Grad School Be Like...

Absolutely incredible. Is there a way to get a pdf of this to hang up on my wall?

Mhm, arxiv.

You forgot the part where the download button is behind a paywall

So, all the academics in comments in saying this is their life, did you, before you pursued academia, not ask other academics to find out what your life was like?

I briefly looked into academia as a career, and I determined that it’s years of grueling work as an academic slave for low pay and a slim chance of secure employment, especially as a professor, which isn’t worth essentially turning into a career my hobby, about which I wasn’t nearly passionate enough.

Just ask chatgpt

I'm going to my first conference this year and I'm wondering...
Do I just not take it too seriously and just present?
Like, do they really just come to mingle and drink?

Thank god I’m not going to grad school

Now I don't want to go to grad school I guess

Make your college years memorable the right reasons instead of the wrong ones. Don't waste your attention or time on one of these degrees find learning outside the confines of higher ed.

Livin the dream

It's cool. I'm about to submit my last paper (rehashing Hegel) and I'm going to get my Ph.L. I can say and mean it: "SOOO TRUE!!!"

“You think we fail people on these?” Lmfao

I’ve seen the last five years and next three years of my life summarized in three and a half minutes.

The Professor character is really spot on. “Wait, no instructions here?” Then passing the thesis defense, “it would be too much work to fail you.” Good stuff man!

Congrats for the 100k, I was the 100k subscriber, so…. Gg

Me irl

So accurate even for a Chinese master student.

The 1000 tabs open with articles triggered me

As someone who finished grad school 4 years ago in applied mathematics, I don’t even my thesis…something in group theory 😅 - jk, I didn’t forget it all! It was sylow theorems and group information

The amount of self-explanatory, obvious shit I read in education papers these days annoys the hell out of me. I don't want to read a 17 page paper just to be told what we already know

So true. I am so boring right now for my graduate school life.

lol love when my professor just gives us crosswords once a week to do then has a massive long semester group project and… I’m the only one working on it! yay! Grad schoollll waste of time schoolllll

Que locura el Billy, como crecio el pajarito.

I got asked 2 questions for my thesis defense 😂

Haa, if only I had this inspiration when I wrote my Masters, would have aced it.😢😢😢

That's realistic af. Only groaned throughout this, never laughed. To make it even more realistic, you should've poshed the "free labor" angle more. ❤

∫sin(ln(2x))dxintegral of sine l n 2 x d x\(\int \sin (\ln (2x))dx\)

Knowing that the grad student might one day leave its hole and get the diploma... it fills you with determination

The professor music reminds me of when Arlong comes into scene in the live action One Piece.

arxiv is so fucking good

Meanwhile, my advisor be like:
"This is clearly not novel enough. I need more this, more that, more experiment, so no publication this year!"
"But what about my graduation plan?"
"That's not my problem."

haha hilarious.

kkkkkkkkkk ba que viaje, bem assim

Terrestrial Geologic Specimen aka A ROCK. Big words to describe a ROCK.

THERE'S ALCOHOL AT THESE CONFERENCES AND NOBODY TOLD ME?!

This is literally my Uni

Dang I just relived a few years of my life in 3.35 mins ;_;

Well except the last comment, the reason people don't really fail their thesis defense is because most advisors worth their snuff don't let you go to your thesis defense until you're at a passing level. They gatekeep you from failing essentially. Post qualifying exam it's essentially a race between can you get to the defense level before your funding run out. There is no fail post qualifying exam unless you just have a bad advisor. You either pass or run out of money and/or motivation to finish.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I see my future in this video bruh

Thinking of grad school scares the life outta me

As an undergrad, I was so exited to do my internship at CERN. Now, some years after I completed it, I'm glad that I had an opportunity to understand how people work there and never make a mistake of doing my PhD there💀
I saw those poor PhD students, whose work basically consists of clicking one button for four years straigth. And, of course, doing publications out of absolutely nothing. I remember the talk that my supevisor and one of the PhD students had:
Student: Hey "Supervisor's name", after two months of collecting anormous amount of data all that we obtained is just useless amont of data, no conclusions bro, what shpuld we do with it?
Supervisor: Idk bro, but we definitely have to make a publication that we collected more data than in a previous run!

So in my opinion, doing PhD in such big experiments is basically a slavery. Your working day is not fixed. If you have to stay in the office / in the zone untill 4am you'll stay there for 4am. Not to mention mandatoty night shifts from time to time. Maybe I'm exaggerating, and it depends on a group you're working with, but I prefer to stick up with my beloved photonics for now. No particle physics, thanks, I'm done with this

Basically physics graduate students obtaining the differential cross section of a reaction that's already been done.

I'm actually cry laughing at how accurate this is 😂 well done

ooohhh! been there done that. SH*****T! what im doing with ma'live!!!! ....Since then, decided to left for others horizons...

Your videos are like Beluga's ones, but these are smarter. Earned my sub.
