A graduate student trying to get through, one day at a time. This is just a place for me to express my angry, depressed, (rarely) happy, & sarcastic thoughts.

How did you get through the first stage of your academic life, which was full of anxiety, stress and failures, and cross it into successes?

I finished my PhD about 2 months ago, and I just want to share that:
*I spent >5 of 6yrs convinced that I was uniquely behind or lost or dumb
*I worked 50+hrs some weeks but 15 others
*Rest and hobbies helped my science
Struggling doesn't mean you don't belong.

Almost every grad student I know is depressed or burned out.
Here are 5 small things I use to trick myself into having a better work day.

I forget at least 6 times a day that I am incredibly young & still have so much time to accomplish what I want to.

Love yourself. But also analyze and be critical of how you think, act & behave. Self love without self awareness is useless. Be accountable.

Thinking about pursuing a career outside academia can feel scary, like a betrayal, or an admission that you've wasted a lot of time & money.
Your feelings are valid, but that doesn't mean you need to let them stop you from doing what's only wise given academic labour realities.

Question: I frequently hear “Do you want to die on that hill?” Which is valid but I want to know “We are all going to die somewhere, which hill do you want to die on?” @DisInGradSchool @GradStudentTho1 #phdchat @DisabledAcadem #phdlife #PhDVoice #nesvoid

Is there anyone in the community who would be open to talking to me about chances of success for applying to grad school and ways to improve the likelihood of a 1st attempt admission #gradschool @PhD_Genie @PhDVoice @PhDForum @GradStudentTho1 @EliteSchoolHub
