PhD Dropout

I’ve done it again. I’ve created a blog.

Is this a good idea? Probably not.

Am I going to do it anyway? Absolutely.

I realize some people may have additional questions, so I’ve created this FAQ. Here we go:

Why should I read this blog?

You definitely should not read this blog.

Really?

I mean, ok. I’d love for you to read it, but I’m not going to try and sell you on it.

Why is it called “PhD Dropout”?

Because I thought it was catchy. And, also I dropped out of a PhD program. Plenty of stories to come on that eventful chapter of my life.

How often will you post?

No idea. Probably a lot at first. As often as I can.

What’s the point of this blog?

I have stories to share and need an outlet for my thoughts. It’s also a way to process the past several years of my life while laughing at my own jokes.

What are the critics saying?
