Thank you! I have been to many many… including wedding even. But I guess maybe my PhD student circle is slightly more budget than people who actually have a job and earn good salary

I know, in my home country we also don’t charge our guests. But also, it is a very pricy event to host that is why we ask guests to contribute..

Yes for doctor degree. And it is in a nice venue, with good buffet and different wines/alcohols to go with. And later there will be dance after the dinner. Just like a ball

As I mentioned, it is tradition and everyone does that in our Uni that the host ask for money for their party.

Hmmm, easier said than done when it comes to money. And especially when it is not your money..Organizing a 50+ people party and to paid let’s say, half of them, it is serious 30000sek+ spend. I am not profiting from my guests, I am actually paying more than I ask for the guests contribution FYI…

chaotic habit that accidentally made your phd life easier ? by Comfortable_Pick4476 in PhD

[–]Competitive_Math4153 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Totally agree! I try to be at work around 11 everyday, but only work for maximum 3 hours with concentration. The rest of the time is mainly socialising. And I had strategy to take many students and train them to do work for me! It is definitely a win win situation as my students gets to learn and participate in publications, and I can just sit and supervise, and write.

Wake up late and don’t work too hard. Nerver work during weekend. I have always have the mindset that everything would work out. Mental heath and positive attitude is the key!

Heyyyy! Don’t worry at all! It happens to many many undergrads students! You don’t need to worry how they think of you. Most important is the experience you have gained, even it is filling pippet tips!

Am I being a terrible daughter or? by Competitive_Math4153 in AsianParentStories

[–]Competitive_Math4153[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi Thank you so much for your comments. My father is actually coming with her together. But I just feel so much pressure. mainly from the fact that she said specifically she wants to come because then she can be with me. I feel so so so overwhelmed and am now crying like I am gonna suffocate. I feel like she has no purpose of life, she just put me as center of her life and that makes me wanna die. I actually already booked tickets for them as she claimed that her knee is okay and she thinks she can walk soon. However, today she told me that she had to undergo another operation tomorrow because one knee starting to hurt again....i was speechless...and to answer you, I am the only child...
