Has lived in more than 3 countries
Has never done fieldwork
Attended a conference just for the snacks or coffee breaks
Tried explaining your research to family and got blank stares
Has been asked "when are you finishing your PhD ?" too many times
Realized it’s already Friday, and you don’t know what you accomplished
Gave up and blamed the software for your analysis issues
Felt like a data wizard after solving a coding problem
Rewarded yourself for finishing a task by binge-watching your favorite show
Had an existential crisis about your thesis topic
Accidentally taught yourself something while explaining it to someone else
If given the chance, would do the same PhD again
Hid in a corner to avoid small talk at a conference
Has changed research topics during their PhD career
Started reading a paper but got distracted by the references rabbit hole
Had an awkward encounter with their academic idol
Nodded along in a supervision meeting while secretly Googling a term
Survived a teaching session with zero technical difficulties
Forgot to include an important co-author in a paper or presentation
Wrote an entire paragraph only to delete it later
Used a meme or pop culture reference to explain a concept
Pretended to write while scrolling social media or online shopping
Successfully negotiated a deadline extension with your supervisor
Turned procrastination into "productive" tasks like cleaning your desk
