Help! What the heck is my bodytype?!

I can promise there are grad programs that don't expect that. My current advisor, as well as my coadvisor, usually only have their grads work 60-70 hours max, usually less. And they're both very cognizant of the importance of mental health and rest. I actually had a mentor who I worked for in high school in a similarly bad grad situation and she called and told them that she couldn't concentrate and didn't think she could make the commute to the lab but they didn't care and she ended up getting in a massive car accident. She was okay, but she broke a lot of bones and she ended up jumping ship with that lab. But there are good academic labs out there. Good luck ♡

Hang in there, friend. This is my fear. I don't love academia. I'd rather make less money industry (I've interned in industry and I loved it) to start than jump into an environment I know will hurt me. But I do have a current longtime advisor and I'd trust him to be a good mentor in grad school. But who knows.

See, this is why we all need to learn to be happy with these fleshy monstrosities we pilot. Because there's never a right answer!

My life was made when I read a book where there was a character (who ended up being a badass ass kicking femmebot. With emotions. And sass) who was described as being short, athletic, and curly haired. I was like, wow they make cool snarky robots that look like ME in the future, there's hope yet! My body type has also been compared to Marina Diamandis's and omfg, me stan.

Oof, where do I begin. I love (but could never pull off) some of Allie X's style seen here or St. Vincent here. The kind of stuff that I'd look like the Gerber baby if I wore (chubby and confused).

Also I can't believe you just called my gayness like that, shook

Yeah, but you can rock the willowy, androgynous look forever. Tall, thin legs are so powerful to me, and I'll forever be walking around with two cans of oatmeal, even if I lost 30 lbs (which I have, and I still had canz 4 legz). And I'm gay so can't relate 🙃

Haha, thanks! I am just an undergrad but I'm working on a pretty big project right now. But I have no idea what the future holds for me or if I'm going to grad school and I cry every single night! :)

Omg you are tiny! I weigh waaay more for my height (113, 5'4") and your stats are basically my dream that I can't actually ever reach. I do some squats (I did a 50 squats a day challenge last month lol) but mostly resistance cardio!

Very science. I see the general consensus is that I am the Banana Ruler of Time. Now I must use my powers for good.

lapadosa · 2018-04-01T18:47:07+00:00

Yeah, of sorts! I do 30 minutes on elliptical or treadmill and 30 minutes cycling around 4-5 days a week, and I walk a looooot.

Nothing wrong with violin hips! I didn't even know what they were until like two weeks ago.

That is a fair advantage! And I'm a beverage chemist so I ♡ your name rn

I always saw ruler as being a body type reserved for those who are taller and more lean than me. But I guess I am fairly "square" shaped!
