In my “I’m ok, I guess” era.

Inspiration sometimes comes in waves - after 4 months struggling in a trough, I’m finally back on a crest. #phdlife #phdstudent #struggles

[TheGeriatricStudent @CBartoloTab]

@AndreaPerino1 Agreed. Still, it’s amazing how walking away from your project sometimes actually jumpstarts your ideas. :)

[TheGeriatricStudent @CBartoloTab]

Sometimes you sit at your desk for hours and nothing happens. And then you’re washing dishes and listening to your favorite series in the background and boom! #phdlife #nevergiveup #itwillcometoyou

Conference takeaways part 2: If you can’t be bothered with the proceedings, take a nap, twiddle your thumbs, plan your next holiday, but please, whatever you do, keep quiet! #phdlife #conference #tipsforlife

@Sarah_Everett12 @ThePhDPlace Although one of my co-supervisors did offer to meet any time I feel the need.

@ThePhDPlace Surviving, thanks. You?

Who else feels guilty when reading books that are not related to their PhD? And the to-be-read pile keeps growing… #phdlife #phdstudent #guilt

[TheGeriatricStudent @CBartoloTab]

@erisahasani3 I would be happy with a book budget 😅

[TheGeriatricStudent @CBartoloTab]

Today is a good day. Progress is being made. Good thing I didn’t give up the million times I wanted to. #phdlife #inspirationcomesinbursts #donotquit #NeverGiveUp

[TheGeriatricStudent @CBartoloTab]

I have a list of stuff I want to do and books I want to read when I’m finished from my PhD. I’m sure I won’t do any of it anyway. #phdlife #makinglists #thefuturelooksbleak

[TheGeriatricStudent @CBartoloTab]

By the end of this project, I’ll have amassed a veritable library of books no one else will want or need. Oh well, at least my shelves will be full #phdlife #buyingbooks #need_sponsors #oldandpoor

[TheGeriatricStudent @CBartoloTab]

Life it too short. Book that holiday. Go to that concert. Finish that damn dissertation! #phdlife #student_philosophy #lifeisshort #onlythegooddieyoung

[TheGeriatricStudent @CBartoloTab]

Is it even a degree unless it comes with frustration, a constant feeling of inadequacy, a couple of breakdowns, and the recurrent need to balance regret with the desire to succeed? #phdlife #phd #stress

[Happy Researchers @hapyresearchers]

Ph.D. viva possible questions

[TheGeriatricStudent @CBartoloTab]

Finally feeling like I’m making progress again. Crisis averted. #phdlife #upsanddowns #studentlife #researcherblocksucks
