6am thoughts. So if one becomes a vampire when one has a few extra rolls, one will not be able to ever remove them anymore, right? One is stuck with them rolls for eternity, right?

Thinking about adding an acknowledge to the people I emailed for some form of help in the research and ignored me. #Thanksanyway #Didnotneedyouafterall #stillmanagedwithoutyourhelp #phdlife #studentlife

When an ad tries to fool me into thinking that the woman on the left is an XXL. If she’s an XXL then what am I, a family-of-four-tent-L? Come on you makers of clothes, do better! #WorldObesityDay #clothingsizessuck

Technology: testing the hearts of doctoral researchers since… #whencomputerssuddenlyshutdown #heartstoppedforasecond #phdlife

At the beginning of my doctoral journey, I was warned about burnout and finding it hard to cope. Well, here I am, wishing I could get back the energy I had two years ago. #phdlife #sendhelp #burnedout #tired #mybrainhasleftthebuilding

Ph.D. viva possible questions

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

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

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

In my “I’m ok, I guess” era.

Conference takeaway/tip part 3: if you’re asked to present, at least try to get the Conference title right. #conference #tipsforlife #phdlife
