Case study for child psych and criminal minds marathon this Sunday! Trying to stay motivated and get some of these assignments done so they don’t pile up at the end of the semester. Almost done!

I got a new planner called the High Performance Planner and it’s been super helpful in planning my days and increasing my mindfulness! It helps you set goals for the day and allows you to check in in the morning and the evening to see if you met your daily goals! Would 100% recommend if you’re looking for something to keep you on track!

I’ve really been struggling this semester with turning assignments in on time. Today’s assignment is an intake report and I’m pretty nervous about it. Hopefully it goes well and I can spend the weekend finishing my midterm and enjoy spring break next week.

Grinding to finish this PowerPoint by tonight. School is really picking up and the next week is going to be incredibly busy and I’m not sure how I’ll manage. Next week is spring break so hopefully I’ll get a breather then!

Hii!

I'm an undergrad psych student that dreams to be where you are in the future (studying clinical psych)!

I'm striving to be a psychologist but I've heard how competitive it is. As someone who is in postgrad, I was wondering if you'd be okay giving some advice, what scores you had to get in ungrads and honours, what volunteering you maybe did and how postgrad life is!!

♡

Hey! It’s so awesome that you want to go into clinical psych!

I went to a pretty competitive university for undergrad and majored in Psychology with a minor in Disability studies. I ended up with a 3.8 major and overall GPA and graduated Magna Cum Laude. I worked as a FWS student on a clinical trial that focused on helping people with intellectual disabilities access mental health care as well as some odd jobs here and there. I also volunteered at my state department of mental health during the summers while I was home from school and with the National Counsel for Mental Wellbeing as a state captain for Hill Day.

I applied to a small college in my hometown for Postgrad because I wanted the small college feel and it is a really reputable program whose grads see a lot of success. I got in and I absolutely love it. The program has wonderful professors and they are really focused on graduating strong therapists. I will be a masters level Licensed Professional Counselor when I graduate in May 2025.

My advice for you is to find a place to volunteer at that will get you some good hours and face time with the right people. You don’t have to always be doing psychology related things with them. When I volunteered for DMH, I helped with their mental health conference and with Santa’s helpers which purchased presents for kids of patients at the center. I wasn’t always doing psychology stuff but I made some really strong connections and they wrote me excellent letters of recommendation. I wish I had gotten more acquainted with my professors in undergrad but it was hard because I went to such a large school. Find the people who value you and your work and they will give back by writing you glowing recommendations which go a long way in the application process. The more you volunteer and get experience, the more you’ll have to write about in your admissions essay, which I think carried me through the process.

Post grad is hard but it’s focused on what you love and is training you for your dream career. It’s worth every minute. Get as much experience as you can, clinical or not, so you make those connections and get to know people who have influence in different areas. Keep doing what you’re doing! We need people like you in our field! Hope this helps!

Since I have some new followers on here, I figured I should reintroduce myself!

My name is Annsley and I am 24! I work as a registered behavior technician for kiddos with autism during the day, and attend classes at night for my masters in Clinical Counseling! I have just crossed the halfway point in my program and am now in advanced classes preparing for practicum and internship. I am training to be a Licensed Professional Counselor and I am hoping to graduate in May 2025!

This blog helps keep me accountable to study and work hard. I have Bipolar II and ADHD, which make it hard to study sometimes. I love what I do but my brain doesn’t always work the way I’d like it to. I want to encourage a conversation about mental health and prove that it is possible to obtain higher education even with mental health challenges and neurodivergencies. It’s not always easy, but it is possible!

My inbox is always open if you have questions for me (I am not going to provide therapy or address any sensitive topics as I am not licensed and this is not the platform for that) but if you have questions about me, grad school, or living with Bipolar and ADHD, shoot me a message!

Very late start to the day but I’m giving myself credit for getting up and going anyway. Finishing up the case conceptualization and starting a lesson on OCD that’s due in a few weeks!

Welcome back to spring semester! I had a much needed 6 week break from school and I have my first 2 classes of the semester tonight! Coffee was a must after a long day at work but I’m ready to get the semester rolling. Did you have a good holiday break?
