  1. I have had my MacBook Air for five years, and it works great.... except that it crashes about once a week when in sleep. I don't want to buy a new computer, but I'm about to start writing my dissertation. The crashing makes me nervous! Ughhh Do I have to buy a new computer?

      If you can afford to do it I would buy a new computer. The dissertation stage is a good time to do so.

  2. The biggest jerk face in my dept won a TA award which is irritating because all he did was play music for his classes and give them all the answers. Ugh!

  3. I find it absolutely asinine that I am required to take a statistics course taught and tested in a programming language that I will never ever use. I'd rather have a C in the class and use my free time to learn a useful skill.

  4. Would you rather be in a concentrated environment (your program is the only offered) or an interdisciplinary research environment?

      broadly applicable isn't what I'm talking about. You want to do be able to set your self up to investigate interesting questions for the next few decades at least.

      I'd pick which project I thought would be more fruitful for future work. Though that is hard to predict at such an early stage, you have to remember that your dissertation work is only the beginning of your research

  6. I am worried that my choice of a destination may prove questionable to the people I leave behind at home, even though the program I will attend is still a respectable one for my field

  7. My life is so not going in the direction it should be

  8. Just committed to Minnesota!

  9. I have an interview April 7th. Part of me hopes it will only act to strengthen my conviction in the offer I already accepted.

    1. GeoDUDE!

      GeoDUDE!

      why are you taking the interview. Isn't it a bit disingenuous to go on an interview when you have already accepted another position?

  10. I bought a waist cincher! I'm going to wear it everyday for forever and always be skinny and pretty

  11. The worst thing I've ever done to myself was go through the application process. Everything about it sucks.

  12. My school is SO unhelpful when it comes to taxes. They don't pull taxes from my fellowship automatically, and don't give W2s or 1098Ts. WTF

    1. GeoDUDE!

      GeoDUDE!

      fellowship stuff should be on 1098s... im surprised they don't have them available online ... have u called student financial services

  13. Is this a bad time to change my phone number? I'm trying to get over an ex, but I'm worried if the grad schools are going to contact me via phone.

      you can block him. just call your service provider.

  14. From a second year, congrats to those admitted, and those who are still waiting, you'll get that bloody e-mail! You will! :)

    1. GeoDUDE!

      GeoDUDE!

      statistically those waiting will not get that bloody email.

      its a good idea for two desperate people to spend the rest of their lives together. That will make a happy, equal, nonabusive relationship

  16. Saw about 7 posts on the same topic today ("OMG school wants a decision in x amount of days, what do I do?!??!") doesn't anyone use the search function?

      if they are ignoring CGS, they probably arent a good program.

  17. School and research do not define your value as a person. Keep that in mind as you get your adcom decisions.

    1. GeoDUDE!

      GeoDUDE!

      you cannot be valuable to society if you do not go to graduate school

  19. Swear to God the dumbest stuff is said here. BYE FELICIA

  20. Having put tracking software on my emails to POIs when I first contacted them, I am now seeing they are re-viewing my messages! So...are you going to invite me to the interview or what?! Ugh!

    1. GeoDUDE!

      GeoDUDE!

      You are determined to go crazy, that was not a smart idea. Focus on things you can do now.

  22. What to do when you have a final coming up in less than 48 hours and you don't want to study.

  23. I hate, beyond hate, the GRE. I call it... the Graduate Ruination Experiment.

    1. GeoDUDE!

      GeoDUDE!

      I don't mind the gre tbh. I suppose if i had to study for it, might have been more annoying?
