  1. How are you supposed to feel when you get a better grade than you expected in one course and worse than expected in another.

    1. nugget

      If the 2 courses still average out to what you had originally expected, then I would personally be happy about it and move on. If not, you win some and you lose some. Use your disappointment to motivate you to do better next semester.

  3. Is it normal to have a $400 fee for a PhD program?

      I've only heard of a tuition deposit of $100-300 to confirm acceptance. But that amount is applied towards your tuition fees.

      Or maybe it's going exactly as it should be and you just don't know it yet. :)

  9. Had my lunch stolen from the office fridge. Have officially completed standard office experiences 101. Can I go back to university now?

      I used to have that problem at work. Then one day my boss made a batch of brownies with x-lax inside and left some in her lunch bag. Someone called in sick the next day and lunches never went missing again.

  10. Just filled out an application to be on "Married at First Sight"!!! Kind of hoping for it that would be awesome!

      That would be a very unique experience. Hopefully the filming dates wouldn't interfere with your course work and practicums.

  11. That awkward moment when you're un-rejected from your #1 school. Glad I only applied to 3 schools, the is a lot to handle!

      So you were rejected and they changed their mind later on? Glad it worked out in the end. Congrats!

  13. Wasting time on social media, these books aren't going to read themselves, so I guess I'd better get to it.

  14. Some professors don't have their syllabi ready class starts next week. *blink, blink* I'm not going to worry a out it.

    1. nugget

      That means you're obliged to slow down and rest for a bit. Take advantage of it, the workload will come soon and if you are well rested and prepare for it your body will thank you for it.

  15. Student: "I REALLY want to take your class, but I can't watch any of the required films for religious reasons. Can you find substitutes or should I just skip them?" Me, teaching a class on Religion and Pop Culture: *headdesk*

      Sounds like you've got the hang of this now. Best of luck!

  17. How... do you plan a wedding in grad school?

    1. nugget

      nugget

      Go with the wedding planner. I don't see how you'd be able to plan it otherwise from a distance. Totally worth the extra $$.

  18. How... do you plan a wedding in grad school?

    1. nugget

      nugget

      Ask your family and friends for referrals. Did you go to any weddings recently that you really liked? Nice venue? Great food? Beautiful wedding cake? Great DJ? If you are already familiar with their services you just need to ask about the price and book it. This can save a lot of time, as well as accepting the help of loved ones if they can give you a hand with preparations.

  19. I don't know how people with kids do grad school, I can't even make time to clean my apartment and pack a lunch between all these papers.

    1. nugget

      I don't have kids but generally speaking, the first year is rough. I find second year is a lot better and it seems easier.

  21. Our neighbours let their friends park in our driveway for parties as if it were their own and don't ask us about it. Not to self: next time don't move in a neighbourhood full of students.

      Towing will be my next step. They know I don't have a car, but my roommate does. So when my roommate is gone for the weekend they take advantage of it and think they can park there just because the driveway doesn't get used a lot, unless I have a guest with a car (which doesn't happen much as most of my local friends use the bus). It's the not asking part that upsets me the most. What if a guest drives in from out of town and their car is blocking my driveway?

      Twice. The first time I called the cops because all my neighbours' driveways were empty, including theirs and I had no idea who it was. It was Sunday morning and the last one to leave the party couldn't even be bothered to move the car when a space became available.

  23. I notice some people upload where they're applying to their signatures and then remove them later.. any idea why? Should I really care that people *could* find out who I am and where I'm applying?

    1. nugget

      nugget

      Could be for more privacy/anonymity,especially from adcoms or future colleagues. Or maybe they don't want others to consider applying to the same schools. Maybe someone doesn't know a program exists until they see it on your signature and they decide to apply too.

  25. I've never eaten so much pizza in my life. Free pizza from my apartment, clubs on campus, and class meetings.

      Any leftovers? Nothing like pizza for breakfast. Mmmm
