To celebrate the end of my first semester of grad school, here's a vlog! I'm taking you through my entire week of working at a restaurant, going to classes, shadowing a school psychologist, and working at a private school. I'm so glad to be done with this whirlwind of a semester and ready to enjoy my winter break! As always, thanks so much for stopping by :D

Thanks so much for the comments and feedback! My new school psychology video is now live. How to get into a school psychology program: ua-cam.com/video/eWTTEKJCQCs/v-deo.html
OMG!! i just found your channel and i’m literally binge watching all your videos, love you girl you’re amazing and also let’s talk about how BEAUTIFUL you are💘
Raquel Rios wow thank you 😭 this means so much!
Hi Tiffany!! I just found your videos and I am so excited! Would love if you kept making “Week in my life” videos💛 so excited for you!!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I'll definitely make one for my crazy summer semester :D
*thank you so much for posting this !!* it’s so hard to find videos related to school psyc .
e 27 thanks so much for watching! ❤️❤️
Love the video! You should talk about what to expect in the classes your taking!
That's a great idea! I'll definitely try to do one for my summer classes because they have been intense!
Please do more of these! Love seeing other students in school psych programs & hearing about their experiences.
are you currently in school too? how do you like it so far?
@@TiffanyLee yes i'm a first year at osu! i love it, it's a perfect blend of education & psychology
also your style is so cute and classy I love it!!!
thank you so much!💖
Would love to see more of these! I am in my first year in a School Psychology Program in Brooklyn and it was nice to see someone else’s experience since not a lot of people post about being in it.
JannyBeans oh yay congrats on starting your program! How do you like it so far?
So far so good I just finished up my first semester. I found the cognitive assessment class more difficult, but I feel like because I’m a part time student and the class ran until 9:30, by 8pm I was shot and that’s when she’d start teaching the important stuff lol but the program itself is great! I’m feel like I am learning a lot
@@JaniceAnn I can definitely agree that I've learned a lot within one semester. Even in a short amount of time, I feel like I've already acquired tons of skills and knowledge to becoming a great school psych. Maybe it's because it's such a niche field?
Congratulations! Good luck with your program!
Are you in Brooklyn College? Just asking. I'm doing my undergrad at Brooklyn College and plan on doing my masters here as well. Pursuing a career in School Psych.
I'm a school psych grad student here in LA! love this girl
Karina Bitman aw yay!! We need to connect 😻
Hi! I’m so happy to find you and this video! I’m currently waiting to hear back from school psychology PhD programs and I’m so nervous... thanks for sharing this and I hope you’re having an amazing winter break because I think you deserve it!
Jem aw good luck!! I hope you get in 😄 I think it’s a wonderful profession that not a lot of people know about. I’m currently in Greece with my family but I’ll be back soon to start my second semester~
Tiffany Lee Thank you so much!! I don’t know how you dealt with the waiting period but I’m going crazy haha. I’m excited to see maybe future school psych vlogs or q and a. Anyways, Greece sounds amazing and I hope you’re having a great time! Happy new year!
I wanted to update you and say I got invited to interview at my top program! I have the interview on February 1st and I’m so nervous yet so excited and grateful!
I'm sorry for responding so late! Congratulations on the interview!!!! How did it go? :D
Tiffany Lee I feel like it went well! I really really loved it. Now I’m in the waiting process to see if I get accepted or rejected haha. I hope you’re doing well!
I am in my undergrad right now and plan on getting my LSSP .. which is basically Texas's Eds. (and other states) but I will be graduating with my BS in a year so I love watching these videos. Please please make more!
Mia Mayorga aw that is so exciting! Are you planning on staying in Texas??
I can’t wait to transfer so I can’t film about my psychology classes too. Thanks for your inspiration
Please let me know when you start uploading videos! I would love to subscribe :D
your skin is GLOWING oh my
aw thank you so much!! i definitely go through cycles of having amazing skin and then a ton of imperfections 😆
I love this video. Could you do a video on tips/advice for getting into a school psych program? Also on picking a program?
