there’s something healing and beautiful about finishing your masters degree to the soundtrack of your middle school self

Day in the Life of a Marine Biologist

I’m logging some data from an earlier shark tagging trip onto my lab’s database and just stumbled upon some data collected from a tiger shark that the trip’s participants named “Daenerys”. My favorite type of shark named after one of my favorite fictional badass warrior ladies!! Day = made!! 💙🦈🐉

I woke up this morning to an email saying I’ve been accepted into my graduate school program! I am so beyond happy, excited, and nervous! I was pretty sure it was going to happen but I try to take everything with a grain of salt until its put in writing! It’s in writing now! So this chick is celebrating all day long :)

Thank goodness for Starbucks while I write this grad school paper. Iced coffee even when it's not actually very hot out, because summer. On a positive note, I checked out of school today and turned in my key, so I am officially done for the summer!!!

You are so 110% over grad school but at the same time its all you’ve ever known and you’re terrified of being an actual adult with student loans so you are seriously considering applying to a PhD to stay in school forever.

Finally winter break (thank fuck). I haven’t opened my computer in 3 days, just finished reading my first multi chapter fic in months, did both arts and crafts, woke up and the time ended in pm, and haven’t uttered a singular word to anyone in days but my cat… let’s play a game, is it:

A: burn out and now that I’m on school break it’s hitting hard

B: mental illness that can finally present now that the blanket of stress that is school has been lifted

c: all of the above

if I'm watching crazy people tv (mindhunter for the idk what rewatch I'm on) and I'm studying crazy people (working on my master's thesis on school shootings) does crazy cancel out crazy and now I'm just an academic weapon or does crazy multiply crazy and now I'm once again the crazy grad student??

Not to be dramatic but sending emails makes me wanna drink
