Not only did we have a bachelor with a PhD but the runner up of Survivor Australia 2019 was also a PhD student! Watching the show got me thinking…. a PhD is a little like Survivor.
- You eat a lot of rice and beans
- You need to defend your thesis to an advisory panel of experts like the Survivor finalists need to defend their game to the Jury
- You are thinking about the PhD every minute of everyday like the Survivor players are thinking about the game
- Every time you think a challenge can’t get any harder, it does
- Your supervisor just pops in randomly to throw a spanner in the works like JLP does
- You have a lot of sleepless nights
- Messy hair, comfy clothes, and an unwashed face is acceptable
- Sometimes you just need to cry to your loved ones
- It feels like you haven’t seen your friends in 487 days
- Only people who have done a PhD know how hard it is, like only survivor contestants know how hard living on a beach in Fiji for 2 months is
