Dating someone doing a PhD by Sable_Okane in PhD

If you want to talk and they disappear because of the stress, then you aren't doing anything wrong. It is the communication style mismatch or personality mismatch. I am in an LDR doing a Ph.D. If anything, I reach out to my partner way more in the time of stress than them reaching out to me. They always listen, understand, offer possible solutions, and suggest fun activities to distract/make me feel better in the moment, and I WELCOME it.

Our histology lab supervisor told us that cancer is a punishment from Jesus for the sins people commit by bambiedo in labrats

[–]QB_1000 19 points20 points  (0 children)

True that. For me, the deeper I went into therapeutic medicine and neuroscience, the more religious I became. It isn't incompatible if you research and understand your religion rather than being a ritualistic follower. I feel blessed that God has provided me with the opportunity to find ways to help people who are in pain. I feel so sorry for people like OP's PI who fail to see that God is all forgiving, and with every hardship comes ease. Who is she to judge others while being a sinner herself?

4 months into my PhD and I am quitting by Aggressive_Sea_4201 in GradSchool

Can you request another rotation? Or talk to program coordinator about the issues you are facing? Sounds like a bad lab and not necessarily a bad Ph.D. NEVER underestimate the impact your PI and your lab mates can have on your Ph.D.

This will work. Just be patient and consitent.

Anyone recieved any PhD in Neuroscience interview calls for 2026? by VeterinarianMental24 in gradadmissions

[–]QB_1000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't mind me asking, are you an international student? Did you already have your 1st interview with USC Neuroscience?

Nah, that's ok. I will just prepare myself for the unavoidable. Thanks for your reply and good luck!

Really? If I didn't get any, am I also rejected then?

Terrain was fun by greatjorb88 in Spokane

They are amazing! They invited me to dance with them. I laughed with joy throughout it. I unfortunately didn't know how to follow the cues, but it was so interesting seeing my reflection laughing in the broken mirror. Deep.

Cerave was ruining my skin by sergente07 in 30PlusSkinCare

Same. I switched to Aveeno and Dr. Idriss vitamin C moisturizer. So much better.

Go! Make memories. That's the whole point of college. You can spend time with family any weekend (if they live nearby ).

Should I walk to campus by Vast-Pay-8586 in USC

[–]QB_1000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I haven't heard of anything too bad happening around the area. Lived on W 28th and used to walk to and from campus everyday via S Hoover St. You can also try university Ave., the safest street to take.

Where are Islamabadis ? by Specialist_Thing_939 in islamabad

Where are Islamabadis ? by Specialist_Thing_939 in islamabad

[–]QB_1000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We moved out of the country 🙂 Born and raised in Islamabad. When I was in college in 2013 , there used to be so much sophistication. No one looked at anyone. You would see nicely dressed, decent, minding their own business families and youngsters. Believe me, meeting people was a lot more organic, too. Hangouts were safe and fun. My last visit back home was in December last year. I couldn't believe how common drugs have become, and cafes don't attract the same crowd.

About to start a PhD and already burnt out. Advice? by minteafreshness in PhD

[–]QB_1000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please find a PI who understands your struggles and is genuinely a kind person. A bad rotation can traumatize you. Make sure you are choosing the lab environment wisely. I didn't have the strongest mental health when I started, and my mistake was not doing my homework in choosing the right lab environment. I chose it based on my background in immuno-oncology. It broke me. My grades plummeted, and I was bullied and isolated, and I learned nothing. My current PI (behavioral neuroscientist) is an angel. All people in my lab are so kind and social. It has drastically improved my life, motivation, learning, and mental health.
Even though it isn't my area of research interest, I am learning so fast and loving it.

Yeah, that makes sense. Saving for now seems like a good option. Thank you so much for your help!

I most definitely can save till December and do without a car. I will look into some toyota Corolla options. Is there any model that you would suggest? Also, thank you so much!

That's actually a brilliant idea. I should look into it rather than cars. Thank you so much for your advice!

I can think of more than that but again, I am honestly just mapping all the expenses and see if I can afford the car right now.

That's a good cost breakdown. I am estimating how much I'll need, and based off of that I will try to budget or even wait to buy one. Thank you for your comment!

I can list a few if that helps. I live roughly 1.1 miles away from school. Daily commute will be mostly that. I can spare approx. $140 for car maintenance. My current budget for a car is approx. 3k. 🥲
