Intern: Hey can I run something by you?

Me: Yeah of course!

(Case is presented, we discuss)

Me: Good job, I think you have a solid plan here. You should be proud of yourself, you’re ready to be a senior in a month!

Intern: Thanks, mom!

Me: …mom?

Intern: I don’t know I just said that.

–Me, apparently now a mom; intern, my new mortified daughter

If you’re in academia and not having an existential crisis, are you even learning?

YOU’RE DOING GREAT! Trust me, everyone feels shitty. It’s the very unfortunate nature of intern year. There is no learning curve; it’s a fucking straight vertical line. Things will get easier with time. You will relax with experience. It will be okay.

How to be a good intern? Show up on time. Work your ass off. Get shit done. Have a moderately good attitude. Recognize and learn from your mistakes. That’s it, y’all. The rest will come with time and experience. Open invitation to ANYONE who wants to vent or ask questions. If I can survive intern year, so can you. It’s going to be okay.

The captain said it all. You’re rocking it. If you have questions or need to vent, I’m here! I don’t write a lot because my thoughts don’t always translate well into writing but I’m pretty much always checking up on Tumblr.

A chemist, a physicist, and a biologist go to the beach. The physicist is intrigued by the waves, walks into the ocean to examine them and drowns.

The biologist is intrigued by the various forms of life, walks into the ocean to study them, and drowns.

The chemist is sitting on the beach with a lab notebook and writes “Biologists and physicists are soluble in water.”
