Things they don't tell you about getting a PhD:

(1) If you got a fellowship, that means you're special, so doing your job isn't enough, you actually have to excel, or else you're a freeloader who's thieving from the institution

(2) If you're struggling in any way, you will be encouraged to quit so that they can stop financially supporting a slacker (our assistant program coordinator let me know that my severe anxiety is totally relatable, she gets overwhelmed filling out contracts and scheduling meetings sometime too, but it's no excuse for failing to meet their standards). Your efforts are unimportant if they are not producing results. You are there to be an asset to the university, and what they provide for you (a meager salary, and at least in theory I'm supposed to be able to maintain my sanity) is just a nice bonus.

(3) Evidently I cannot actually be fired? They can stop paying me after five years, or fail me on one of my exams, and I can be subjected to endless ridicule and shame, but I guess that since I can't find a better position, my current advisor will have to deal with me for a while longer. Genuinely don't know if they'll ever let me graduate, but I guess remaining employed for now is *something*.

#phd #phd life #should I just get an MS??? #but I didn't come for an MS #I love what I do #I'm just progressing a little slowly #not sure if its because I'm dumb or what #logic says get an MS #but I enjoy the life I've built here #and I don't like it when other people tell me what to do #sorry I'll get back to DBH posting soon

You'd think phonetics about your own native language would be easier than this... I need a break from studying so gonna get back to some YR song analysis 🤭

#Stan talks #academic life #or Stan's bad choices in life #(don't get me wrong #I love what I do #but sooooo much work 😩 #and so little breaks!!) #so my treat for the rest of the evening is Young Royals #😤 #'cause I deserve it!!

How do you not run out of motivation as an artist?

I could’ve just typed it. More or less, I could’ve not drawn anything for the answer at all. But the answer just wouldn’t have any weight on the scale, would it? :’)

Me living my best life: I love my job, I'm so happy, I feel good, I'm going to the gym, I'm eating my veggies, minding my business as a dietitian

The pastor's daughter: it must be awful being a dietitian

Me: 🙉 I do not hear it

#like OKAY FINE #she said it to my FACE Y'ALL #i cant even punt her to the moon shes 16 #i laughed though i was like OKAY??? THANKS???? #no little punk's gonna ruin my groove though #i LOVE what i do #if other people dont like what i do #thats on them their problem their stick up their ass #fran talks

I feel like all I do anymore is talk about teaching (but at this point it's pretty much all I do), but today I had one of my adult students tell me he's learned more in 2 days of my class than he has in his entire life of painting, then showed me all the paintings he's been able to go back and fix thanks to my class, so it's nice to know all this work is important to the people I'm working with.

#i love what i do #it really does feel fulfilling #stuff like this makes my entire day #i just wish theyd hire me full time #or give me a raise for the first time in 4 years #something to make this more stable so i could appreciate it fully #personal

When you get a notification that tacotime posted the next chapter of the water queen at the same time you’re writing the next chapter of your Namuri fic and for a split second you wonder why you even try.

And then you remember that it’s not a competition. It’s not about the views or the praise. At the end of the day we’re all trying to create stories and art for a thing we love because we love to. And doing what I love is more than enough of a reward for me.

Turn your passions into work and it will never feel like work. When you immerse yourself in something you love getting up in the morning will be easy.

I should go to bed, but I'm thinking about stories and fanfics and treating my favorite characters in AUs and whatnots the same way you would treat a stress ball and making OCs and starting small woth a story so I don't end up doing to my brain what Big Anthony did when he used a magic pot to cook pasta for the town without knowing how to properly stop it

I really should go to bed though

Yet I'm watching Bionicle and also realizing how much I shot myself in the ass with being a writer because now I can pojnt things out in shows and movies like "the inciting incident," Chekov's gun, a twist villain, who the love interest is, who dies, the moment everything goes to hell, the lead up to that moment, what kind of ending will be in store and how likely it is to happen, stuff like that

People think writing is so fun until you're cringing at where the story's going rather than how bad the acting is, and I mean that in the least insufferable way possible

#ramblings #i need to go to bed #i talked about this earlier with someone too and it still boggles my mind that I'm at this point in my life #i love what i do #i just hate what it gave me in return

You know, I want to one day be one of those fan fic authors that everyone in the Byler community knows about and I can't believe that's my most significant life aspiration.

#byler #byler fanfic #stranger things #It just feels strange #When I was a kid I wanted to be a millionare #and now I'm like #yeah #I just wanna write some fan fic :) #but it's a good life ngl #I love what I do #and in the end #I don't even need to be well known #but #you know #it would be ok #ao3

I *FINALLY* did my oral exam today that had been postponed for +/- quatro meses and I passed it with flying colors

I have a real degree now O_O

More importantly, the exam was FUN

#it was so good it might raise my overall GPA O_O #plus I was still kinda ill from the previous week #university #exam season #update on reddie's life #I'm super glad it turned out this way; my professors are the best #I love what I do #wherethekiteflies #also: FINALLY TIME FOR WHAT IF TOA ROTT AGAIN
