THIS 😂 #2020

@PhDVoice You can do this! I honestly am in similar situations at time but I try to always remind myself this is my work and they are here to provide support.

Anonymous question “Dear PhDers I am about to submit my 2nd year report with little results. I struggled in my lab to optimise a protocol no one of my group has worked on. About two months ago, my supervisors added a postdoc to my supervisory team without consulting me. Now the postdoc isn’t helpful at all and his feedback is making me feel more worse. The postdoc and I are second language speakers and I really DONT need his help at this stage. His emails are so negative, and I can’t tolerate him anymore. I’m really concerned regarding my PhD and his is stressing me out. Any feedback comments or emotional support are appreciated.” #PhDVoice @PostdocVoice

A new morning. Life goes on. Still a long way from chasing destiny. What can we learn? Value the labors of those who went before you & build for those who come after. To all former reps who bled & sacrificed for the Jersey & its people, we honor you. We reset. Much work awaits.🇫🇯

Rugby has taken these young Fijian lads all over the world creating memories they will tell their grand kids. Like the Bati Leka used to protect our Chiefs in ages past back home. Today they did it for the British royals with a song prayer. Special boys🇫🇯❤️

@Rwlshmakeup So happy for you, Robert! ❤❤❤

Isa, patriarchy and privilege go hand in hand 😬.

Bitch!! Just finished doing grocery shopping for home & all I can say is they better make sex work or marijuana/hemp legal in Fiji because fuccccccck these new prices!! I spent an extra $80 buying the same exact shit I got 2 weeks ago!!!🙃😭

@ThePhDPlace Is this a trick question? 👀

If you could have done one part of your PhD while you sleep, what would it be and why?

It's amusing to me that the rich have the gall to give advice on low-mid income earners to focus on their 'needs' and not 'wants'. Isa how about we do that in reverse for a change?! #fiji #VAT

Is anybody else getting the feeling that maybe the “healthy” coping mechanisms they developed at the beginning of the pandemic weren’t meant to last for 3+ years? Because hoo boy I am having a TIME just existing, and not in a good way.

@ThePhDPlace ... (usually things which I had forgotten about doing as my focus is always very heavy on the ultimate goal so I forget about "small" yet important milestones) - I literally cry as I get so overwhelmed.

@ThePhDPlace So our university requires a progress report every semester whereby supervisors have to comment on your progress. Every single time I have had to submit that report, my imposter syndrome kicks in but when I read about the progress my supervisors comment on...

What has been the most rewarding part of your doctoral experience so far?

@PhDVoice Nope. You submitted it and there is always going to be an opportunity for revisions. Congratulations on your submission 🎉

Anonymous question “I have submitted my PhD thesis and I have only now realise that part of references were messed up when final updating, meaning that in the discussion the numbered ref do to correspond to the list of references. can my phd thesis be rejected because of references messed?" #PhDVoice @PostdocVoice

What is wrong with people? PASIFIKA IS THIS THE WAY YOU WANT US TO BE SEEN IN THE WORLD? DO BETTER FOR GOD'S SAKE! 🤦🏾‍♀️

@GuledMire On behalf of those dimwits (for the lack of a better word), I and many like myself - we are terribly sorry. Their absolutely disgusting comments in no way, shape or form reflect our Pasifika way/values. Sorry is never enough unfortunately 🙏

@LostPlayhouse @ThePhDPlace 💯🤣🤣🤣

@ThePhDPlace I’ll finish that sentence when I’m good and ready, thank you. Now if you’ll excuse me, there’s a TV that’s not going to watch itself.

Finish the sentence: It's not procrastinating, it's…

What a refreshing podcast this was! We want more of Dr. @ARanganathan72 on @TheRanveerShow youtu.be/98Sy-bjXKQQ #trs #theranveershow #dranandranganathan

If there is any movie that deserves to be a hit, it's this one. What a fine movie and #RajpalYadav at his best. What a fine actor! #RubinaDilaik & @tentej #HitenTejwani at their finest. #Ardh youtu.be/00p8KRdm_4s

Just finished watching #Asur2 - One word - mindblowing! An extremely underrated show! ❤

Wish the makers had done this before. Would have loved to have watched this movie on the big screen 😔

❤❤❤
