(Side Note: I wasn’t one of those…I was in the “vacillates between over-caffeinated and slightly (ok, moderately) drunk boat” through grad school myself)

However, in the clarity that hindsight undoubtedly provides, I realized he was actually borderline genius. Among the many wisdom-bombs he dropped on us during our two-year stint, the one that has stuck with me the most is the phrase “Don’t Should on Yourself.”
