Right now I am right smack in the middle of writing my dissertation proposal. Talk to any graduate student at this phase of the process and they will groan in recognition of the long slog it seems to be. At this point in my writing I have successfully organized my closets and my bathrooms have never been so clean.  In spite of all this, I'm still managing to eke out a few pages a day and, slowly but surely, I am getting there.

We are proud to reveal some GradHacker swag! The gear celebrates nearly two years of building a community that shares advice and insights on how to 'hack' grad school.  We have created water bottles, shirts, stickers, and pens that our authors and friends will be spreading at campuses and conferences.
