Grad School Advice #2

Here's my second bit of grad school related advice:

You will feel stupid much of the time that you are in grad school.

Sure, grad students can be snooty wankers, but it's because they're insecure. Why are they insecure? Because all day long senior faculty are telling them how little they know in between assigning them 80 books to read. It's painful and daunting. But, if you do go to grad school, know that everyone else there feels as stupid as you do.
