Every Emotion You'll Experience Handing in Your Dissertation Every Emotion Youll Experience Handing in Your Dissertation You’ve spent the last three months living in darkness racking your brains to find something half-decent to write 10,000 words about. You’ve lived off instant noodles and coffee and seen the best minds of your generation destroyed by madness. You’ve come out the other side and survived and now, at last, you’re nearly done. You’ve finished it. The dissertation from hell. You’d think handing it in would be the easy part, but we’ve got news for you. It’s not. You’ve got a few more nightmares to navigate before you can relax. 1. First, you have to frantically cut your word count via GIPHY You started off your essay thinking you’d never reach the required 10,000 words. Three months down the line, you now find yourself over the word count. How could such a thing be possible? 2. … and manage to forget your line of argument in the process via GIPHY Diss-what? Did I even write this? 3. You experience a very brief and satisfying sense of closure via GIPHY Bless the gods. You’ve hit save. You’re ready to take on new challenges. You’re a king! A queen! You’re the human incarnation of the fire emoji - no, you’re Beyonce! 4. Quick, to the dissertation printing and binding shop! via GIPHY Godspeed to you on this noble and courageous journey! Clutching your brave little USB stick, you dodge bicycles, buses and pigeons because - as God is your witness- you’ll hand in your dissertation or die trying. 5. Tears stream down your face, as you notice the length of the waiting line and the clock continues to tick via GIPHY Most of your friends printed their dissertation a week ago and had them bound yesterday, but you had to wait until hand-in day.

Repeat steps four and five via GIPHY A sense of carelessness and exhilaration overcome you. Nothing matters in the end, does it? You’ll permanently live at home and fail to amount to anything, but so what? You’ll be alright as long as there’s food and TiVo. 8.  You realize the world needs to bear witness to your dissertation selfie It needs to exist. After all, if you don’t take a dissertation selfie, can you really claim to have done a dissertation? 9.  You feel triumphant and glide across campus to hand your dissertation in via GIPHY Finally, at last, you reach your department ready to hand in the 20 or so pages of pure gold that you’ve spent the past three months carefully crafting. 10. You notice a spelling mistake on the first page via GIPHY It’s at about this point that you realize alcohol is the answer to your sorrows. Things will never be the same again, but you know what? It was worth it. Every minute of it.
