Happy Monday to everyone except Reviewer 2.

Anonymous post from one of my followers: “Has anyone ever had a Provost who is not a SME in the field override a committee's approval of a dissertation and edits? Provost is demanding multiple students redo arguements despite having full committee approval.”

Other people’s stupidity really sucks the energy out of me 😒

Email me after someone has repeatedly tested my patience: “No problem!” Actual me:

I wish 😅 I’m already barely hanging on as is it in the mornings

Having a PhD doesn’t guarantee that you’ll be paid well 🥴

What is something that you thought before grad school that ended up being completely wrong about academia?

In academia, it’s glorified when you overwork. What is one thing you’ve done to set healthy work/life boundaries?

i fear that if i went to Australia as the bachelorette i would in fact be leaving with an Australian man #TheBachelorette

My therapist: “okay now let’s try to focus instead of the positive” Me: “…no.”

Reviewer 2…YOU ARE OFFICIALLY DEAD TO ME.

Academia can be so draining…

I know that this platform has gone downhill, but I just wanted to take a moment to thank each & every one of my followers for your support. Y’all got me through the depths of hell during graduate school 🥹 I will never forget that!!
