One of the biggest obstacles to getting a PhD is actually finishing it. Getting your results into a form that can be read by other people and actually makes sense can be arduous. In this note we give a few links that may help those still on their way.

Many people have successfully completed their PhD, and some of them have kindly written about their experiences.
The alarmingly named Dead Thesis Society has some useful links and advice, helpfully organised by topic. This includes the classic Day in the life of a grad student.
Another useful online resource is the PHinisheD website. Along with many jokes replacing "f" with "ph", they have discussion boards and archived advice for PhD students and new PhDs.
My own personal stress-reliever as a graduate student was to name my thesis file "bloodything.tex". This meant that the command to LaTeX it was "latex bloodything", which I found funny in a trivial way. |
