Just my love for you, daahhhhhling.
 

Haha, naw, just shittin' you
 

 
ETA: No, but seriously. You ARE the worst.

Oh Loric, why didn't you quit gradcafe like you promised? We were all really excited for a while to not have to deal with your trolling.
 
You ruined Christmas. 

I can post relevant videos from youtube:

Not a good book to reference if you want to imply your purity and non-hobaggyness.
 
Hobaggyism? Hobaglity? Gah, words are difficult.

The absurd over-analysis of a basic term that will never leave our study's vernacular is representative of the downfall of academia. If we are going to sit around and argue semantics, rather than contributing important research or aiding in conservation and protective efforts for the monuments we have in this world, then we deserve to be the butt of every joke directed towards us.
 
I loathe this sort of discourse when it has no obvious end goal. It's so unproductive. 

Jealous of???? 
 
Believe me if I wanted to be pregnant right now I am sure I could.. not that hard to be irresponsible, obviously
 
Out of curiosity how old is the OP?

I can't wait until I'm famous enough to have a really great unreasonable feud with a well-respected scholar. Norman Bryson, I'm coming for you, old man.

I have nothing but contempt for weakness. I suggest for your sake you adopt the same outlook.

Well Loric, it's a good thing you're not on the ad coms. Why are you getting so personal?

I fail to see how a degree that let you make all your decisions at home at your own pace while hiding under a security blanket, sipping herbal tea, and sniffing sachets of lavender benefitted you at all in becoming a professional of anything.
 
Maybe a professional cat hoarder.
 
In the other thread people are saying the idea of being medicated to get past the stress/anxiety isn't right. Well then what is? Either it's clinical and needs treatments or someone is just whining an awful lot over something they need to cowboy up and get over.
 
The inability to get over it says, to me, that you don't have what it takes to make it in grad school.

No they don't. Most people's GPA and GRE scores don't line up. I repeat - GRE is an expensive nuisance that has nothing to do with Graduate Research.
 
But yes, taking it for the sixth time is unseemly.

I'll just point out that I've been accepted to more programs and offered more funding than you have, if you want to pull people's history into things as a means to belittle the advice they're giving. 
 
The goal here is getting in and getting funded, is it not? I offer sound advice for that. It is not presented in a manner to spare your feelings. 

I don't think it's wise to rank them number one because if they accept you they will be expecting you to take their offer. Number 2, on the other hand... that's your decision to make.

I agree with juillet. This is a stupid question to ask anyone. It's the King Lear question. This question did not end well for Lear.

That just means we get to be the young upstarts!
 
I'm really liking this pact.
