Jeremy Flick is native of Indianapolis, IN. He currently holds a B.A. in English with a concentration in Creative Writing and is studying for his Master\u2019s in Creative Writing at Ball State University. In his free time he writes poetry and prose, gets into shenanigans\u00a0with his dog, Fenway, and occasionally performs music. He recently released an album titled \u201cJournal Entries\u201d under the name Your Silent Modern War. You can visit his website<\/a> to learn more.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\n

In my final spring semester at Ball State, before the air became toxic from the dogwood trees near the Atrium, I was over college. The sleepless nights and the mountains of reading were something I had been looking forward to leaving behind.\u00a0My mighty keyboard had vanquished all of the research papers lurking in the shadows,\u00a0and the hefty textbooks could find new homes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Jeremy<\/span><\/p>\n

I had finally made it. I graduated with a Bachelor\u2019s degree in English\u2014not something I had anticipated when I was eighteen years old\u2014and I was ready to take on the world. At that time I worked for Target and was hopeful to find another job with my\u00a0shiny, new degree that would prove to employers I was worthy enough to work for them. However, throughout all of my searching, I found no such position\u2014I beat myself up for not using the Career Center<\/a> when it was available to me<\/strong>\u2014and continued my work as a nonthreatening security guard at a Target in Indianapolis. The job was not stimulating and the hours were less than desirable, but I made enough to live on my own comfortably.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At some point, catching \u201cbad guys\u201d became less exhilarating and dealing with management was more of a hassle, always demeaning and an insult to my intelligence. It was around that time I visited my friends at the ol\u2019 alma matter and set up an appointment with Mark Neely to discuss graduate school opportunities. It seemed like it would be the only option to find my way into a better job that I actually enjoyed. I was mostly looking forward to the meeting to catch up with Mark and maybe get an idea of whether or not graduate school would be something to further explore. But by some wizardry Mark convinced me\u2014some six months after I swore I was done with school forever\u2014that graduate school was the next path on my journey<\/strong>. It was then that I started preparing to submit to the MA Creative Writing program at Ball State.<\/span><\/p>\n

I only had a month or so to submit my information. I only had a week to prepare for the GRE. I needed to revise my creative submission. I was stressed. But<\/strong> the moment the acceptance came in the mail, all of the anxiety was worth it<\/strong>. I was going to grad school and getting out of the hellhole. There is no sweeter feeling than telling your boss that you\u2019ll be leaving on x day in x amount of weeks to go to graduate school. What\u2019s more is I was excited. I was so happy to be able to continue my education. I wanted to go back to school.<\/span><\/p>\n

So why does all of that matter? What does my personal experience with a crummy job have to do with expectations of graduate school? First and foremost, I like to think that I\u2019m not the exception to the rule. Most people graduate with their Bachelor\u2019s Degree and don\u2019t want to continue their education. Among those, there are people who aren\u2019t going to find their ideal job. What\u2019s important to note is: that\u2019s okay<\/strong>. Going to graduate school should be something you want to do, not something you feel obligated to do. What\u2019s also okay is changing your mind and deciding you do want to go to graduate school after swearing off of school forever.<\/span><\/p>\n

When it came to expectations, I think nearly everyone anticipates a lot of work. And I hope they expect to do something they love, whether that be writing poetry or researching rhetorical theories or reading Dickens. Those were things I expected, but I also expected to hone my craft, to learn to love writing again, and find my new\u00a0place in the hierarchy of higher education. I was awarded an assistantship\u2014If I could give any\u00a0<\/span>advice, it would be to find a graduate program with funding (Ball State English has a pretty sweet set up *cough cough*)\u2014this meant I would be teaching. What I didn\u2019t expect was to make friends with such talented people that will last well beyond the two years it has taken to get my Master\u2019s Degree. I didn\u2019t expect to find love in reading books like The Price of Salt<\/em> or Other Electricities<\/em> or Life on Mars<\/em> (among countless others)\u2014books I never would have looked at if it weren\u2019t for my classes. I didn\u2019t expect to find my purpose in life\u2014I\u2019ve always wanted to work in the publishing industry, but after my time teaching, I\u2019ve realized that teaching is my calling. Needless to say, grad school exceeded my expectations ten-fold<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Disclaimer: All encouragement for use of and application to Ball State programs is provided shamelessly and genuinely.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As with most things, graduate school is difficult at times and it\u2019s hard to like it in those moments where you have a twenty-page paper due or you have to read\u00a0a four-hundred-page novel in two days. It\u2019s hard to like it when your students don\u2019t understand a concept you\u2019ve explained meticulously or one of them plagiarizes. But honestly, the good moments outweigh the bad<\/strong>. There were times I wished I didn\u2019t take a certain class or could sleep for a week, but working through the difficult times gave me determination, pride, and, most of all, knowledge.\u00a0<\/span>And that\u2019s the main reason graduate school is something to consider: knowledge. Not knowledge of all things\u2014the kind of knowledge that helps you achieve the title of \u201cthe pretentious know-it-all in the room\u201d\u2014but knowledge of the important thing(s), the ones most important to you. Undergraduate courses are fascinating and you can learn many concepts and techniques, but taking the extra step to dedicate my education to the study of writing (specifically poetry), which I love, has helped me in more ways than I can count. Not only that, but the experience I have gained by teaching, tutoring, researching, and administrating is valuable no matter where I end up after graduation.<\/span><\/p>\n

So no, graduate school isn\u2019t for everyone, nor should it be. It takes knowing yourself enough to know when and if you are ready. It takes time. It takes determination. And sometimes it takes every last bit of shear will you can muster. And maybe you\u2019re not sure about whether or not graduate school is for you. My suggestion would be to talk to a professor you trust. Talk to current graduate students. Get involved in your community and see if you genuinely enjoy what you\u2019re doing.\u00a0<\/span>But no matter what, if you decide to go to graduate school it will be one of the best decisions you\u2019ve made, for your career, and, most importantly, for yourself. Remember: there will always be hard times to trudge through, but you miss 100% of the chances you don\u2019t take and, even if you struggle, the outcome can be far greater than you ever imagined.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
