As of lately I have been in hiding but for all good reasons. My dissertation process has started and the struggle has been real. For the last three years I have been waiting for this moment, and now that the moment has arrived I’m in complete shock. Which is weird considering that I wrote and completed a dissertation for my Master’s program. With being mid-way in the dissertation process I figured I share the top 20 reoccurring thoughts I have while writing my dissertation…
Hopefully some of you out there can relate!
- What did I get myself into?
- Is this really happening?
- I don’t even know how to get started.
- Shit, I have writers block.
- I can’t find the motivation to even think.
- FML!
- I don’t feel smart.
- Why did I choose this topic?
- Why am I second guessing myself.
- I’m the Kanye of writing dissertations.
- I’m a beast when it comes to finding scholarly sources.
- Damn…I’m falling behind the deadline date.
- I’ll just pull an all-nighter and get things done.
- Who am I kidding…I’m too old to be pulling all-nighters.
- I need more computer storage space.
- I should buy a backup hard drive for my backup hard drive.
- I feel like crying!
- Who’s idea was it for me to pursue a doctorate degree? Oh it was mine’s!
- Where’s my cohort when I need them?
- I got this!!!
For any one that maybe working on their dissertation…remember we got this!
Until next time…
