Got to do the infertility things while I was in the tenure process. What fun! My twin girls were a pretty amazing reward but the medical process made tenure look easy. Ugh. I feel for you.

The bed bug thing is REAL. Will legit not stay at motels, hotels, etc. It was too traumatic and I avoid any chance of being around it 😭😭😭😭.

As someone who also has a degree in Math, I echo your sentiments. That was hard. 😂.

Calculus II is the single hardest class I’ve ever taken, it narrowly beats senior level electricity and magnetism. Though functionally they were about equally difficult for me. Also, grad school applications, especially in the States, are so stressful 😭

math physics and ironically philosophy have to be the hardest majors imo

I’d love to see your difficulty rankings for the various steps of getting the PhD (seeing clients for the first time, defending your dissertation, applying to internship…) !

Skyler(she/her) :
just wrote my first CV for a graduate school preparation program I’m hoping to be admitted to, and I totally feel this. I was very worried that I wasn’t qualified to get into grad school, but then I wrote down all of my experiences that have prepared—and are continuing to prepare—me to do research, as well as the skills I was able to develop from those experiences and my professional roles. I’ve done a lot in just a year and a half. It’s great to see, and it makes me feel much more confident about applying in the fall!

Hey, how many post docs did you do before getting tenure, and did you have any teaching experiences outside of maybe a TA? Highly motivating!

I’m curious how the internship year of your PhD was compared to the rest of the PhD? Currently in my third year and heard that internship year is really challenging (third year is gruuuuueling) 😂
