24. In grad school, you focus on something so specialized you can discuss it with literally two other people on the planet.
27. And finally, in college you feel pretty confident, because you were at the top of your class:
28. But guess what? Everyone at grad school was the smartest kid at THEIR college, so now you’re like:

Anderson E. 2 months agoUndergrad homework:
Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter — to-morrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther… . And one fine morning ——
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past. Grad School homework:
Once the Xalan .zip or .gzip file is downloaded, unpack it and add three files to your CLASSPATH. The three files include the .jar file for the Xerces parser, the .jar file for the Xalan stylesheet engine itself, and the .jar file for the Bean Scripting Framework. As of this writing, the .jar files are named xerces.jar, xalan.jar, and bsf.jar. -

moniqued3 2 months agoI don’t know…I was working 30+ hours a week at 4 different jobs during undergrad, had an hour-long commute (no car, just bus -.-), and frequently left before 8 and got home after 9. Compared to that, my first year of grad school has been a breeze. I’m in a PhD program so I’m funded - no worrying about tuition like I did in undergrad - and I live on campus now so it’s a 15 min bus or bike ride. I only have one meeting I set up myself on Mondays, nothing on Fridays, don’t have to be in before 2pm on Tues or Thurs…

“I hate you. I can’t even stand being around you, you sickening piece of… um… hey buddy, can you tell me how you got your funding exactly? Walk me through it?” - What I imagine everybody says to you all the time

samuelo2 2 months agoI want to go for structural engineering, and I just applied to a master’s program in northern Nevada where I live. I feel very confident about what I would pursue for research, because I am passionate. If you have passion about the field you truly want to study, go all the way for even your Ph.D. if it leads to it. Do not let discouragement keep you from pursuing your true dreams.
