It’s March and April again. Yeahhhh! I love this time of the year.

But that’s grad school. You take a tiny corner of the universe that a professor finds fascinating and bury your face in it, looking up only occasionally to steal unattended bagels.

At the end of two months, I felt ready to announce my discovery to the world. “Residues 103, 107, and 109 are unimportant!” I wanted to cry from the hilltops. “Unimportant!” But a journal article never quite coalesced, and I moved on to a different lab, and now exactly zero people know about my discovery—which, had I ended up publishing the results, would have been exactly the number of people who cared.

Surviving Your Stupid Stupid Decision to Go to Grad School

Adam Ruben

He is not wrong. In fact, he is totally right.

Beautiful things happen when you distance yourself from stupid people.

I Sooo believe in this. Like my man says, when you spend time on planning evil things, you fall behind from your dreams. Bullying, harassments, envying, is like a full time job.

Now imagine you’re the other side, and have to listen to these people, spend time on them and waste your life interpreting them.

Boy.

On Aug 30 and 31, the weather changed to a rainy, thunderstormy thing. Rainfall was remarkable. The temperature dropped about 7-9 degrees (C), and the wind started to convert to a ‘chill’ one.

On Sep 1, the temperature dropped even more and everything has been like a normal natural autumn weather.

Welcome to autumn.

I think most of the society grows out of teenage times on time enough.

Some don’t. And that’s not good.

What I have found about people in general is that each is unique in their own way.

Some are insane. Some are wired as self and environment destructive. Some are neutral people who simply never care about bothering others even in helping them.

Some are good people who want to help others in any way they can. People are different. It is not anyone’s job to correct them. We are not in that position to control anything, and no one should. But we can help, if they asked for.

Some people annoy you to seem inspiring and analytical to others. Some do that because they have serious mental issues. For some, it’s a habit. Most of them are sadistic creatures. You cannot do anything about it. Just move on. Find someone you love, start a life with them, marry them if they love them that much, and grow your family. Keep your focus out of those losers who feel responsible to judge everyone.

All you need to do is to ignore them. Some will come to their senses. Some, will remain idiots forever. Just avoid them. Avoid both groups. The first ones are usually broken and it will take a long time for them to be fixed. The second group? They will remain a moron.

The weather changed for real since Aug 31.

Autumn has officially arrived.

It is raining; there are thunderstorms, and the temperature has dropped.

Every single day I see more and more post-docs with no secured jobs.

Why are they spending years and years on something so silly?

Are they just gonna walk around looking for more post-docs their whole lives? They are sad to see. No sparkle of anything. Broken, and broke. Sad, depressed. They look like the random towns in the middle of nowhere.

Wow, Europe and Canada failed way faster than I thought.

I always wonder, why do people tend to be stuck in the past?

Not everyone, but people are in general wired that way. They always think of the past, connect with unnecessary people of the past, and never go forward. once you are done with your school, you should just get a job, make a family, and move on to the next steps of your lives. I don’t know, adopt pets, buy properties, start a hobby, write down your dreams and do a little thing about them every day. It’s really that simple, at lease in the Western World.

Maybe staying for too long at school has something to do this. They stay in schools for so long, and at some point it just clicks that they have no responsibility other than tracking others progresses and just reading worthless papers.
