Well, the problem is that I will be very tired and want to sleep but still need to put in a few hours of work, so what I am really looking for is a way to get a second wind before I go to sleep or finish for the day. Sleeping several hours messes with my sleep schedule, but my thinking is that getting a small nap and…

I'm a graduate student working on my PhD, so I don't have a set sleeping schedule. That being said, I am almost always tired as I don't get enough sleep. The best way for me to keep my energy up is taking naps, but sometimes I end up groggier than when I went to sleep.

Necessity is the mother of invention

Lol, nice.

Conspiracy theorists will always need something to cling to. First it was the JFK assassination, then it was the Moon landing, then it was the "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" fiasco (kidding) and now this.

I'm sorry but I can't get over how this guy talks.

In a sense you are right that letting a fire completely burn reduces its potential to burn again in the future, but you aren't taking into consideration is that the fire isn't isolated and the burn potential of surrounding timber and grass is greater than the burn potential of half-burned timber and grass. They put…

And Acai Berry!

I immediately thought of this...

Most people don't realize it but every social fraternity and sorority has a philanthropy chair as well as a nationally recognized "pet" charity. Ours was, at first, Pediatric Aids and then the Alzheimer's Association. We also volunteered in canned food drives as well as volunteered hours and time to other…

What about the 3-D Doritos. Too extreme man, too extreme.

You are right that correlation does not equal causation (even though sometimes it can, as correlations are precursors to attempting to prove causation), but then again the university won't let me run experiments on students controlling for education and motivation and putting them into levels of required attendance…

It's entirely possible to do it all. The great side-effect is that you'll end up having some strong time management skills :)

Haha, it reminds me of EXTREEEEMEEEEE Doritos and everything else from the mid 1990's to early 2000's. Remember Nacho CHEESIER? COOLER Ranch? I hear you have to own a skateboard to be able to eat them.

One way to address #3 is to orient yourself to a job that is applicable to your degree. On-job experience is just as valuable as a degree.

As a TA I can confirm that people who go to office hours get a lot more out of the class as well as tend to do better. Unfortunately, the people who need the help the most never go to office hours unless they want to plead for their grade.

I agree here, although I am in a situation where I work more now in graduate school so by comparison undergraduate seemed like a breeze.

Office Hours - As someone who is a PhD student and has TA'ed for many years I can tell you that we enjoy you coming to our office hours to learn more and we remember the people that put in the extra effort to do well in the class. Unfortunately, the people that need to come to office hours never do until the last two…

To be fair, 64 cases over a 3 year period (2007 through 2009) so that actual number is 21.3333 cases on average per 20 billion hot dogs. That makes your number even smaller.
