I don’t know who needs to hear this but your PhD doesn’t need to be perfect. It just needs to be finished.

In academia we don’t say ‘I love you’ we say ‘no corrections required’, and I think that’s beautiful.

I was the opposite. I was NEVERRRR getting a masters..but with my Bachelor's I was gonna make $30k/year. Canceled my PhD apps in the final spring of my Masters because I didn't need to be doctor. By October, I applied to exactly two programs, partially because I never wanted to take the GRE again.

When you were doing an undergrad, you wanted to do a masters. When you did a masters, you wanted to do a PhD. Now you’re doing a PhD, you want to be a cat.