J Will thanks so much for watching! I would love to make a video about the application process and programs :-)
Hi J Will! I just posted a new video on how I got into my program :D
thanks for posting this! 💛 can you make a vid on how you chose your school/the process of applying to your program?
Jaelynn Jarman hi!! Maybe I could do a short q & a video for some of these questions. Are you interested in applying soon?
Tiffany Lee that would be great! 💃🏾 and yes, once i graduate from undergrad lol. I’m a sophmore but I’ve been looking into different universities & their programs!
I deeply appreciate the videos but those DOGS were the best part lol nice to have their company
haha THANK YOU! everyone needs a dog to come home to
awesome! i'm still only in year 11(gotta wait 3 more years till university :( ) I want to be a clinical psychologist and i was curious about how university is like .
please keep these videos coming. I've been looking for this kind of vlog for school psychologist for a while now. What state is your school located in, if you don't mind me asking?
Devyn Robledo Thanks so much for watching! My school is in Virginia :)
I am also a current school psychology student. Keep the videos coming. I really enjoyed watching it.
Thank you so much for the support!! How do you like your program so far?
@@TiffanyLee My program is alright. I am mostly worried about getting my practicum hours. I like that I'm learning more about learning disabilities and behavioral issues.
Was it hard getting into a school psychology program?? Love your videos by the way! xx
mary youmaran I think my experiences after graduating from college helped my application! But overall, depends on where you apply and what you have to offer to the program. I recently uploaded my application video so please check it out 🙏🏻
Hi, can you please make a video of School Psychology programs? I have applied to programs in California like CSU and UC. What do you think about private universities such as Alliant International University, National University, University of La Verne, and Azusa Pacific University? How can I pay for Graduate School? Loans? Fellowships? Grants? What’s a good GRE score and how to study for GRE? Good GPA? Application process? Personal statement? Sorry it’s a lot of information so glad I found you! Thanks!
Hi Elizabeth! Those are some great questions- I can only speak from personal experience but would love to make a video related to admissions and programs 😄 thanks so much for stopping by ❤️
Hi! I was thinking of going into national university. And wanted to see if you picked one of these alternative schools
Hey,
Great videos.
We do school psychology a bit different where I come from.
Yoav Geva where do you practice?
Love your video. I was just recently accepted into a school psych program in GA. Can you make a video about the field, why you decided to pursue the career, etc.?
First of all, congratulations!! So excited for you :D I would love to make a video about that- stay tuned! Why did you decide to pursue this field?
Hey I start my school psychology program in Georgia on Jan 14. I am so nervous and excited! I would love more videos as well 😊😊 as I don’t know what to expect.
Ericka Congrats on being accepted into a school psych program!!!! That’s amazing!
@@TiffanyLee Thank you :) I decided on School Psychology because I want to work (and make a difference) in a school setting. I just graduated in December with a BS in psychology, and I didn't really want to become a teacher or a school counselor. I wanted to work behind the scenes in a way. I cannot wait to watch your upcoming videos!
@@imanietheridge2493 I start on the 14th as well... This may be crazy, but we may be in the same cohort!!!! Lol, I really don't know what to expect either.
How many hours was your practicum in the first year? About to start an EdS program in the fall and trying to figure out what to expect. Thanks for the videos!
I think the expectation was about 8 hours every week (so one full day or two half days) during the semester. Our second semester practicum wasn't measured in hours but the number of cases we completed (5 full cognitive cases in the clinic). Each program is different and some push all of practicum to the second year.
@@TiffanyLee thanks so much! I know we have a practicum class first semester so that is good to have some idea what to expect.
Hi, I just found your channel and I really like it. Is it okay to ask how old you are? Or maybe give me an estimate of how long it would take me to become a psychologist, like how many years starting from the end of high school. A clinical psychologist. Is it something you would be able to major in while learning something else like writing or do you feel like you have to dedicate, kind of, your life to the profession?
