Masters/ PhD candidates out there, how's your life going on as a graduate student?
Do you feel your graduate study is a lonely journey?
Sometimes I kinda feel left out. While most of my friends are busy with their own working life, career, planning to buy properties and getting married, I'm still conducting research and writing my thesis and there's uncertainty I got to face after grad school. It can be overwhelming sometimes.
Personally for me, I don't feel so lonely. Maybe because I have friends that continue their study in the same batch as me, or maybe I live near them, so I can always see them. Regarding about working friends, yeah they do talk about their working life, but not all the time. I guess I have some sort of understanding friends Do you feel your graduate study is a lonely journey?

Regarding life planning, yes I do feel that as well. But it is the path we already took, and it is a different one for us. Instead of being left out, why don't we think that at least we can contribute to society in our own way. Their lifestyle and planning might differ, but this is just a journey, not the destination yet. Until we reach that place, never give up.
And hey, wearing lab coat and getting my name cited always float my boat
