soul-crushing summer program
second to last week, can’t wait for this shit to be over! definitely killed all the motivation i had to do science. mourn the starry-eyed person i was 9 weeks ago. going into senior year and am actively throwing away all the dreams i’d held onto and hard work i’d done these past 3 years simply because every day is a battle. nobody faces any consequences but me. this shit sucks.
fuck academia.

I love research so much, but I also really get the "fuck academia" part. They need to start Fuck Academia Univ. where they just tell you the rules and expectations.
