Grad School, or Adulthood

Now that I've finished a year of graduate school, I feel like I can come to some conclusions (misguided) about it.

1. At some point, most people will get married and have children. I know this because most of the oldies (30+) are married and many of them have small children.

2. Old people (30+) can party pretty hard.

3. Undergrad was easy.

4. Once you turn 30, get married, and have kids, you put on weight pretty quickly.

5. There is no relation between age, work experience, or familial status and maturity (see 2).

6. Grad school is neither as easy as it seems nor as hard as some make it out to be.

7. Despite being well into adulthood, some people, even oldies (30+) act like children. They throw temper tantrums, complain about stupid stuff, and make dumb comments in front of their colleagues-to-be (see 5).


I guess this turned out to be more about adulthood than grad school. Mainly I've realized that it is a state of mind, and one many have chosen not to accept (myself included).
