Daughter is devastated - grad school program "paused admissions" after her acceptance

When my D20 was wrestling with whether to go to grad school or get a job after graduation she was wracked with indecision. One thing that really helped was to reframe the question so that it wasn’t “what do I want to do with my life?”, but rather “What do I want to do for the next year?” All of the sudden, it felt a lot less monumental and high-stakes and the answer became crystal clear for her (she chose to take the year and work and six months in then decided to apply to grad school for this next academic year).

Good luck to your daughter!
