Hi all, I literally did nothing wrong and my account was cancelled immediately. I’m unsure of what even happened. I didn’t have a previous account, I was truthful, no criminal history or anything lol I have zero clue! Has this happened to anyone else?

I saw a job posting that aligns (pun intended?) perfectly with my experience so I was very excited to join! I received a “Welcome!” and “Your account has been deactivat!ed” email within the hour. 😭

I am so sad over it lol. I did my undergrad and MS at the same school and I had already taken many of the hydrology classes. However, none were very technical, it was basic watershed science classes. Lots of reading, learning about methods without really doing much of methods.

So I was excited to do my MS in order to gain some technical skill and dive deeper into hydrology but I ended up being funded by a climate project. I ended up taking more GIS classes, tons of required seminars, and that was that. 0 hydrology coursework for me. They counted the ones I took in undergrad for the concentration.

Now I am struggling because I don’t have a degree in meteorology so I’m under qualified for the more climate science roles but I also feel lost with hydrology cause I haven’t worked with water data in over 4 years! But I basically have a freaking degree in hydrology!! I’m THE imposter. Can I pick up water modeling or ANYTHING of the sort on my own? I’m so upset this is how things turned out for me. I don’t even know where to start…

I used to be on a project almost 2 years ago working as a climate science expert and it was so much fun. I’m just wondering if any projects currently exist out there that are semi related to that field.

Eeek. I keep overthinking every little thing I've written. I have to send it out to them today because I am in a time-crunch and my defense will probably be in about 3 weeks. I just finished the abstract and I hate it, I even tinkered with the idea of giving it to chatgpt to help me refine things but wasn't sure if it would make matters worse. I will still have time to do some revisions/edits if needed afterwards before formally submitting it but ah idk im just overthinking everything and feel like my figures suck too LOL.

I don’t mean a % off code but maybe have some products on sale again or something perhaps? I’m unsure if it’s something they usually do and wondering if anyone has any insight!

I want to buy foundation and debating whether going for the point multiplier today or waiting to see if other things go on sale lol.

I’ve been solely buying my makeup at Sephora but with my $100 rogue reward, I’m wondering…what’s actually worth it at Sephora? I used to think mascara was the only thing not worth it but my Tarte one changed my mind.

Are skin tints and foundations really that much better at Sephora? Bronzer? I’d love everyone’s input! 💖🫶🏼

Will delete this in 15 min but go for it!! 💖🌷💖

I still have to defend my thesis next month but I’m already mourning the process!!

No more researching, no more being paid to research LOL, this sucks! My masters was the easiest schooling experience for me. I love to learn, I’m even taking one more class over the summer just to get a science class in cause I’m thinking of doing a meteorology program. Idk. Just keeping my doors open but has anyone else felt this way? Am I just scared to enter the actual workforce? Help? 😭

It was the highest paying one I’ve been offered and I was invited to do a task on the pilot to test out further if I qualify (after passing the qualification, which I spent 2 hours on!).

I was excited I passed the initial qualification to begin with but didn’t have the chance to start it yesterday and it said to “check it out sometime in the week” so I assumed it’d still be there today…crying. 😭😭😭😭

It’s silly but I’m nervous! It’s almost become a tradition for women to graduate and wear a white dress. Year after year (I’ve been going to the same school for 4 years, undergrad + masters) I’ve seen gorgeous girls wear white dresses for their grad photo shoots around this time of year. It looks really nice! However, another part of me has always wanted to wear a pink dress to have my Elle Woods moment because she really drove home my love of pink and how to carry myself as a feminine woman in whatever situation. I love femininity, I love pink!

I think the reason I’m so torn is because I’ve never done the usual, traditional stuff. I didn’t have a traditional college experience, I didn’t join clubs, I didn’t even make college friends (yup), I’d just go to class and run home afterwards lol. So I think like for one day maybe I could just be a typical college girl and wear the white dress, have that ONE experience. I already have so many regrets over my college years and wish I had done more. But I don’t know if the white dress is true to me! But I think it’d be nice to have one typical college girl experience since I have none! That’ll make my heart happy too, like yay I at least did one thing lol. And yes I’m posting here for advice cause I have no friends LOL. Both dresses are the same style just in light pink or white.

So can any kind girls tell me what they’d do in my shoes? Any advice?? TIA. 🌸🥹

Hi all! I keep breaking down over this, I don't know where to turn to and this community has always been so kind to me before with RPW topics and full of intelligent women so I thought it'd be the perfect place.

I (28F) met my boyfriend (27FM) at the start of our last year of undergrad and we've been inseparable since. We've been together for 3.5 years now, I moved in with him a year in when we graduated college and we stayed in his moms studio at his childhood home. We both applied for our masters in the same department again and moved back down and have been living together in our own studio for almost 2 years now! All of this to say...we've been together in close quarters (not even a wall to separate us lmao!), going to school together, I've been wfh when he's been in a fellowship that prohibits him from getting a job, so we've been pretty much 24/7 with each other for the last few years. We do have weekends away 2x a month when I go visit my dads but other than that, we basically do everything together (minus when he's away for a conference, goes out with his friends, etc).

Anyways sorry for the long backstory but now that we're graduating in less than a month, it's officially time to "get in the real world" and get jobs that will take up much more of our time. And honestly, I am so sad. He tells me it'll be great to have more money coming in and we will have actual job money and while that sounds nice, I wouldn't trade that for spending less time with him. Sure, we're broke college students, but I've never felt like we go without anything. I know it's inevitable, I've cherished every single day we've had together and these years of taking it easier, but I'm still scared of how this might change our relationship. That's without mentioning the anxiety of ACTUALLY getting hired for a job and getting away from school after it being my life for the last decade. I'm trying so hard to not be stuck on the past and just wish we could turn back two years and to just enjoy every step of the journey.

I guess what I'm looking for is any tips, advice, comments, anything from anyone whose experienced anything similar. Graduating and integrating into a more solid job structure, being away more from your partner, etc. I'm a creature of habit so I apologize if any of this sounds silly or immature, I'm aware I've been so blessed so far but I'm trying to not break down over it feeling like its all coming to an end and only doom awaits...

I’m not an atmospheric sciences major so I’m kind of feeling sad over probably not being offered a position there once it’s over (and that’s without mentioning the obvious current landscape…). However, I’m trying to remain hopeful since it’ll still be a great experience! I’m doing remote sensing and GIS work there (which is what my masters is in) and working with weather balloon data (?).

Anything I should know or be prepared for? I’m so excited and nervous! My mentor provided me a really nice game-plan of what I’ll be doing for the 3 months which is a good sign I think (my grad school advisor is saying they usually don’t do that lol).

Thanks so much in advance!!
