  1. finally complained to my PI about this chick today, hallelujah my PI was like, "keep in mind that she is not an official member of this group"
  2. I believe it will help a lot in term of "unique work experience" because most of the chemistry applicants do not have that kind of experience . One of the professors in my division was an army vet, and my coworker (in the same research group) went to a military school for his Masters.
  3. "when people have the freedom to choose, they choose wrong"

  4. its ah-mazing. as long as you know how to ignore and distance yourself from bxtches and moochers.
  5. You could have been like, "bxtch bye, bye now, adios"
  6. I'm sorry that I'm not physically or mentally disabled, a woman, have darker skin tone, or have any military experiences.

      Being a woman won't get you very far these days, either. Can't speak for the rest of them.

      Given the amount of sh*t I've had to put up with over the years, I'd say to count your blessings that you are *not* a woman in the physical sciences.

      Being a darker skin tone is no walk in the park either.

  7. smell like someone is getting fired soon :-)

      Don't be seen to be gleeful. Even if everyone is.

      Yikes! I have only two classes, and a total of 16 books. :/ I agree with 3BoysMom. What DID we get ourselves into?

      I think Quantum means a month to submit a paper to a research journal, and I bet there are additional experiments to go with it. Not fun.

  10. My PI got pretty annoyed at her because of all the Q's she asked (Qs that can be answered easily). I got really offended because she would ask me a question and I gave her an intellectual answer, then she would go around and ask other grad students the EXACT same question and compare the answers...I was like, "sketchy much?" now I can see why she doesn't get along with other female students and people DONT like her in general, two-faced xxxxx
  11. I got all my furniture from IKEA, I was able to get everything for my bedroom (bed frame, night stands, mattress, drawers, computer table, computer chair) , living room (bookcase x 4, coffee table, TV stand, stools), dining room (a full dining set with 4 chairs), kitchen (all the necessities), and lots of decorative stuff. for about ~$1500 tax included. It was a good way to start fresh lol
  12. Rant of the Day: If you have gone on multiple different dates and have had multiple different BFs or GFs and STILL end up single? something must be really wrong with you, just saying lol.

  13. Oh yeahhhhh credit limit increased from 3.5K to 5K ~

      Haha, I recently got an increase too. Isn't it sad that we get excited as if it were real money?

      true that but it's good for emergency spendings

  14. I got myself a Target RED card last year because I realized I was shopping there pretty often and they offer weekly coupons. I applied online and was able to get an approval with 2K credit limit within 10 min after I submitted my application. I've heard a lot of people applied and only got $200 ~ 700 credit limit due to their credit score and credit history. The Target near where I live recently re-innovate from a standard Target to a Super Target (w/ grocery). I like Target brand generic products,
  15. Do you think GRE score is the only thing they're looking for? At my school, GRE is the least thing we look for when evaluating an applicant.
  16. omfg, my published work got referenced by industry people

  17. You will not see questions like that on the revised GRE. https://www.ets.org/gre/revised_general/about
  18. so sick of false positive results.

  19. I absolutely hate it when people expect others to teach them how to do EVERYTHING, for real, are you sure you want to become a researcher?

      "put on your big girl/big boy pants and deal the hell with it." <--my usual response to most people who refuse to do anything by themselves and ask way too many questions that they can figure out themselves.

  20. I need to transfer to your program. jk.
  21. it's all about supply and demand, the market for PhD chemists is completely saturated.

      I heard you can't get a decent job in chemistry without a graduate degree

      I don't think that's the case anymore, I see more and more PhD chemists taking jobs that only require a BS...

  22. you're right, I think my PI might be fed up with Person A soon because Person A was asking me a lot of random questions during my research presentation and most of my coworkers look very annoyed...
