Spring Break 2014 has just come and passed. While this is a time for most undergrads to get away from campus, it’s a time for grad students like me to stick around and get work done. This is what it looks like.

Hanna Erickson, MD, PHD 
i was about to get super mad when I saw the picture that others schools actually give spring break for their grad students lol. The worst part is people asking me “what are you going to do for spring break?” my response usually is “what is spring break?” I sound so bitter lol
Haha nope! I just like to think that I’m funny by calling it a break. 🙂 I actually prefer to be on campus during breaks since there’s no undergrads so it’s more peaceful!
it is really peaceful when everyone is gone. I don’t have to fight with other people to get my lunch even. oh a life of a grad student. which year of your MD/PhD training are u in?
I’m in my first year. 🙂 What about you?
exactly 🙂 I have always skipped lunch for the same reason – to have the lab empty when all the others are eating.
that is exciting. I am finishing my PhD now, will be MS1 in the fall.
