spending a lot of time with people who know a lot more than you do and who speak in intense Academic Jargon like it’s a different language, and then randomly starting to hear yourself sounding exactly like them sometimes when you talk, is very weird and very cool. 10/10 recommend. i am convinced that Smart and Intimidating people got that way bc they hung out a lot with Smart and Intimidating people

Today i was thinking about this exact thing. I was just talking about my research with my advisor but I was listening to myself talk and I was like… damn look at me go, being a scientist and having valid ideas. #growth
