For those of you who are unaware of how meat consumption contributes to climate change, or really anything else in general, please take a moment to educate yourselves on the topic before speaking about it. There is a lot of accessible and helpful research out there to discover.
Just spent half an hour trying to educate an ignorant person about how meat consumption contributes to climate change. Props to those who do this on a daily basis because that was hella exhausting.
Being in this field is definitely a double edged sword. I love having this knowledge and being able to educate people, but dealing with ignorant people like this is extremely discouraging at times.
facebook, holding me by the shirt collar: hey, remember 2008
me: you don’t have to do this
facebook: remember *punches me in the gut* what was on your mind in 2008
me: *coughs up blood* please-

Ever since I started grad school, I've been getting sick almost every month and I used to only get sick once a year 😪 has anyone else ever experienced the same thing? #gradschool
Grad students - friendly reminder that you are awesome, that you are enough. If you need a break - take it. Grad school is your job, it is part of your life - don't miss out on the rest of life, enjoy it!
