I've had a perpetual breakout of zits on my chin all term. This issue has been quite exasperating to me as I am 28 and should not be having acne like someone half my age. The cause of this problem has alluded me until recently. I have realized that large portions of my day are being spent hunched over a desk, reading, with my chin in my hand. Therefore, my pores are likely being blocked up by all the skin oils I'm rubbing all over my face. Brilliant.

How's that for a scientific hypothesis? Look what has academia done to me!

Now, excuse my while I apply my daily dose of zit cream. (An exercise in futility.)

[There will be no pictures to supplement this posting, thank you very much. Just picture your own adolescent skin and that's what I look like.]

Ah, grad student-face! I know it well. Combined with post-partum hormones...well, my face wasn't too hot for a while, either.

At least you aren't balding!
