lmao most of the tax cuts expire after 2027 and are ballooning the deficit, lowering healthcare coverage, and increasing healthcare costs in the meantime and after. truly a big brain moment for you

How does college work?
I want to eventually learn all that I can learn, get a PhD, and work in research and development. But the more time I spend in college, the more I feel like I don't know what college is or if I'm doing anything right. From what I understand, I have to get my Master's degree first, and my advisor told me that I have to speak to one of the professors in the biology department to apply for the Master's program. I don't know what they mean by "program" or why I have to "apply" and not simply just register, or what I need to do for my application to be accepted, or what I'm going to be doing as part of the "program" at all. Also, what do I need to say to the professor? What do I ask them?
I also was told that I need to do research to get my bachelor's degree before I can get my Master's degree, and I don't know how to do that. I talked to one of the biology professors and asked them if I could do research with them. He told me that he normally doesn't want students working in his lab if they can't be there for several years, and I'm a senior with only one semester left. I told him that I still have classes that I need to take and will be here for at least one more year, and that I was pursuing my Masters degree, and he said he would consider it and that I should contact him shortly before the start of the spring semester. What will the research involve? What do I say to him when I contact him? How was I supposed to do the research normally?
I assume the PhD involves something similar and I don't know what that is. Also, what's a thesis, and how, when, why, and in what way do I do one?
I have always gotten consistently above-average grades in all my classes, so the content itself is not the problem; I just never really understood the syntax behind the educational programs themselves and I feel completely lost.

Feels good being a classical intellectual who sees beauty in every traditional field of study. Specialization elitism is for brainlets.

what's the easiest way to memorize/derive the unit circle to solve inverse trig functions?
