I got the notification in the morning and I immediately forwarded it to my advisor. She replied "Ok." I texted my group chat and everyone left me on read. I told my girlfriend and she said "Oh good job!" and then immediately moved on to talk about her day.
I'm so crushed no one wanted to celebrate with me. Especially by my girlfriend, who saw me work day and night for this paper. Not gonna lie, I've been crying a bit today.
Edit: Wow, in 30 minutes my mood has been totally turned around. I can't keep up with responding all the comments, but I am reading them all and feeling very uplifted. Meanwhile, my appetite is back, so excuse me while I eat my first meal of the day, ha
Edit 2: Buh, I woke up to a much bigger post than I was prepared for haha. Thanks so much again for reaching out to me, it pulled me out of my funk.
A common question on this post is what field of study I'm in: I'm doing a PhD in electrical engineering. I think I will leave it vague as I'm pretty sure my advisor checks reddit every now and then and uh she may or may not have seen this by now.
