Desiderium Immortalis

In English, this means "immortal dream." Dreams come and go and change, but it's always important to have one. Right now, I'm a senior psychology major just hoping to get into grad school.

When you schedule a meeting during a class you didn’t realize you were even taking...

And then bonus points if doing that messes up the entire lab’s schedule...

Tonight I helped a stranger dumpster dive for her car keys. My Thursday nights have apparently reached a new level of excitement.

So if I get answer wrong on one of my exams this week, can I just say I was presenting “alternative facts” and get the points back?

Me: What's your name?

5 year old kid: Well, my full name is *proceeds to list his first name, two middle names, and last name*

If you want to know what a man’s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.

When your thesis advisor decides to compliment something you did...

Still looking for what the catch is because there has to be one I’m sure...

People: “have a great break!“ Me: “what is this break you speak of?”

I’ve got apps, thesis revisions, and regular homework to do over “break” lol

The irony that is grading

Spent 7 hours on an assignment = about a B plus

Wrote it in 30 mins the night before it was due = “This was so nicely done, excellent work.” 100%

Most people: Ok, so he/she texted me after the date, but it was like 3 days later, and the text said "I had fun on our date." What does that mean? Was he/she just being nice, or do you think it was genuine?

Me: Ok, so my thesis supervisor emailed me back and said "nice work" but had a lot of comments with things to change. What does that mean? Was she just being nice, or do you think it was genuine?

Who needs a haunted house when you can just put your study results through SPSS and have heart attacks about whether anything is going to show up as significant

*spoiler alert: things did not go as planned, so idk what to do now other than say “this sample of kids was freaking bizarre”

Gif representation of this scenario:

When Zotero is quite literally the best thing you’ve discovered in the past year

When the last 10 mins of the lab meeting end up being a debate about what flavors of various desserts are the best

I’ll miss stuff like this next year. There’s something really hilarious about seeing the otherwise very serious grad students getting into intense discussions about food.

When you work on grad school apps and start getting attached to the school you have a 0.002% chance of getting into...

When you need to schedule a relatively urgent meeting and your supervisor (unbeknownst to you) happens to be out of town for the next two weeks....
