I used this answer for undergraduate, masters and am now starting to use if for PhD
Them: what are you going to do when you finish?
Me: get very drunk. (With deadpan face of seriousness. No longer term options offered in the silence which follows )

Freaks my Gran out something chronic!

Hey,
Having read lots of posts on here it's reassuring to find that I'm not the only one who hates their PhD/has no motivation/wants to jack it all in/experiences the blackness etc etc. Thanks for letting me realise that!

On a more positive note, I spend a lot of time listening to the radio and music and I need a new playlist. Does anyone has any good suggestions for spirit lifting tunes for the bad days. Any genre, any age, as long as it has a motivational effect!

The Killers - Mr Brightside always a winner of course :o)
