Literally my entire grad program I felt like I was the odd one out I had like no clue what I wanted to do or how I wanted to do it and everyone else seems so established and low-key. I felt like that through a lot of of it but I graduated and defended successfully, so you knowwe’re all good. We all got the same degree lol

I want you to know dr Erin I got a 80% on a test I studied really hard for and I was sad about it and I heard your voice say ‘you didn’t walk into the class knowing 80% of the material, that’s great!!!’ and I felt so much better after. You’re wonderful and your students were lucky to have you!

This has been the most anxiety ridden week I’ve had in a long time… I know it will pass but man is it an adjustment! I told my cohort in my practicum class after my professor asked how we’re doing and I said “I need a cigarette” 😂😭😭😭

My PhD orientation had little workshops, and the first one I chose was about imposter syndrome 💀. It was PACKED. (My I’m at a major university, so my grad school orientation was larger than my undergraduate graduation.)

What are your thoughts on working in a lab in a masters program that isn’t relevant to the Ph.D. area you want to go into if that’s all your school has?

Classmate said "you look smart, can you check my proof?". (Context Topology) I was sweating bullets on the walk over thinking I wouldn't be able to. Looks at problem. Rattled off proof. Felt awesome😎. Still feel like an imposter lol
