    Here in the DMV, we are lucky because we do get to see the leaves change and for someone who grew up down in the low country of Georgia鈥檚 coast line, this has been an amazing sight to behold. My favorite time to hike through the many national and state parks we have in the region is the fall, and I bet you can guess why: the fall foliage!

    It is now fall and I still enjoy getting outdoors and the perk of the DMV is that you get to enjoy the fall leaves, a thing I never got in GA.

    Oftentimes, as graduate students, we feel the need to continue as if everything is fine, or that taking time to destress will take away from time that we could spend completing another assignment. In actuality, not being aware and recognizing that you need and deserve a break could negatively influence both your health and academic studies.

    With Zotero, you can upload your library of research articles, as I did, or you can add them in via DOI, ISBN, ISSN, and so on, and you can even add in sources manually. From there, you can sort your sources by folder (such as a folder for each research project, one for each class, or one for each topic) and add in 鈥榯ags鈥 to make finding information easier.

    As a result of this large and dynamic community, it can be somewhat challenging to connect with others. You may wonder how to find connections and build relationships with those around you. I was one of those people, lost in the hustle and bustle of grad life.

    We need to nap, too! During graduate school, when we are trying to balance the multiple demands of school, work, and personal lives, it can be tempting to think of sleep as an optional activity (instead of an essential biological function), just to squeeze a little more reading, writing, or lab work in. In actuality, consistent, sound sleep can be a key to success in grad school.
