Problem: Article: Many PhD students are expected to be in the office or on campus from 8:00-5:00 during the week. This will earn you the respect of the faculty. Making a good impression with the faculty, especially as a first-year student, is very important and could open more opportunities for you later. Additionally, stay late once in a while. Stick around to talk to students you're teaching, or put in some extra time on your dissertation. Show up on at least one day during the weekends, too. Vary the time you go to campus on weekends so that you see many different professors (and many different professors see you). Keep your wardrobe business casual when on campus, at least during weekdays. This will create the impression that you're a serious person. Don't wear cargo shorts, brightly colored clothing, or torn/ripped jeans. Choose neutral earth tones. Men should wear khakis, dress shirts, or short-sleeved polo shirts. Women should wear skirts or slacks. Avoid open-toed shoes and T-shirts. PhD students are assigned a dizzying amount of reading, often 300-500 pages of reading per week. Try to understand the main points the author is making, and draw out enough information so that you can talk about it during your seminars with a reasonable degree of proficiency. Academic conferences, colloquia, and consortiums are great opportunities for presenting your original research and networking with others in your field who can inspire you to investigate new avenues for research. Your university will distribute calls for papers (CFPs) to you and all graduate students in your department. Check them regularly to see if there's a conference or other meeting where you feel you could contribute something. Presentation experience looks great on a resume. Even if you can't present at a conference, you should attend as many as you can to keep up with current research and meet your fellow accounting colleagues.
Summary: Arrive early at the school. Dress professionally. Don't try to read everything. Present at conferences.

Problem: Article: if you're a smoker. There's no known direct connection between smoking and goiters, but quitting will at the very least be great for your overall health. It's possible that quitting might also make it easier for you to bring your hormones into balance, which in turn might reduce existing goiters or prevent future ones. Whether your goiter shrinks or not after you quit, you can take pride in achieving an important health goal. levels to balance your hormones. Excessive stress may throw your hormones out of balance, so it's conceivable (if unproven) that it may contribute to goiters. Regardless, reducing excessive stress will do wonders for your overall physical and emotional health. Stress-relief techniques can include activities like meditation, yoga, mindfulness practices, prayer, physical exercise, and spending time with friends. Basically, find what works for you and stick with it. Once again, this is a healthy lifestyle change that has only a tangential (at best) connection to goiters. However, getting an adequate amount of high-quality sleep is most certainly good for you overall, so it's not a stretch to think it may provide some benefits toward goiter reduction and/or prevention. There is also evidence that not getting enough sleep can affect the production of thyroid hormones. Simple steps toward sleeping better include creating a comfortable sleeping environment, following a consistent sleep routine, and turning off all screens (TV, phone, etc.) at least an hour before bedtime. The average adult should aim for 6-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night. While there are some foods you may need to emphasize or avoid based on your iodine needs, an overall healthy diet may be beneficial in promoting better thyroid health. Likewise, it's possible (but not certain) that eating smaller, more frequent meals might maintain hormonal balance better and therefore combat goiters. Emphasize fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats in your diet, and reduce your intake of added sugars, unhealthy fats, and processed foods.
Summary:
Stop smoking Reduce your stress Get more and better sleep to improve your overall health. Eat a healthy diet and focus on smaller meals.
