career. Youremotional health might not be as straightforward to manage. Graduate school has emotional highs(e.g. success in research, accepted papers) emotional lows (e.g. rejected papers, failed tests) andstress. I learned that my emotional health is not something I could ignore. Taking time foryourself is important during your graduate school career. The last lesson of the paper is aboutsetting goals and finding opportunities to achieve your goals. A common goal for earning yourdoctorate should be preparing you for your career in either academia or industry.My BackgroundI am currently a Visiting Assistant Professor at Kettering University and I defended mydissertation on April 1, 2016, about 31.5 months after starting my Ph.D. in Systems
