    8 Ways To Tell You're A Graduate Student

    One time, my thesis punched me in the face. It was not awesome.

    1. You question why you're even IN grad school at least once a day.

    2. You frequently reminisce about your undergrad days and how easy, breezy, beautiful life was back then.

    3. Your study break is going grocery shopping with friends. And you love it.

    4. You don't have Fall/Thanksgiving/Spring/Easter break. You have "extended periods of time when I can teach myself an entire semester's worth of material and not be interrupted by classes."

    5. You subconsciously feel guilty any time you're not studying.

    6. You CONSTANTLY find yourself looking at every situation from your future profession's perspective.

    7. You spend all of your loan money on tuition, rent, food, and textbooks that cost thousands of dollars that you only use thrice the entire semester.

    8. But despite all the ~stress~ and ~existential angst~, you love what you do and will kick ass in your chosen profession.
