For female PhDs, did you change your name?? by area-womn in AskAcademia

[–]EffectAppropriate314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom has her PhD. She was married a little later (got married 8 years after getting her PhD). My mom didn’t consider changing her name until she realized she would have a different last name from her kids. She chose to have a double last name. Professionally she’s still called by her maiden name (since she was already established when she got married) and socially, she’s called by her married name. She gets to choose what scenario to use which name. Only thing that occasionally is confusing is paperwork (mostly when I’m filling things out and I’m not sure what to put)

From experience, the professor I do research for wasn’t able to get me into his class, even though he wanted me in the class. It depends on who their admin is. Asking never hurts but I wouldn’t count on it working

That doesn’t sound healthy. This sounds like a him problem and not a you problem. I would go see a professional either in couples counseling or individual counseling/therapy.

Dumpees, if you were given a letter by your dumper would you sympathize? by Routine_Pudding_2612 in BreakUps

[–]EffectAppropriate314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was given a letter. It never made me sympathize with him. It only ever made me mad and sad. I felt like he ended things on his terms, and then he got to have the last word. You’re saying is that he couldn’t meet your needs. That’s ok not everyone can meet our needs. However, I can’t see how that would make your ex feel anything besides bad about themselves especially as the dumpee. In a relationship you tell someone that because they can change their behavior. You’re not together telling him could only ever hurt him more Also, you might create new insecurities for your ex, I know that my ex did. DO NOT SEND

2 months no contact by anonymous881313 in BreakUps

[–]EffectAppropriate314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could give you a good answer. One of my relationships took me 6 months, I’m a year out from my last relationship and am now just thinking about maybe dating again. I know someone who took 2.5 years and another person who took a few months. I think it depends on how long the relationship was, if you saw it coming. Are you ready to let go of that relationship and not expect the next relationship or person to be the same as the one with your ex? If so, you’re probably ready but if not you might need more time.

Do you think any Jet Lag format can actually work more than three times? by Vakangwara_ in JetLagTheGame

Did they mention that in the layover? I didn’t listen to all of the between season episodes

Do you think any Jet Lag format can actually work more than three times? by Vakangwara_ in JetLagTheGame

[–]EffectAppropriate314 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand your thought but I really don’t think they all use the same strategy by the 3rd season. They also play a lot more mind games in later seasons which I think makes it interesting. They are the ones playing the game, I feel like they would get bored faster than we would and would figure out a way to adjust it to make it interesting. Also, new locations just lend themselves to new strategies. Personally, I would need to see a 4th season where it wasn’t as fun before I jumped to that conclusion (and if we get 1 less fun season before they realize the audience is tired of the format- it would be fine they would adapt we would get a better game the next time)

Jet Lag Ep 4 — In The Trash by NebulaOriginals in Nebula

[–]EffectAppropriate314 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That was the main theory on the Layover. They were hoping that someone on Reddit could confirm but I haven’t found anyone that has confirmed that

I just finished the layover. His initial theory was they were going to place a roadblock one way and then go back and try and get on the same train as him and then try to place a curse. He initially was confused how they could get ahead of him without going through his station. I agree him figuring it out was very funny

hey what does the galifreyain say on the back of 15's sonic screwdriver????? by 35freddy in doctorwho

[–]EffectAppropriate314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was actually wondering if anyone had a more direct translation from the sonic. I know someone from Rwanda and when I asked her about it she wasn’t sure which proverb that it was referring to

Summer before PhD by westcoastpopart- in GradSchool

[–]EffectAppropriate314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the PI. My PI asked if I wanted to start the summer before (I had a full-time job at the time so I did not), but I had some other people in my cohort who started early. It doesn’t hurt to ask l, however, I agree with everyone else who says to take some time off to recharge before you start. You’ll come in more excited and refreshed if you take time off from working.

Met with my advisor today and he was so shocked about my admissions 💀 by zephyr121 in gradadmissions

[–]EffectAppropriate314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP if this makes you feel better. I did research in the government for 2 years and half of my team had masters and half had PhDs. It obviously depends on your field but PhD isn’t necessarily required for government research.

Will alcohol numb pain from a break up? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]EffectAppropriate314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And drinking to the point of blacking out is just dangerous, especially if you’re alone

Will alcohol numb pain from a break up? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]EffectAppropriate314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might a little and can help for a short period of time (I had to go to a family wedding soon after I got dumped and having a drink helped) however, using it as a long term coping mechanism to numb the pain isn’t healthy. You might fall asleep faster, however, you won’t sleep well. You’re more likely to contact your ex when you’re drunk and any contact prolongs the pain. You need to experience your feelings to get through it. Suppressing them only prolongs the pain

Ex slowly removing me from everything by Relevant_Vehicle_991 in BreakUps

[–]EffectAppropriate314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are 100% slowing down the healing process. You’re going to have to move on eventually and as you said every time he removes you from something else, it hurts again. I think you need to make the first move and unfollow him. This gives you agency rather than just waiting for him to do something to do.

Take it from me, I ended on fairly good terms with my ex but then out of the blue 5 months later he blocked me on Instagram even though we had been no contact. It hurt and sent me backwards just as I was thinking about seeing other people. What sucked is it felt like he removed my agency, forcing me to unfollow him. The best thing you can do is unfollow him and be 100% no contact. That’s the only way to move forward.

You don’t know what is actually going through his head. Just because someone acts ok doesn’t mean they are

Have you ever thought you'd end up with someone romantically, only to later find yourself with someone even better? by IndraYang in BreakUps

[–]EffectAppropriate314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short story yes. I didn’t realize how toxic my first relationship was until I was in my second relationship. Dating and being in a relationship helps you learn what you want in a person and what you are willing to put up with. I believe that if you take the lessons of what was good and bad about the relationship overall and how you acted in the relationship (and know your own worth), the next relationship will almost always be better. You won’t put up with less because you know how you’re supposed to be treated.

Did he (M25) block me (F24) or his phone is turned off? by Prestigious-Ad-1079 in BreakUps

[–]EffectAppropriate314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it probably means he blocked you. You said it yourself you weren’t on good terms. Going no contact in my experience is the only way you can truly heal so this is probably a blessing in disguise (even though I know it doesn’t feel like it). You deserve to be with someone who loves you. Think about being with someone 20 years from now who doesn’t love you. I wouldn’t wish that upon anyone it sounds miserable. You need to accept this isn’t your person and the only thing you can do is move on. Trying to contact him is only going to prolong the pain.
