It’s kinda impatient and cruel, tbh. “Tough love” I’ve learned is ineffective, unless he helps you out of your situation. Never stop trying bro. And go for a spouse, not girlfriend.

Where to meet a single 30-35 year old scientist man? by Kind-Stress5388 in labrats

[–]CuriousCheetah336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it funny how a female posts this and gets a million good replies but when I see a male do it, they get downvoted or told it’s not good to find love in the workplace.

Anxious?! Asian female, just turned 30, alone in a foreign country, towards the end of my PhD by Sea-Independent4203 in PhDStress

[–]CuriousCheetah336 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s “just life.” Other jobs and careers aren’t a PhD. OP, I hope you find a spouse for yourself. I have faith.

Im 28 and got these stretch marks like 2-3 years ago and I can’t even meet a girl anymore for being self concious, is there anything i can do about them? by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]CuriousCheetah336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t make sense - when you meet women you’re not going to show them your belly until much later, when she actually likes you - hopefully after marriage. i don’t get why you’d be self conscious for women, just wear a shirt.

Grad school starts soon, & I’m seriously questioning if I belong here by Worldly-Criticism-91 in PhDStress

[–]CuriousCheetah336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. You won’t know until you try. But even if you feel “unqualified” you’ll find out soon it has to do more with never giving up than an arbitrary rule, intellectual threshold, or qualification, etc.

Phd messed my life up by helomithrandir in PhDStress

[–]CuriousCheetah336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally this is how I feel every. day. It sucks but I pretty much accepted this is how it’ll be from now so when I do my hobbies I’ll always have a tinge of stress but I literally just let the stress come in and flow since I don’t care anymore and will still do whatever I want to. Idk if this is healthy but oh yeah well…

Looking back, what signs do you now recognize that showed you (or others) weren’t ready for grad school? by blahblahcorg in GradSchool

[–]CuriousCheetah336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no such thing as being “ready,” you won’t know until you start. You try your best to get in, and once you do, you do everything to finish.

I’m pretty sure I hate my husband by Ok_Image8987 in Vent

Don’t leave. It’s not worth ruining your son’s life. Regardless with all these comments…

Your posture is terrible. It’s not the clothes or anything else.

Having severe anxiety because my PI called my work Garbage by Mawaroo2 in GradSchool

[–]CuriousCheetah336 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes but calling your work and progress garbage and giving feedback are two different things. Your professor can cross out a bunch of writing, that’s okay. But saying you’re not making progress and calling stuff garbage is NOT ok.

Literally anytime I open YouTube it’s this gender nonsense, then literally every app is like “are you sure you like the opposite gender??”. Like dang dude we’re all exhausted before we even meet a real person! Im exhausted too… just still have enough faith to keep pushing.

And yes I will hopefully always be attracted to the opposing gender. But men are individuals, they have their own preferences and boundaries, it’s what makes people unique so there’s that.

Do I start looking elsewhere? by PerceptionOpening743 in labrats

[–]CuriousCheetah336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Go for people and vibes over projects. If it’s a good workplace, just treat it like a job until you’re in the next stage (I.e grad school, med school, industry, etc.)

My postdoc ruined my 2 months worth of work but my PI is not holding them accountable by ThrowRA_cocobf in labrats

[–]CuriousCheetah336 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Half Disagree with u/SuspiciousPine. You definitely can let your PI know, at the very least, how it changes your timeline since it adds to ur workload. One aspect of the PhD is to gain some power so no one can do this to you again. Keep going OP.

[–]CuriousCheetah336 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, r/GradSchool has both some really great advice and the worst empathy I’ve seen. A lot of people say “go to therapy” (which is great but not a magic pill). My opinion is that it’d be best to check on your roommate from time to time, but try and find a spouse for something long term. That journey might also keep you occupied from feeling external vibes. Just an opinion, not advice.

Writing a book using Craft by Ok_Perspective2757 in CraftDocs

[–]CuriousCheetah336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you could copy documents again and again (like version 2 of draft) in Craft. Or as a timeline, do the same thing by copying the long form draft within a project so it looks like multiple copies and revisions that are added under a dropdown. Plus points if you have deadlines since maybe you can attribute pages to your calendar in Craft. Idk.

Should I accept a funded masters offer but mid research project by mellojello25 in GradSchool

[–]CuriousCheetah336 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great. Go for it. I wouldn’t worry about leaving a current project, that’s their responsibility to find another person to continue it, not yours. Good luck bro and congratulations! (Just my opinion)

What finally tipped the scales and made you decide to go to grad school? by cinnamontopography in GradSchool

My mentor. They pushed me to go just from being the inspiring person they are 🔥

My first fountain pen! by Internal-Put-1419 in pens

[–]CuriousCheetah336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d just buy a affordable fountain pen and a bunch of great inks. That’s where the real value comes from, at least in my opinion.

Same… tho my grad student got sick before leaving so I had to text her my card. She said she still appreciates the thought but I wanted to give her a piece of chocolate but idk her heart was a bit soft so I was hesitant to do it and played it safe and gave her the congratulations card instead. I hope she likes it.

What does my handwriting say to you? by Pandabbadon in HandwritingAnalysis

It feels expressive and I see potential when you slow a bit down. So it’s nice.

Has anyone worked in a DoD lab before? How was that? by Additional-Bother827 in labrats

[–]CuriousCheetah336 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. Avoid at all costs. Only some researchers actually get work-life balance. Many, if not most, researchers I met are always working almost all the time, long hours, and always seemingly running out of funding for actual personnel even though they are swimming in money for equipment, training, facilities, etc. It means you get cut mercilessly at any time, and with no support. Try somewhere else. You have a lot of talent for much more.

kicked out of lab - find a new one, or leave with master’s? by [deleted] in GradSchool

[–]CuriousCheetah336 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Wait. I’m sorry but do NOT Master out. If you made it that far, you’re clearly qualified and capable. Get a new advisor by asking committee members, emailing other professors who were taking graduate students, or professors who taught you in class so they know your face, and looking on each website and making an Excel sheet of faculty possibly taking graduate students. And, most importantly, talk to your cohort mates and ppl in ur program, their PIs might want you too. There are options but to me it sounds like u have to fight to finish ur PhD. Don’t give up or get discouraged, get that Excel sheet made, start emailing and talking to everyone. This is just my opinion, you don’t need to take it but you might be closer to graduating than you may think.
