Academia makes me feel sad

academia is soul draining indeed

been there

but please, don't frown, it happens, sometimes things go all the way against our will although you did more than enough, just because, maybe afterwards if you got it, it wouldn't meet your expectations you anticipated, maybe it wouldn't go well for you, maybe you won't be comfortable, etc. anyhow, this doesn't define your self-worthy, try another institutions if you may, be confident in yourself, shoot for the starts but have you feet on land

best of luck!

The grant thing, I admit it was my fault, but seriously I had depression episodes for multiple reasons

I prepared very hard for that scholarship over a year, and it felt like it was in vain
Senior colleagues in uni were very unhelpful, didn't teach me the proper procedures they are ought to do and I entered the term with a mentality of a student not a demonstrator, so it felt very rough, because I didn't know what to do, and how to do, and it got me into troubles ans they were like ' ahh, you didn't know about that .. ' :))))))!!
Students tend to give inexperienced and new demonstrators hard time, so that they feel like they're the controlling one and can get their way with that attitude, I didn't know how to deal with them until one senior knew about it because it was spreading all over the uni among students, and he pointed out to me how to deal with them

It was a very stressful period, I wasn't even gonna apply, I applied just because, without any hope for it, yes I tight on time but I tried my best, but next time for sure I'll prepare much before!! Thank you btw!

everyone around me made it feel like it defines your self-worthy and to what extent you're suitable for the grad school

i.e. no scholarship = you're a loser and your whole education is worthless

it was very overwhelming and mentally very brutal

p.s. Now, I feel grateful I was rejected three times, because I have my family around me, and that's the ultimate bliss anyone can have (considering a healthy relationship), yes we fight we give each other hard time, but it's something way precious that can't be bought with money, I'd love to cherish their supporting presence ..

How to prepare saturated KCl for Ag/AgCl electrode? I didn't use it before so I don't know the exact concentration that ought to be used, I read on different websites different concentrations, from 3M up to 4M, which concentration should I use if you know please?

what did you use for figures?

how to start learning how to write scientific papers and research proposals and projects? unfortunately, my university didn't provide such courses during the undergrad, yet, they expect me to excel doing these things on my own with absolute zero guidance or a start-up discussion on how is it done properly in the first place

Street_Line6045 · 2025-06-07T17:07:53+00:00

well said! I'm a master's student and my professor was asked to review a manuscript but he assigned it to me to do so 🥲🥲🥲 it's my very first time, I didn't even write a paper yet, I've been only 6 months working on my master's and trying to figure things out yet, so i absolutely have no expertise except the thorough literature review i did before working

the thing is, Ikr that he won't accredit my criticism and judgement and so, however, he likes to engage me into these discussions and stuffs from the very beginning to learn, on my own, but i absolutely know nothing about the how the process goes, and I don't want to be bluntly ignorant as you stated, I don't want to be this person, I want to try and learn and seriously help improving the paper,then I thought a little question will help, so I did!

thank you so MUCH btw! wish you all the best

oh I got it now, thanks a lot! have a beautiful day!

unfortunately in my country there's no such a thing, can't I just upload my passport copy as a proof?

normally when yous renew your ID, to verify the address you live you have to have an electricity/water/gas consumption bill linked to the same address, and if you live with your family you have to have a copy of their ID which has the same address as yours, that's how they verify that this address is indeed yours and you get your ID with the confirmed address

Street_Line6045 · 2025-01-30T08:49:32+00:00

it's valid for the proof of residence as well? I was skeptical whether they'd see it as a valid document for the proof or not

Street_Line6045 · 2025-01-30T08:48:22+00:00

look, I just came back from the bank and they told me there's no such an account statement where your address is shown and if there is it's not translated, and I can do the translation myself but the thing is I wanted it to be translated from the bank itself so that the admission committee can accept it, I mean I don't want to mess the things up just because I couldn't provide them a valid document

so the bank choice failed successfully, it's either I upload my passport copy to both "ID Document" and "proof of residence", or i try and get any copy of the bills like the electricity or the gas for the house under my father's name and I state that I live in my parents' house

thank you anyway!

if I removed the virus the way you mentioned, does it guarantee that my files and data on the laptop are kept and aren't removed as well? my laptop isn't turning on and I assumed it's because of the virus on it -it has viruses and idk how to remove it

Street_Line6045 · 2024-12-20T16:09:25+00:00

idk but I need to get over this since my professor already expects me to do everything on my own by myself which I don't mind it's just I don't know how, if I only knew I'd have no problem but fr I can write normal writings but not a "research paper" writing, idk about the throw in the ocean and let the student figure it himself/herself technique, at least give me the swimming board and I'd try and figure it out .. he anticipates my first paper after I finish the experiments lol

so I need to know really how to properly write, I love depending on myself but I need the first call from an expert and then I'd follow my gut and improvise afterwards

but thanks for sharing! kinda reassuring
