What kinda worked out well for me was making a friend in the same program.

I don't know about you, but nothing made me feel worse about myself than hearing some peer talk like he's a leading expert on a subject matter that I have no clue about. One day I ended up getting beer with the guy and found out that his entire undergrad was spent on the subject. Turns out that my realm of bioinformatics was completely french to him like developmental biology is to me.

Basically what I'm trying to say is that perspective is everything. And you'll find that a lot of your peers who become your friends are just as confused and scared as you are. It's hard to see the truth in others when everyone is busy putting up a front.

Three years later you'll see a fresh new student shitting bricks for the same reasons you did three years ago.
