If anyone cares, I started yesterday and spent a few hours just reading over certain articles. That proved to be in vain though, as nothing came of it. But today I've developed some kind of 'idea' or thesis on a different subject that I'm pursuing. I've actually had it for quite some time but have been unable to meaningfully articulate it. Its still in the germination stages but I expect it to blossom as I swarm myself in research materials from the library.
Hi, I'm 18. I'm not in college yet but I've decided that I'm very probably going to grad school and there's a chance I will be a PhD. I'm aiming at the best school I can possibly get...
So I need some advice. What can I do to best position myself at this current moment in time? I'm ahead of my age and read quite a bit. I read academic journals and scholarly works. At this point, I totally understand academic journal content when I read it, but my problem is understanding how to write one myself. I was thinking of trying to get published, I might need to get a book about publishing before I try though. Basically, if you were 18, what could you have best done or wish you had done to prepare yourself for grad school and beyond?
P.S. i'm interested in the liberal arts, particularly english, philosophy, and psychoanalysis. Thanks for any reply.
