Just spent 4 hours doing the very scary thing of showing up to a hyper specific event all alone and talking to people to try to find a grad school advisor. Very scary and may or may not have been useful!

#if it works out it will all be worth it #but I was one of two undergrads there for the first two hours and everybody else was a phd student ir career in this field #which is so very specific that I would instantly dox myself by specifying lol #so obviously everybody there knew everybody else very well and instantly grouped up #thankfully two people did their most to get me started on a conversation and introduce me to relevant people #so I may have found one program and there’s somebody else who might know people #so it’s a start. the hardest part is getting people to know I exist and recognize me #and now that I have a couple people to do the connections part it should be easier
