how to cope with solo thesis
Hello~ I'm currently 80% done with my thesis and will defend on Monday. I honestly just want to vent because I feel like I'm losing my mind over the last 20% in my manuscript progress.
I've come this far and I was never 100 percent sure if I'm on the right track, if I'm writing the right things, or making the right analyses. I have learned tho--- that grinding this manus and NOT stopping is the right way since all the heavy reading and literature reviews kind of validate me and my methods.
Consulting my adviser falls short rin kasi she's expecting me to know all of these na after taking all the major and elective courses. BUT NO. Ang lala ng learning curve sa field namin since there are too many things going on and pipelines are case-by-case batay sa topic mo, or if you want more depth and reliability in your research. I am also always honest with her whenever I'm kinda stoopid and dont understand some of the things she's talking about. Maybe this is the struggle of students whose topics are offered to them by their advisers?
I don't want to give up kasi I'm so close yet so far. Imposter syndrome is also peaking rn.
How do you fight your demons ba in your last stretch of thesis? Are there also people here who struggle like I do?
