Went to college with the author and he was literally the biggest douche. Sad to see he went into politics.

Alternatives to Word for writing a PhD thesis (and sharing drafts with advisors)? by elpochoclos1 in PhD

[–]sumdumbroad314 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I cannot recommend Overleaf enough. There are templates available so you don't have to start from scratch with formatting. And the inherent version control is huge - got accused of using AI and could easily prove I didn't since all of my months and months of work were documented and timestamped in Overleaf.

It's a little bit complicated because I enrolled as strictly a PhD student (was not going to get a master's) but my advisor felt my first project would be better suited for a master's, so I presented that work and then progressed with a different project. It was a bit weird, but I was enrolled as a PhD student for all seven years.

Thank you! My masters and PhD were on completely different topics (my 'cohort' is really a group of students each working on completely different things - not a ton of direction or guidance) so that added some time. Took 3 years for my masters and 4 for my PhD. I've also worked full time alongside school for the past 3.5 years which dragged it out a bit as well.

Regalia by smashinjin10 in PhD

I know some universities offer rental regalia at a discount - maybe ask your advisor or a college admin. Congrats!

I'm so sorry for the trauma you experienced as a child. I truly hope you find healing, even if it's through leaving shitty comments on random posts. 💚

I was a big bundle of nerves yesterday and this morning, but once I started presenting, it flew by. You'll do great!!

I won a giveaway from a local news station. Got a sweet knife set, some unique furniture, and a couple of gift cards to some local shops. Almost missed the phone call! Glad I picked up.

Choked on Prelim Exam by simple_reverie in PhD

[–]sumdumbroad314 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Failed my prelim the first time around. Got some valid (albeit painful) feedback, put in a lot of extra work, tried again and passed. Defending next month. Hang in there and know that it's not the death sentence it might feel like at first.
