The types of grad students as depicted by Disney characters: the second thread.
Flynn Rider. The grad students who think they are gifts to the department, spend half of class interrupting the professor to show off how “smart” they are, and provide unhelpful feedback during presentations. They also brag about how many pubs they have. 0/10
Olaf. The grad students who don’t seem to have a care in the world. Also take 8+ years to finish the program. 5/10
Meeko. The grad students who only seem to show up when there is free food involved 
6/10

Emperor Kuzco, llama edition. These grad students pleasantly surprise you with their feisty attitude and are unphased by criticism. 8/10
Stitch. These grad students seem a little odd at first, but we all grow to love them. 10/10
Woody. These grad students are team players and really supportive, especially to younger grad students. Always willing to sit down and help when you need it. 14/10
The Piglets. These grad students tend to worry a lot, but really they just need a supportive advisor to help keep them grounded. Also anxiety is real in grad school. #MentalHealthMatters! 11/10
The Pinocchios. These grad students are just full of bs. The end. -1/10
Baby Yoda. The prodigies. These grad students seem to effortlessly be all around successful students and will go on to getting a tenure-track position straight out of grad school. We are all a little jelly of them. 9/10
Prince John. The easily offended graduate students. You never know what will set these students off...tread lightly my friends. -2/10
The Tick-Tock Croc. These grad students like to antagonize/joke around with the professors in their departments. Sometimes because they are a little too friendly and sometimes because they are just bored. 3/10
The Bimbettes. The grad students who are really cliquey in grad school. Like come on. This isn’t high school anymore. -3/10
Mulan. These grad students tell gender norms to F off and fight back against the sexist dynamics in their departments. 13/10
These stereotypes are all in good fun of course and exaggerations. Grad school can be brutal and either bring the best or the worst out in us. Feel free to comment below with your own experiences with other grad students (positive or negative)!
Clarification on the Prince Johns:
Ya’ll ever have a student in your department that is just trying to fight you on anything you say? Like it doesn’t matter if it’s a theory or your experimental design or the type of sandwich you brought to class these students just hate it all
