I'm saying I'm a graduate student
Why are you telling me this, are you really a graduate student?
No, I just said that to look cool and innovative/innovative and cool.
You shouldn't tell people things that aren't true. You shouldn't misrepresented yourself like that.
I'm a progressive realist. I have principles but I focus on possible applications.
Being a progressive realist does not mean you have to lie about being a graduate student. I feel like you're constantly mislabeling yourself and it is not okay, as you will end up one day having to deal with these lies and end up seeing the mess you have caused, and you will regret it. I hope you change your ways and just be honest with people and your friends that you will deal with in life.
