luck to you in your studies!

I really appreciate the emphasis on keeping a balance. I graduated from my master’s degree last year (full-time) while also being a full-time teacher and it was the worst decision ever. I didn’t have time to be fully present in both because I felt that I had to take all the opportunities at once. I developed anxiety and I’m finally finding a good balance albeit the whole in-person/remote learning for elementary students is still taxing. Good luck with your new adventure! Thanks for bringing us along ☺️

I just started studying for a professional certification and I haven’t been in college since 2020 and I forgot how much I LOVE learning and studying and bettering myself !!!

Gonna start grad school in the fall and this video is gonna be an inspiration to how I'm gonna romanticize my academic routine.

Not Grad school, but I am doing courses online and constantly finding new courses today just because I like to be learning. I used to do course work for an hour before work in the morning, and when I realised that wasn't working for me I started doing an hour after work 2 days a week (I work Monday to Saturday 8am-6pm) and then 2 hours on Sundays, and I feel like 4 hours a week is enough for me to stay on track but also get some time in for me. I took a holiday from work this week to focus on my courses, and by doing only 2 hours a day on 3 days, I have completed 2.5 assignments for my current course so I am even working ahead of schedule which feels awesome.

Congrats on your first day! Thank you so much for emphasizing the importance of balance and rest. It's easy to get caught up in productivity and burn out. I am in a Master's program and working full-time. It's definitely a juggling act! What I've done is dedicated 2 hours per weekday to school (after I'm off work) and four hours per weekend day to school. If I want to, and am capable of, working above and beyond that, I do. This helps me give permission to myself to rest instead of cramming my weekends full and resenting my schedule.

GRAD school! Little bit of everything! Carter you are awesome!!! So happy for you! My new semester starts on 1/31! Ekk I’m going to school for all my pre-reqs and hopefully applying to the nursing program in December. But this video is so motivating! I also am struggling with routines, haha I work 8-4:30 as well and also school! So I can’t wait too see what your routine looks like. Stella looks like she’s better her whittle brown eye ♥️♥️♥️

Good luck with grad school!! It’s so fun seeing you go after what you want and still take time to take care of yourself as you do it!

Congrats on starting your grad school. As a college student myself, I find myself falling into needing to be productive 24/7 as well. Especially balancing school full time, work and attempting to start content creation. You have always been one of my biggest inspirations, all the way back to the barn vlogs. I love your day in the life content the best, showing the balance of all aspects of everything. I find myself struggling to wind down and practice self-care, thank you for talking about it and always being the voice of reason for me when I cant even see I am overworking myself. I hope you have a great rest of your day Carter!

I actually really like watching your videos especially when you show your current reads! I’m actually really enjoying the maid book myself too.

Looove the calender!

Seeing you prep makes me wanna go back to school 🙈

I graduated grad school July 2021 and I worked full-time traveling 40+ minutes to work and my husband and I just gotten a dog 🤣 so I did about an hour Monday through Friday after work for my masters program. And then on Saturdays I would spend about 4 to 6 hours in on Sunday I would spend one to two hours prepping for the week I took two classes per session and they were two sessions per semester so I was teaching four classes a semester. I started my program August 2020 and then like I mentioned graduated July 20 21 doing 3 semesters.

[sarahmarie]

i love the full week in you life videos

[mabelnuts]

I’m in my second semester of grad school (getting my MPH online!) 😊 just subscribed—love your content!

[lalu]

So excited for you. I have my associates in Health Information Management and my RHIT cert and I loved getting my degree. I am planning on finishing up my undergrad in healthcare management and getting my RHIA but I am saving up because I refuse student loans. Good Luck!

Congrats on your first day! Starting grad school/programs is so exciting! I got my MBA in May 2020 and worked full time throughout. Find what routine works for you. For me, I worked 7:30-3:30 and had class 6-8:30 every night. Just setting a little time aside every day worked best so I could enjoy the weekends and watch tv shows at night. I usually spent 2-3 hours on the weekend at a coffee shop working on projects (pre pandemic) but getting some movement in was always a great break too.
Take it day by day, but you got this!
