Graduate school is tough. Burnout is very possible. People come in thinking that it's basically continuation of undergrad (being asked "are you still in school? How's that going?")…

The concept is interesting and creative but I also think it's just repackaging the problem it's trying to address but using a different element as the datum. This adds an additiona…

His youtube channel started out as him just rambling to the camera about his problems and how absurd it is. It's grown since then as people have been following it. His channel is b…

Similar boat as you. I bought the Pixel 2 XL and am still rocking it to this day. I just happen to be living in the States. I think I'll be going for the 5, but the 4a does give me…
