I am considering getting off of grad cafe because i think this might just make me more anxious than without. Thoughts? Yea or just check it much less... I only check it like once every other day or so.. but having a group of people in the same place mentally helps hah

And last year they didn't have any accpetances that were given out (other than waitlisted ones) after their initial date. So, I'm just deducing haha not any objective evidence. Fair points.

Thoughts? Looking at grad cafe while listening to certain kinds of music makes the experience much more pleasant for me. Throw on some Funkadelic (or Parliament), for instance. Infectious cuts to start you on your interstellar journey that will take away your cares include, but are definitely not limited to, the following: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgasGeWuYdE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXZKF4aPFKE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAK2j27fwO0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rASGYZTE2oM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQyaZoSHoeQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeeYUXjp_ro Always remember the wise words of the Funkadelic: free your mind and your ass will follow; the kingdom of heaven is within.

Kantattheairport Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 If we're doing music for trying times, you guys might enjoy this bit of existential wobble from the Kit Fine Ensemble, featuring some serious disciplinary shade: Phi-lo-so-ophyIt's not for me! I don't have what it takes,I'm not one of the greats...So I'll practice law, Make money galore! Make money, make money, And thi-i-ink no more. ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fNWeKL0was And which ends with the heartwarming message of 'be yourself!' Which I think is good to keep in mind during application season when everyone's a little worried about how they're presenting themselves. :) Cogitodoncrien, charliekkk, soproperlybasic and 2 others 5

This is a funny song, but if Kit Fine has written it from his own perspective, then he has a serious case of impostor syndrome (of course, comparing oneself to "the greats" is always a little silly, so I get the self-deprecating humor).

AB1234 Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 New to the forum. But longtime lurker. So, Hello, everyone! I saw that the SFU acceptances went out, so I presume a rejection. In any case, I was also rejected by the New School (PhD) today. Happy Saint Valentines to everyone. Rose-Colored Beetle, Kantattheairport and gradhopeful96 2 1
