    You know you're in grad school when someone says they have a hangover and you tell them you stayed up all night writing papers, too.

      Man I have like 3 months to get my first hangover or I won't get one 'til I'm like 30.

      YES! Screw expectations to give up good shows because of arbitrary rules society sets for no reason!

      Eh, life's a roller coaster. People who don't like it often get off, but then they miss out on all the fun!

    This might be a stupid question, but we can still make decisions ON the 15th, right?

    1. the_sheath

      the_sheath

      Not a stupid question. It actually depends on the school. Some want it by 11:59 PM on the 14th, others give you all of the 15th. Call and ask.

    If I could fire my students, I would fire about 75% of the total chemistry undergrads at my school.

      On the bright side, they get weeded out eventually. That, or they shape up. I think...

    I feel like it's going to suck making friends in grad school because everyone is so annoying to me right now at work. Grad school will hopefully have less annoying people

      Well, I think it varies from place to place. I actually really like my coworkers. Depending on the program, you shouldn't be limited to just your department either. And *you* date people, so you likely don't suffer the same crippling social anxiety that I do. I think you'll be fine. At the very least, you aren't technically confined to one building, since literally everyone there would be obligated to come on a regular basis. So at the very least, you'll have the condition...

    I guess I can remove the "application season" bit from my profile since that has come to a close for me.

      Figured I would change that once I started attending.

    There are barely any fellowships/scholarships for middle class Caucasian men in science, unless they're military vet, disable or gay. =.=

      Believe in structural inequality as in it's a good thing? And anyway, statistically and historically disadvantaged groups kindof need that leg up. When one group as a class has 5 apples and another has 0, giving 3 apples to each of them doesn't really close that gap. I'd say it's actually very effective, or at least compared to the previous method of disproportionately giving to middle class Caucasian men while leaving everyone else in the dust completely.

    I'm feeling really down today...

    1. the_sheath

      the_sheath

      So it's one of those days? On the bright side, it's temporary. And you don't actually know whether or not it would work out, so why not lean toward the positive?

    I CAN UNCLENCH NOW!! 2 a / 3 r / 0w. And the last horse to cross the finish line is an acceptance!! I didn't even have to be sloppy seconds~ (I think)

    Just released my other offers. Feels good to have gotten that out of the way. I swear, it's like breaking up with someone...

      You did a good thing. It wasn't them, it was you. You just wouldn't work out. And it's okay. Now they can move on, and maybe find some other aspiring candidate to rebound on.
