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

  2. postdocs and grad students are the modern slaves and should be protected by laws

      at my MS institution the grad students had a union, went on strike, and got health care greatly discounted to them (200 dollars a year). So it works sometimes.

      I just never wanted "1" cup of coffee, it really doesnt save much time and nothing is as good as just making it yourself. Get yourself a heated kettle, one that has a timer and starts 5 minutes before you wake up. Cheaper and then you can get better stuff
