I've started thinking about my future -- which, as many of you probably know, is the perfect way to send yourself into a spiral of despair in the middle of midterms. To try and combat this fear of my future I popped by Hart House to check out the Grad School Fair on October 2nd. It felt really strange being there because I felt like I had just been there during UofT's fall open house during grade 12 \u2014 even though that was a full three years ago (!!! is this what getting old feels like?). As a third year its still a bit early to be thinking about grad school (or maybe its really late, maybe all the other third years already know where they\u2019ll be going) but I\u2019m generally a very keen person and to have a set\u00a05-year plan at all times.\r\n\r\n\"picture\"universityThere was a decent selection of schools at the Grad School Fair, although not really any of the big American or British universities that I\u2019ve been looking at. U of T was out in full force of course and the Museum Studies program caught my eye as a potential program.\"bannerBeing there made me realize that I'm not exactly sure what I want to study? Do I just want to do a MA and then a PhD. in history? Do I want to do Material Culture or Museum Studies? Can I even get a job with any of these?\u00a0\"person\r\n\r\nThese questions sparked google searches like so\"google<\/a>\u00a0with pretty expected\u00a0results\"screenshot\r\n\r\nI still don't really know what I want to do or where I want to do it but the Grad School Fair helped me get thinking about it (plus the Career Centre<\/a> has a whole host of resources that are going to be very helpful) and it doesn't seem quite as scary as before (although the price tags are still terrifying).\u00a0\"table<\/a>\r\n\r\nAny forth years (or third) out there with Grad School advice for me? Anyone feeling super nervous about the whole applying-to-schools process again? Let me know in the comments below!\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
