More thoughts every* PhD student has

If you haven’t read the first list of thoughts every* PhD students have go here,

*Obviously as I always say I can not speak on behalf of ALL PhD students.

1. Situation: When asked what you are going to do after a PhD:

Ummmmmmmmmm…….I genuinely feel like I will be doing this forever so I can’t even think about that

 

2. Situation: When you forget how to ‘sum’ in excel:

It must be home time- tell me again how I got into a PhD

 

3. Situation: When you realise it is nearly the end of second year

F&%K

 

4. Situation: When its 2:30 on a Wednesday & everything is going wrong

How many barista made coffees and sweets can I buy until my savings run out?

 

5. Situation: When it’s 40 degrees

Ain’t it good that I can work from home…in bed… under the aircon

 

6. Situation: When you graph some results

*tears of happiness*

 

7. Situation: When a fellow PhD student hands in their PhD:

Oh, so there is an end…..

It is a routine you’re used to, and despite thinking you dislike the thought of school, it is something we enjoy in the long run. Depending on when you decide to stop education, you’ll find leaving it rather tricky. A lot of people carry on to further education, which whilst opens so many doors, presents a few unique problems of its own. This is what we’re going to explore for you today. […]
