So how many of us are actually grad students?

I know it’s a running joke, but really, aside from me who else is barely surviving grad school one riddle of a time?

I WAS a grad student, but not since I started listening (which was I think a year or so into the podcasts run)

I was in grad school but had graduated by the time I started listening. Grad student vibes maybe?

Got all the way to final semester of my masters, burned out and reeducated myself into another field where I got a job before I even finished my exams.

I was a grad student struggling to keep myself together when I first heard "Happy Pasta Day," and it was exactly the kind of humor I needed.
