<p>Hello I'm coming in as a physics grad student.</p>
<p>Anyone else a grad? I'm 21!!! I feel so old.</p>
<p>Anyone else prepared to be bludgeoned by work their first year while the undergrad freshman have it (relatively) easier? Also why'd you pick UCR? I wanted to go out west. And all the UC's are model institutes for physics. I applied to berkely, UCI, UCSD, UCR, and UCSC. All but UCI rejected me, and I like riverside...oh well. </p>
<p>On a side note, does anyone feel that they can read PhD comics without guilt now?</p>
<p>I am in a similar situation as you except that I am graduating from UC Riverside and will be attending grad school somewhere else. Like you, I am a bit envious of all the incoming freshmen and wish that I was able to repeat my years as a new student. I really do think that we don't know what we have until it's gone. </p>
