Any advice on what to think when she comes into my head? Or what do when I get an urge to look her up online? As much as I am trying to push her out of my head, that warm nervous fuzzy feeling of whenever I'd see her in class just keeps coming back. Maybe just distraction?
Wait so you already finished your master's but you are going to be surrounded by the same professor you have a crush on? Is this like your advisor in the PhD program? How have you dealt with this?
and I can almost relate. While I haven't gone through graduate school yet, I also don't see much else to life outside of school. School is all I know, and the world of careers outside of it seems terrifying. Without a project or class to work on, I have no idea what I'd do with myself. The idea of just working a job to make money seems so incredibly fulfilling to me. I just hope I end up picking the right PhD program. I am pushing for berkeley or cornell, so right now I am just trying to occupy myself with experience that would look good on an application.

I'm going back to school for three years and I'll be spending ample amounts of time alone and in general around the professor I have a crush on.
And as far as post-graduate depression goes, I was horribly depressed before I even finished my masters and I'm depressed about graduation before I even START my doctorate. For me, my life ends after school. I've known nothing else and my only hope is to stay in school by becoming a professor. But since that's practically impossible even though I'll be focusing on 3-4 areas in my department, my life probably is over…nothing else to live for. So you're not the only one to feel this way. If our economy were only good enough that people could make a living, especially if they spend most of their life becoming an expert in their field, then maybe there would be a reason to continue living after graduation.
