things ppl often get wrong in academia AUs (specifically ones in modern university settings with focus on graduate students & professors):

no one is spending enough time complaining about writing

hierarchy is wrong. your grad student TA is not a professor or faculty and might not even be considered an employee. that 32 year old man is not a full professor no matter how talented he is or how old you think 30+ is, and he should be talking more about "the tenure clock"

grad students only ever taking or TAing classes & never doing research or working on their thesis/dissertation. there are masters programs with no thesis component so i'm sure there are ones that have no research requirement, but you can't get a PhD only taking classes

everyone has too much money. but also if it's set in the US there's an obsession with accumulating student debt for positions that generally you would not have to take out loans for

relationship with academic advisor never sufficiently unhinged

not enough discussion of stats where it's obvious everyone only barely understands what's happening

"what is a sufficiently unhinged student-advisor relationship?"

"I got so angry that ISIS was disrupting the research." -> Said on record to a journalist in the actual middle of an interview.

Yeah I think that's a sufficiently unhinged academic.

Sending love to anyone who is just… tired.

Not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, socially, financially.

Life is asking a lot right now.

Pause when you can. Breathe when you remember.

Give yourself space. Give yourself grace.

Hello, everyone! Long time no see, right? The real reason I was studying has actually changed since the last time I was here, so now I’m in a different phase with new goals. Here’s a little glimpse of my refreshed study and work space, and I plan to make it even cozier. I hope you’re all doing well and that your studies are progressing. ☕️

Ballet + cafe study - wrote 2 essays!

I have been learning about org chem, biology, enzymes, and action mechanisms through the kidneys - and basic kidney function and anatomy. It’s fun when it all starts to come together and make sense!
