It’s probably no secret by now that I’m a GradHacker addict.

Today they released an entry that so expressed what I’ve felt in my experience thusfar in academia that I believe that any attempt I made at elaborating upon the subject would only pale in comparison to the original entry.

The topic was “sucstress” :

“Sucstress can strike whenever we are so used to rejection or things going poorly, and as a result, we don’t know how to handle success when it finally does comes“

Be still my heart.  It’s certainly something special to know that the insecurities we feel are common to many.
