On: PhD candidate made a skirt out of rejection letters

[mbauman]

Did you read the article? She wore the skirt as she defended her thesis. FTA:

> She defended her Ph.D. dissertation in the handcrafted regalia, not in spite, but to show that rejection is a natural part of the process in achieving goals.

[lacampbell → mbauman]

I did, and I think she doth protest too much.

Again, picture the picture-fedora. What if the dude told you "it's just a natural part of the process of achieving goals" ? Would you think to yourself "wow there's a well rounded individual who handled that well"? Or would you think he was a fucking weirdo?

[mbauman → lacampbell]

Why do you think your analogy is at all comparable?

[elliekelly → lacampbell]

Don't forget the part where you "assess whether it warrants an adaption"
