“Some people turn sad awfully young. No special reason, it seems, but they seem almost to be born that way. They bruise easier, tire faster, cry quicker, remember longer and, as I say, get sadder younger than anyone else in the world. I know, for I’m one of them.”
— Ray Bradbury; Dandelion Wine

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.
— Maya Angelou
It wasn’t considered a large city, but it suffocated her, as though the concrete had been poured down her throat. She jostled down the main road, groceries in a rough calico bag, through a throng of men in suits and women who were going somewhere. Her shoes bothered her. Once they had made her feel classy but the worn velvet and the unstable heels threatened to let her down. She inhaled deeply, drawing the smoke-choked air into her subpar lungs. The world smelled like whiskey.
The fires on the map threatened to swallow it all. The spot where they had skinny dipped amongst the stars, the coastal tea tree, the alpine snow gums that had been clouded with snow not months ago. She felt a strong urge to lay down in the middle of the road, to let the apples go rolling across the black tar. The pint of beer had made her drowsy and rageful. The government had made her drowsy and rageful.
She didn’t pray for rain, she knew how to check the forecast.

“There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more.”
— Lord Byron (via madness-and-gods)
Thesis 101: Condensed version
In my experience, there is always someone somewhere starting their thesis, or struggling to the thesis finish line, or stuck in that middle part where it’s hard work without the reward. If you are just getting started on your thesis (or another big project) and you feel a bit lost and overwhelmed: fear not, I have your back. I created a list of tips that I found useful while writing my MSc thesis (psychology).
Let me know if this was helpful and if you want more. I originally wanted to post a whole series of tips on different stages of the thesis process, so consider this the drastically condensed version of that.
Getting started
Find a lab that works on a topic that interests you and with a team that you feel comfortable with.
Make sure you know where to go with questions and get to know the structure.
Set up your goals from the beginning and make a planning.
The best thing you can do at the beginning of your thesis is figure out what you want, what your university requires, and how the project works.
Planning
Create a list of all the steps you need to take to finish your thesis and divide them over the time (months, weeks?) that you have until the deadline.
At the very beginning, discuss this schedule with your supervisor.
Create in-between deadlines, with your supervisor and also with yourself.
At the beginning of each month, write down what you should do each week.
At the beginning of each week, write down what you should do each day.
Make a list of things you need to do each day, preferably the night before, so you can start right when you sit down.
You could even calendar block if that’s your cup of tea.
Steps
Here’s an example from a psychology graduate (me):
Literature search/brain storm
Research question, hypotheses
Summarizing results into proposal
Make a plan
Learn how to analyze data
Execute plan (e.g., data collection)
Analyse data
Write down results
Draw conclusion
Revision, feedback, revision, feedback, revision!
Reflection
Every week (or at whatever interval you prefer), sit down for 20 minutes and reflect on your progress. Ask yourself:
What did I do this week?
What went well?
What did not go as planned?
What can I do to improve next week?
What is on my to do list for the next week? What’s my focus? Are there things on the long run that I need to start working on?
Reflection keeps you on track but also allows you to think about what you learned in the process.
School isn’t actually meant to teach you real life skills, it’s actually meant to get you used to waking up early and going to a boring and miserable job every day.
A lot of people read this and think it’s just juvenile shit kids complain about. But this is literally how mass education started. The necessity of disciplining formerly farming people, used to setting their own schedules, into the rhythms of the industrial economy, was why mass education was born.
