When you did the work, but forget to send it on time because you wanted to revise it for the tenth time.

Professor: "Hey, I haven't received your work yet. All good?"

Me: *has a mental breakdown*

DTOTW: Here’s why I recommend doctoral students attend other dissertation defenses before theirs. 1) It demystifies the process, 2) You can identify common pitfalls, and 3) You learn to master the art of the pivot. #dissertationlife #dissertationwriting #phdlife
