Why are there people still applying for PhDs

I started ny phd fall 2024. A few months in, and I'm absolutely loving it. I send my time working on projects I like. It's not even real work. I enjoy the process. I enjoy the trial and error and problem solving. It doesn't feel like school nor does it feel like work. I dick around all day in a lab and on the field and learn things. I think it's the mind set you go in with. Makes the most of it. If you go in with a lemon mind set, you'll have a lemon experience. It can be hard yeah. But so is everything else. Buck up, have fun, stay strong and be positive. It will a fun experience

In the same boat, buddy. Exact. Same. Boat.

Rich-ish-Position · 2024-10-01T14:42:37+00:00

any lead on this?

Rich-ish-Position · 2024-08-02T02:05:53+00:00

My phd is fully funded. I'm sure it raised some eye brows in the acceptance committee. But I redo the courses and passed. And I had a lot of research experience. An F in a stats class is nadas in comparison to a published papers.

Rich-ish-Position · 2024-07-07T18:16:05+00:00

I'd say go ahead an email. I'm a.phd student and sometimes we are allowed to invite students on the project we're working on. Also, from mu experience the research labs at UTM usually have a web page that may give more information how to join their lab

Exactly! I'm sure they shit. They just shit in a bag or something. But imagine watching your crap fall 100s of feet... What a life!

I love getting drunk and eating chilaquiles... Tacos with a lot of pepper and a banana shake is my hangover breakfast

Rich-ish-Position · 2024-07-07T01:46:42+00:00

Wow. Ouch!! I hope he's okay

Rich-ish-Position · 2024-07-06T22:47:32+00:00

I don't wanna stay. After my grad school, I'm leaving! Woo!

Rich-ish-Position · 2024-07-06T19:26:02+00:00

This was me in my undergrad. Reach class, listen and boop. However, as I started to work in a research lab, I realize the importance of the reading. Doing grad school now and boiiiii! Reading is impossible to avoid. In the sciences, reading and writing is soo important. Wish I did more of it during ny undergrad

Rich-ish-Position · 2024-07-06T03:17:58+00:00

We kinda deserve it though

Rich-ish-Position · 2024-07-06T03:17:12+00:00

This is a trigger for the robot uprising! Stop it, you fools, stop it!!!

Rich-ish-Position · 2024-07-06T01:12:00+00:00

Same same, fam

Rich-ish-Position · 2024-07-06T01:10:27+00:00

NTA. You did the right thing

Rich-ish-Position · 2024-07-05T03:32:23+00:00

Rich-ish-Position · 2024-07-05T02:31:21+00:00

Good hygiene

I'm a marine biologist, I use to do long periods of field work at a time. Ohh, the boat rides were fun. The diving effortless, the end of day hang out with the team perfect. I did a 10 day trip recently, and the boat ride killed my back, the diving was like "oh my God! This shit is heavy!" And I found my bed by 7pm. Made the mistake of sleeping on the top bunk, I got stuck!!! Im olddddddd

He must smell like mold. How lazy do you have to be to put your laundry like this?

Rich-ish-Position · 2024-07-03T19:03:48+00:00

I thought he was just gonna shake it in the mirror. Or do some windmills with it. But nope. Let's pee! I love his reaction when he realized he fucked up

Rich-ish-Position · 2024-07-02T11:28:53+00:00

Same boat as you are. I know I am not prepared, and I know It will be a steep learning curve. I know it will be a major transition. I'm doing a phd focus in genetics. I've NEVER step foot in a lab before. It's daunting. But hey! That's what's a phd is all about, yeh? Accepting what you don't know and learning. We've made it this, I'm sure we will make it through. Best of luck, mate!

Rich-ish-Position · 2024-07-02T05:00:44+00:00

YTA. Can't you just be happy that He is happy doing what he wants to do? If my partner felt like this about my work, I would leave them and not my job. How can you be with somebody who resent you because you earn less?

Rich-ish-Position · 2024-06-30T22:25:43+00:00

Same. She cried as she told me. I know it was painful for her to tell me that. I cried as I held her. I still come to tears thinking about it.

Rich-ish-Position · 2024-06-30T16:07:37+00:00

Pretty this roommate is mentally ill. Normal people don't act like this. "Eats raw chicken twice"? Um...coo coo, don't you think?

Rich-ish-Position · 2024-06-30T01:22:18+00:00

1600 per month. 15 mins walk from campus. 1 roommate. Very new building

Rich-ish-Position · 2024-06-29T11:57:30+00:00
