As a lot of you might realize from the content of some of our posts lately, we are graduating this month! We couldn’t be more excited to finally be doctors and start our careers in post-docs in the fall. Grad school has truly been an incredible journey. There were highs and lows, we were at our best and at our worst. Running this site got us through some of the not so fun parts - the late nights, the long hours, the difficult cases, the seemingly constant anxiety, the let-me-question-all-of-my-life-decisions-that-led-me-here moments. It helped us laugh at ourselves and remind us (and hopefully all of you, too) why we’re doing this, why it’s been so worth it, and why we can’t imagine having taken any other path. This site has also helped us personally make sense of so many of the social injustices that have occurred during the past five years.

As we shift from students to real-life psychologists, we realize that it’s become more difficult to prioritize the site. There are days now where we don’t even go on our laptops at home (we couldn’t have ever imagined that as a possibility a few years ago!). Plus, without the stresses of grad school to inspire us, what’s there to post? So, while we are so sad to say goodbye, we are officially retiring CBGS. Thanks to everyone for reading, liking, reposting, submitting, and being part of this with us. We really couldn’t have and wouldn’t have maintained this site if it weren’t for you! Thank you!! <3

Hello!  So I’m only a couple of months into my studyblr-ish sideblog, but so far I’m having a lot of fun!  I still have a lot of work to do in terms of figuring out my own style, but I figure all good things come to those who wait.  

Anyway, I decided to make a master list of all sorts of blogs that I find help motivate me.  I’ve divided them according to subject, since I do realize that I post a rather interesting conglomeration of field interests.  

Not all of these are studyblrs, some are just education themed or satirical school blogs (because who doesn’t love poking fun at your course load?).  Anyway, I chose these blogs because they really seem to help me find motivation to continue studying.  All of these blogs seem to be cream of the crop and are currently active!  Thank you so much for being so awesome!
