I already finished mine (economics, did it in Sweden). It was hard, but I am glad I did it. I was being paid for the whole duration of it, and I got into teaching early on so by the time I finished my PhD I had already landed myself a permanent teaching job at a university in my city.

Hot: medium roast & with oat milk. Iced: cold brew, dark roast & with full milk. But tbh if there's only one kinda coffee being served, I'll drink it so long as it isn't sweet.   reply

IDK tbh. We're nearing the end of January and I'm already tired, lol.   reply
