Wearing my Goosebumps t shirt to my PhD induction so people know I'm taking it very seriously.
I'm at a table full of comp sci students who think I'm an idiot. Questions so far include "Do you want to be an actor," "Do you know what a tesla is," and "Do you know how to drive "
We had to switch tables and I managed to find the only group of PhD students who have never experienced imposter syndrome.
I feel like there should be a whole different seminar for people with mental illness because none of this is helpful to me. Also a whole different seminar for people who study ridiculous things like film so people can please stop judging me.
HA HA YES ALL I DO IS WATCH MOVIES HOW FUN NOT LIKE YOUR PROPER DEGREE.
Someone just asked me "but what do you read?" Have these people never heard of the concept of theory.
