I’d rather taste the rainbow…

A man like you wouldn’t understand culture

One in a million shit doc

Bingo. It’s like this here too.

Not usually. For my sphere, you need field time to understand how things work. The academic smarts gives you the horsepower to the hardest problems, but it doesn’t replace the foundational skills that comprise 97% of the work

Now it’s time to get your hands dirty with just about everything that comes your way and build up that experience. You’re not meant to be a master of your field, you’re meant to be able to think intelligently about your subject matter

Within your area of expertise too, even. In my field, Ph.Ds are viewed as being overqualified with not enough field experience

I love this

For a long time, I was a middling student. 65-75% grades, with the occasional 80 in something I was interested in. It’s unbelievable how much that limits you when you want to go further, or apply for a bursary or the like.

Part of it for me, was that I was slotted in the lower stream/special needs stream during high school. This was largely because I was bored to tears in school, had a ton of home drama going on at that time.

I did a pile of upgrading, and ended up graduating with 150 of the 100 credits needed. I managed to get accepted into a smaller collage, transfer to the university, I wasn’t exceptional at really anything until my 4th year of B.Sc., where the specialized topics came in and I could fill my boots. I worked hard, though, which was all I really had going for me.

I pulled up my socks enough to get into grad school, and welp, here I am 10 years later (15 years experience in my field) doing what I set out to do.

You just mad she’s living the life you want, bruh

K, but real talk, I would do terrible, depraved things to lick Natalie Portman’s freshly shaved armpits.

Why are you posting pictures of me online?

Went through a whole phase where I drew biker mice from Mars. It’s not weird, something like 8% of kids do this.

I used to deadpan joke to junior field staff to watch out for the Boreal fen sharks. I would carry that joke as far as I could seeing how long they would believe it.

For the record the mythical boreal den shark lives in the wettest, shittiest part of the fen, where you have at best an island of peat the size of your boot to stand on. One step in any direction lands you in 80 cm of water, and an overtopped boot.

Street sharks was a dope show

Dick lake

Is that per ball?

Shave your nuts with a double edge razor like a real man.

This is what psychologists do. It’s like them walking around your house and asking why you’re still holding on to this

Imagine if Obama’s administration did this. The Republican would collectively and simultaneously cream themselves (ew).
