The number of hours I worked in school made me feel ABUNDANTLY lazy at my first job.

Easily 80-hour weeks. The weeks from midterms to finals were often 18-hour days. The Lab opened at 7:30a, closed at 1:30a, so you KNOW I'm going to be there from 7:30a to 1:30a. https://twitter.com/Justinoaksford/status/1276773777020301319

PS: This is NOT my recommendation.

I got desperately ill (hospitalized twice) at the end of every semester. I thought it's what I had to do to "get in", but I would have been more productive with fresh eyes, a rested body, & life experiences to draw inspiration from.

I'm playing DnD for the next few hours, but for the folks who reached out to me about how to survive without doing this - how to stand out - I have some ideas!
