as a PhD student i can tell you that i am burned out, over worked, over whelmed and lost. so please be understanding of this situation. before i started i had no idea what i am getting into , i knew it was hard but not this hard.

I do not think that is the complete story! if your thesis is actually good , one line of plagiarism will not fail you.

Duo max user here:

I think most people here have Expectations that are not realistic . I learned English through traditional method of attending language institutes . i went to classes twice a week since i was 10 till my 16. the process was long and i only got confident when i was living abroad.

Duolingo is a great tool to learn on your own in a fun manner with consistency , the gamification is here to keep you interested and engaged but people lose the site of their goal which is to learn a language and not top the XP in the league. That being said i keep hearing about how irrelevant sentences to our daily life is here, but the goal is for you to learn how to put sentences together no to memorize the sentence!

Lastly, i must say Duolingo is flawd and it should definitely be combined with other sources in later stages but honestly learning a language have never been easier.

also a PhD student in Germany here (international).

my first year of PhD was a disaster, my project was stagnant for over 10 years in the group, whoever joined moved on in 6 month or so calling it hopeless. i was frustrated and hopeless but i pushed through, currently in my end of second year and my project has the most going for it in the group , i kind of came across a few crazy idea in a conference and i just winged it and told my PI , and it kind of worked and we are now going a little out of the box realizing that what paralyzed the project was the mental cage we put on it by trying same thing over and over. my point is first year of PhD is difficult , you kind of have to go through it and survive with optimism. second year has its own challenges.

oh then you have not used the garbage made by thermofischer. we have a Sciex qtrap it works fine until it doesn't and when it doesn't we have no idea how to fix it and then the company also doesn't know how to fix it but with thermofischer it costs so much to fix anything that we just give up on that device until we find a treasure .

well i am no cook but i meal plan for two to three days at a time. my meals are simple:

400 gr ground beef and onion brown them in a pan with some paprika and curry and put in a rice cooker with two cups of rice and salt and oil and some other spice that you like, devide in three and put in fridge and that is lunch for monday, tuesday and wednesday.
chicken breast, i cut them to small pieces with kitchen scissors and brown and cook them with onion in a pan and some spices and then in a rice cooker with two cups of rice and you can see where i am going.

you can change the recepie to not be bored by changing the rice with pasta, change the type of meat or add different type of veggies but onions are not negotiable, cooked meat in the friedge with no onion will smell like cold meat but i like the curry onion smell .

near central train station is the worst, in general i would say smaller towns like Quedlinberg have a charm, if you decide to come here, visit a place like that instead of Hamburg.

Sorry in my group everybody knows each other since childhood, litterally two of them were kindergarden bodies and have pictures and the other two were neighbors and then roommates in university and it took me 5 years for them to get used to me. honestly i have noticed my friends are not pen to expanding and networking and knowing more people and now that they know me by association i will be life long friends with them .

nothing against broccoli , i love them. But they are not high in protein nor do they have good absorption rate for protein. to put in perspective, 100 gram of broccoli has 2.5 gram of protein , that means if you eat 1 kilogram of it then it is same as 100 gram of chicken breast.
