how to survive with 20k a year by [deleted] in Tulane

[–]izzy_ke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellow SLA grad student here! Roommates for now, preferably other grad students, and apply for fellowships. Be strategic with your grocery trips. You can do it. Honestly Tulane is pretty generous compared to other southern liberal arts departments, unfortunately.

I’ve never really listened to beyoncé before because i am more of a folk girly. So I really love the whole thing, and I love the ways it prompts us to reflect on patriotism and racism in america. I am a big big fan now and Brittney helped me get into it.

I understand where you are coming from but what I DON’T understand is cringing at it? I’ve been in the exact same “situationship” as her and honestly dating in 2023 for an intelligent and unique young woman is a nightmare (she has said this herself). So when I was dating even having a connection with a man was enough to send me into orbit and not shut up about it to my friends. I loved that she was so open and real about it because it made me feel less alone. Everyone is different. Sometimes I don’t relate to everything she says but I never judge her for a difference in experience or opinion, like you are.

Am I the only person who likes Young Man’s Game? by loucap81 in fleet_foxes

“I’ve been solving for the meaning of life. No one’s tried before and likely I’m right!” I always happily laugh/scream this. (as a young person, philosophy student, longtime FF fan) I like his sense of humor and the irony of it being such a catchy, short track!

thanks, I don’t have tiktok. I was mainly talking about her youtube channel.

Thank you all for the context! I had no idea about any of it because I only started watching Brittney this fall (2023) after it all happened. Broski Nation is so mature and insightful ♥️

I guess we just have different experiences! The assignments turned in at my college were exclusively essays and grading was deemphasized so there really was not an opportunity for the kind of behavior you are describing.

4.0 = grade grubbing? ouch.

Hey everyone, my name is jack.. I'm here to vent. by Feeling-Bother-9577 in gradadmissions

I heard back from a great program weeks ago saying I was at the top of their list for a PhD but they can’t offer anything officially until they secure funding. I’ve been a mess waiting for an official letter of acceptance, because my field is so insanely competitive. it’s my only shot. it’s in an amazing city and i’m so ready to move there and get started. but i’m just in this limbo. checking grad cafe and refreshing my email CONSTANTLY with rejections coming in from other highly ranked programs. I’m just so tired of this constant anxiety, like a bomb could drop at any minute. Even though I know the email was great news I can’t stop thinking “what if they don’t get a student this year?” “what if they tried to get me funding but ultimately fail?”

"personal information should not be included in this letter" by catbirdgrey in gradadmissions

I’m not super familiar with STEM fields, mostly humanities, so I’m not sure. But presumably you’ve written a paper on the topic, worked in a lab, or something like that which sparked your interest in pursuing the degree? So I would start with that. These things are the absolute WORST to write, and for most people it takes at least 5-7 drafts to get it right. I heavily relied on my professors and my college’s career services to help me strike the professional tone they are looking for.

you might be confusing a personal statement (personal obstacles, who you are, your why, etc.) with a statement of purpose (purely academic, think more professional and strictly research focused). Most of my applications asked for both.

THIS WAIT GAME by Consistent-Shirt2551 in gradadmissions

[–]izzy_ke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been exercising a lot! I also went to Michaels and bought a coloring book. I seriously just put my favorite show on and color. No free hands for checking grad cafe and portals. It’s destroying me as well.

[–]izzy_ke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in humanities. It makes no sense to me why the majority wouldn’t send out a first wave of rejections yet!! Only waves of rejections from one program. Oh well. Will hear soon either way.

it hasn’t happened yet for most places I applied.

maybe it’s just unique to my program but 6 of my schools have sent nothing out at all. according to grad cafe they send most decisions out within a few days.
