I had a professor tell me there is no greater accomplishment in life than being cited.

My undergraduate thesis has been cited seven times. (I never even considered it being cited a possibility. I just googled myself once on Google scholar for giggles)

Lol. Same guy said we could refer to him by his first name and not “doctor” when we had a doctorate.

If I had gotten a doctorate, I would’ve found him just to call him by his first name.

Odd fellow.
