Writer, teacher, PhD candidate, former web dev, and villain

No one likes me and that may be good

During my PhD, I have been concerned and a little jealous that I haven’t been able to connect personally with any of my professors. I am either their age or older, I live an hour away, and, to be fair, I don’t have the best personality. But when I see other students getting asked for favors, or editing, or other research work, I wonder what I’m missing out on and how that will affect me in the long run.

Lately, as I watch my colleague being taken advantage of by a professor with favors and tasks while not fulfilling their part of the deal, I’m a wee bit grateful that I am ignored. I AM VERY MAD AT THIS SITUATION BECAUSE MY COLLEAGUE DESERVES SO MUCH BETTER.

Heather is a writer, teacher, and PhD candidate trying her best. When she’s not procrastinating, she’s starting new stories, watching old science fiction films, and talking to anyone who will listen about the joy of writing. She is a secret K-pop fan and otaku and is worried you’re not getting enough fiber. She battles ADHD, ennui, and capitalism when she’s not playing Minecraft. It’s possible that she’s is actually three juvenile raccoons in a raincoat.