Hey Raki! Typically, clinical psychology programs are PhD or PsyD programs so they are 4-5 years long. If you account for four years of undergrad and five years of grad school, it would take around 9 years after high school to be a practicing psychologist. My program is only 3 years including internship, though, since it's a specialist level, not a PhD
Question I’m a high school senior I haven’t started school yet but this school year is really important for I can start applying to college so pls respond do you think that someone like me with a not so good math skills and science skills do you think I can do it. I honestly will study to be better at math science is not that difficult for me but it isn’t easy for me. And I would really enjoy working with kids. I would study and do my best to be able to do this. And how did you pay for this did you have two jobs that help you payed it? Do you still have these jobs or no?
Hello~ I worked for a few years after graduating college (majored in psychology) to figure out what I wanted to do. During those years, I gained a lot of experience in various related fields and saved money for school. I currently do not work at the restaurant but I still work at the private school. I think grad school gives you the flexibility to have a part time job to help pay for bills/tuition
Tiffany Lee ohh great 👍🏻 okay thank you
Do you work with students with different diagnosis? Do you diagnosis students in terms of the assessments?
Yes, we work with a wide range of students, including many with disabilities. As a school psychologist, we can identify students into different categories (autism, emotional disability, specific learning disorder, etc) for special education but we cannot formally diagnose them.
What did you get your bachelors in?
Brianna Martinez I have a BA in psychology with a business minor!
CSULB or LOYOLA ...is a CSU just as good when landing a job after ? They are both accredited, is that all that matters?
yes they should be just as good! are you planning to practice in california? I'm sure the connections through practicum and related training will make it easier for you to land a job. that being said though, i heard it is becoming more competitive in certain areas of california.
@@TiffanyLee Wow , good to know it becoming more competitive. Yes I plan on practicing in California ...
Lol “I look like a picnic table”
they finally changed the uniform a month after this vlog 😂good riddance
Love this video! I'm going to apply to a grad program for School Psych this year... would love to hear your thoughts on different programs and your decision process!
CSUs, National University, Brandman, and University of the Pacific are the schools I'm looking into.. anyone have any experiences with these schools?
Thanks so much for watching! It's really awesome to see so many of you who are interested in the field. I'll try to gather all the questions and make a short q & a video soon!
Hi, I go to National if you want to message me :)
Karina Bitman hi! I was thinking of attending national☺️ I would love to hear your perspective
Hi Tiffany. When you filmed this video, weren't you an ABA therapist?
Janette Blanco hi! When I filmed this, I was working at a private school as a program director. I did ABA two years prior 😊
@@TiffanyLee wow, you worked 2 jobs while in grad school?!
Janette Blanco I did for one semester so it’s definitely possible but very exhausting as you can imagine. I currently only have one job but also am wedding planning 😂 you have options depending on your priorities
@@TiffanyLee wedding planning is a job in and of itself! Congrats on your engagement and your upcoming wedding! Thank you for taking the time to chat with me a little!
I am starting grad school in a few months, your videos are so helpful! I am planning on working when I start. How many hours did you work when you film this? This might be subjective but how many hours do you think is ok for a grad student to take on? Thanks!
Hi Dina!! During my first semester, I worked around 40 hours a week. It definitely wasn't easy but it's possible! This semester, I cut down to only tutoring and taking assessment clients so my budget is tighter but I have more time for school and other projects. Hope this helps! Good luck in grad school :)
Hi is school psychologist and school counselor same?
no, they may have overlapping job descriptions but they have different qualifications and specific tasks (i.e. psychologists are the only people qualified to administer cognitive assessments and they also help with special ed. eligibility while counselors help with all student mental wellbeing and possibly student scheduling).
@@TiffanyLee Thank you
언니 아빠가 들어요 ㅋㅋㅋ
Greetings from Bolivia (｡ ･ ω ･｡) ﾉ ♡
Hello! Thanks so much for watching :D
Are you a PhD program?
I'm in a specialist program (master's + CAGS)
@@TiffanyLee
I see! Awesome!
