What being a PhD student DOESN’T mean: a short story in gifs

You know what you’re doing 100% of the time

You have your post-research career path figured out

You never make mistakes

You are above office gossip

You are less busy than other working folk because, you know, ‘your schedule is flexible’

BUT, you SHOULD make your work your entire life

You are confident about speaking in front of crowds

You understand everything at the conference

and you understand everything about everything in your field

And in spite of everything that comes against you, you can’t be a bawse.
