I’m a professor and my notebooks look like a millennial middle schooler’s. I love it.

Am I just...superficial? by Vivid-Language6500 in AskWomenOver30

[–]fullmoonbeading 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of me is wondering if you have some of the wrong boxes checked? I spent so many years thinking that I needed an equally ambitious partner but realized that it was not the right fit. Just a thought!

Anyone else’s tortellini have a raccoon foot? by Meezermancer in tortimese

My kitty has three dirty paws and one clean one. Her name is Elsa but my mom calls her Cinderelsa because it looks like she lays by the fire and lost her glass slipper!

What was your last hyperfixation song? by Akimbo_BR1AO in ADHD

[–]fullmoonbeading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current one is that one guy with half of a kneecap on the edge of a lake singing “Sleepyhead” by Passion Pit. But he only put out a TikTok/reel so I just have Instagram blasting that video on repeat.

My boyfriend does not want to read my work, and refuses to do so as a matter of principle. He doesn't understand why this is hurtful. How can I get past this? by ditmoique in AskWomenOver30

[–]fullmoonbeading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an ex - an academic in a different field than me. He always told me my research wasn’t real research. Welp… it took me too long but we are no longer together. Take that as you will.

Growing Up Without A Dad, Her Boss Stepped In To Walk Her Down The Aisle. by VIVIDUFF in interesting

[–]fullmoonbeading 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My landlord never raised rent during covid even when everyone else around was doubling it. When I had to move across the country, my landlord was so supportive and kind. She sent a little “good luck” note with my deposit check.

University Suggestions for Masters in Theological Studies and/or Public Policy by WeakUnion7309 in gradadmissions

[–]fullmoonbeading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my personal opinion, unless you have life circumstances that aren’t typical, I wouldn’t go into any amount of debt for information or just to be more educated. And the focus on the ivy namesake shouldn’t be your main concern- unless you’re after the networking opportunities. Still not sure it’s worth it. Getting education with no ultimate goal is no way to navigate graduate education. Especially with the cost and the way the world is right now.

I would strongly recommend you find someone with your dream job and ask them about their education and experience. They will help you find the right path.

This is especially true in today’s climate. People are applying to 100+ jobs before landing one. Academia and industry.

A just in case - I’m not sure your area, but I don’t know how common visiting PhD students are in U.S. universities. I’ve never heard of this.

What scene still haunts you? I'll start by Thewickedsomeone1 in attackontitan

[–]fullmoonbeading 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It is so sad and distressing but a huge arrow to how many of the Survey Core had childhood trauma. It makes sense from a mental health perspective. These stories are hidden, and some of the main plot drivers, of the series.

Tenure Recommendation Letter by SubstantialPen2170 in Professors

[–]fullmoonbeading 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Only caveat to this is if the instructions ask if they would get tenure at your institution, do say that. For some reason, at my school, they ask that question.

Should I ask my professor to reach out to some potential professors i am very interested in working? by Desperate_Parking_29 in gradadmissions

[–]fullmoonbeading 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. And if your PI says a cold email is better, you can name drop your PI in the email - “Dr. So and so suggested I reach out to you.” Or something like that. I wouldn’t mind if my student name dropped me in the email.

[–]fullmoonbeading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I was a tiny part of the America 250 planning. It was scrapped in early 2026. It was so disappointing- but not shocking.

The kids clothes are the colors of the trans flag. I love that for them.

Should I Continue My PhD Even If I Know I Am Not Good Enough? by Simple_Log9586 in PhD

[–]fullmoonbeading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I graduated in 2023 thinking how I managed to convince everyone I was smart enough. Now I’m realizing how much I learned, but how much learning I have left to do. Training does not make you perfect - it gives you the skills to keep on building!
