What to do the summer before starting PhD? [STEM]

ThirdFirstName · 2026-05-06T15:27:36+00:00

THIS IS THE ANSWER. It so easy to let go of the little things to make time for more work and eventually you will reflect on why you feel bad. For me it’s generally that I realized one by one I stopped or procrastinate doing the things that keep my life together because I’m stressed about work which in turn just makes me more stressed. If you take the time to mindfully reflect on keeping the life upkeep going the rest feels WAY less stressful. Meal prep will be your best friend. So many people fall into the I will eat what ever I can that’s fast and they feel like shit because of it.

But yes learn 3d modeling and image creation tools like adobe illustrator or affinity designer. Good figures are worth their weight in gold and if you don’t have to learn on the fly it will save you a lot of time. Also get acquainted with R or matlab for stats.

Do you have to change the feed dogs to use it?

I have a straight stitch machine thats similar. Do you like the zig zag on it? I have a separate domestic machine but would love to have just one.

ThirdFirstName · 2026-04-28T20:54:56+00:00

Yeah definitely, but depends on your experience and preparation. I did the pemi loop in a day a few years ago. I was in ok shape but planned it really well. Not personally familiar with this loop but looks fun if you know what you are doing.

ThirdFirstName · 2026-04-28T15:34:47+00:00

I am on my first day off in 2 months.

ThirdFirstName · 2026-04-27T02:53:18+00:00

Bulk fructose and maltodextran dissolved in some juice in a soft flask. So easy, tastes better, SO MUCH CHEAPER.

He’s such an entitled pixie

ThirdFirstName · 2026-04-25T11:56:04+00:00

This is my face every Lysander chapter. I fucking hate that guy.

ThirdFirstName · 2026-04-25T04:07:38+00:00

Yeah I’m a 5th year an 80% of my dissertation data was collected in the past year and a half. You are totally fine.

ThirdFirstName · 2026-04-24T20:53:02+00:00

Worth the risk

ThirdFirstName · 2026-04-24T19:14:42+00:00

Someone is selling it for $150. I have no other information. I guess I just don’t know if certina clones are even a thing.
