Grad School Chronicles- Research is 'pretty much' life and vice-versa- II

5. Be happy with whatever results you got. You deserve it just like the sadness which eats up your happy mood. That's why they say- take nothing granted.

6. Don't ask to a grad student: When are you completing your degree? Please come up with better questions.

7. Make sure you know the difference between herd vaccination (which is meant to protect one from infectious disease) and herd stupidity (...fill in the blank...).

8. Next day will be a better day. This advice might not be true all the time but it teaches you to look forward.

9. Look at the colors of other people's clothes, find hair style you like, relish those unknown smiles, smell the air even when it is really cold outside, laugh out loud when you slip on sleets despite the pain - such is the power of the present. Soon you start to lose focus from the haunting past.
