I Will Survive … A Grad Cover Version You Must Sing!

I had a blast at the Graduate School Survival Skills GHC session. It was about surviving, but most of all thriving in graduate school! I have posted session notes here. We ended the session with this version of I will survive (It’s a must go-to karaoke song for all grad students! To be sung to the tune of “I Will Survive“):

At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Thinking I could never do research, I’d have to hide
I spent so many nights thinking all I did was wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to carry on
Now my groove’s back!
From a dark place.
I just walk in and people leave
with love of my research taste
I have changed the way I work
Now I know that was the key
And I know for just one second
Grad school doesn’t bother me

And now I’ll go! Walk out the door

I’m turned around now
Doubt’s not welcome anymore
I used to feel so very hurt that I could cry
I thought I’d crumble
I thought I’d lay down and die
Oh no, not!!
I will survive!
As long as I know how to think
I’ll make ir out alive
I’ve got all my life to live
I’ve got all my thoughts to give
And I’ll survive
I will survive!
Hey, hey!

Stay great,
Daniella
