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