Applying For Academic Jobs Is A Horrifying Combo Of Forcing Yourself To Overinflate Your Accomplishments

i needed to read this today so im sharing it to all of you!!

10/100 days of productivity 🐣 9/18/23

the first day of class was a success! i worked for 2.5 hours in the morning and then went to class, where i met an old friend. i got a bit sidetracked after class, so i ended up chatting with my friends for a while instead of doing my homework when i intended to. i still got all of my homework done by the evening, but tomorrow, i will try to stay on schedule so i can be more productive!

I’m sorry I’ve been gone. Here’s me trying to find my way back. In November I got an ADHD diagnosis that was 30 years overdue. I’ve been unpacking thoughts on ADHD, rejection sensitivity and friendship fails.

General rule of thumb when getting info from academics: hold reservation on putting too much stock on anything they talk about that isn't in their wheelhouse. Like if a guy who specializes in chemistry makes statements about history, stick those in the "ask a historian about this later" box.

do you want to be a bookstore owner, cafe owner or a flower shop owner

i am just a girl i should not have to “fulfill my course requirements” to get a “degree” what kind of a society is this anyway

What does a PhD student need to do to get some money.... Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck this poverty is killing me.

i love to wait for the hype for a movie / show / book to die down before consuming it myself. like this super popular restaurant has finally emptied and i am the only one dining here and i feel like the whole place belongs to me and me only. kind of like that
