#phdlife

Want to be more active on Tumblr now that I'm writing my thesis chapters. I find myself gravitating towards Tumblr's authenticity rather than content exaggeration of other platforms.

Please appreciate this chap I've seen in the St John's College in Cambridge (I was in the area for a job interview and was doing some touristy things; this is my best picture of the trip by far).

*pulls out materials from 2 years ago* is this still good for a paper

some non-aesthetic stuff to match this non-aesthetic late night work!

i’m preparing to send a paper proposal and my desk has become a major source of disarray because i’ve been trying to find data i collected what feels like a thousand years ago. it’s crazy how quickly time goes by!

hopefully this results in them approving my proposal 👍🏻👍🏻 #praying

daily to do:

organise bibliography

send emails (urgh)

write abstract

Ever wondered what the PhD journey really looks like? Here’s a simple visual that breaks it down into 5 clear stages — from Topic Selection to Final Defense.

Each step takes you closer to your research goals and academic success! 💡
