Working through ABD 4 PhD

[SarahEAW]

I have been on this PhD journey for almost 7 years now. As they told us in orientation, it has had its highs and lows. When I think about how I can keep going, it really amounts to just doing a little and then doing a little more. If you look at the reasons people don't finish a PhD, I would say that I have had most of the feelings that people give for quitting at one time or another... things like: I'm sick of my topic, I'm bored, tired of school, I just don't want to write anything, can't make myself sit and do the work... aka procrastination.

But, I trudge along each semester making one small step forward. Everyone has a story and a journey. If you are on the journey too, please let me encourage you to keep going!

Cheers,
