Every Feeling Maltese Students Have Before They Hand In Their Thesis

Article Featured Image

If you’ve ever come out of the end of writing a thesis you’ll know that it feels more than mildly bewildering. Even if so far in your life you’ve struggled to write so much as an eloquent Facebook post, you’re expected to essentially write a book. It’s crazy and it leaves you feeling destroyed and triumphant in equal measure.

Here’s what we’ve all experienced before thesis hand-in day at UoM. 

1. Determination

It’s only 15,000 words – that’s like three normal assignments. Let’s do this.

2. Brain-block

This kind of block goes beyond just writing. You actually have lost the ability to form lucid thoughts.

3. Confidence-surge

You’ve written the first 200 words and everyone has told you that’s the “hardest part”. You are doing this.

4. Complete bewilderment

You repeat your own hypothesis to yourself a hundred times and it still makes zero sense in your own brain. #WhatAmIWritingAbout

5. Confidence collapse

You WhatsApp Sarah for some comfort. She’s already on  her second chapter and is having a Spritz break with all your friends in Valletta.

6. Blame game

This is all [literally any person on the planet]’s fault. How the hell am I meant to write 15,000 words about one subject? That’s like THREE whole assignments.

7. Divine inspiration

Suddenly, out of nowhere, your body becomes a thinking, writing machine.

8. Complete system failure

You left all your footnotes until the end and have to spend the next week back in the Melitensia library.

BONUS: Overwhelming Pride

You’ve never done anything that’s more of a big deal, so Facebook deserves to know. #FeelingProud
