Ugh, hey there.
You look like you could use a little help....
Following are questions for which we have a smidgen of recent tacit knowledge:
- How to get manage your first week, semester, or year of your program without having a cranial explosion
- How to sound like a PhD student (or at least pretend to) as you navigate your first few months of the program
- How to balance school and a love life
- How to go on dates without talking about your research, research interests, academic crushes, publications written by your academic crushes, research you want to do with your academic crush, your last paper, the way you see the world based on your research or the research of your academic crush? (Disclaimer: this one is fairly impossible)
- How to wrap your big ol brain around the idea that grades don't matter in a terminal degree
- How to convince this to your parents
- How to enjoy your life without becoming a school-a-holic (Disclaimer: this one involves becoming an alcoholic)
- How to have fun and do fabulous things while broke as a joke
