There's a reason PhDs are impressive-- they take a heck of a lot of time and work. Not only do you have to do at least 4 years of higher education just to be able to start, but you've got a significant chunk of years in front of you too. It's a time commitment for one and a brain commitment as well. You have to spend 4-7 years thinking about the same thing every day and not get tired of it. Not to mention all the reading, writing, and endless conversations with your advisor.

So during your study breaks, take a look at these memes that are here to commiserate with you.And remember how good it's going to feel to be able to hang that diploma on your wall, tell everybody you made it through, and make everyone refer to you as "doctor." That's what it's all about anyway, right?
