PhD is 10 times more stressful than a bachelor's degree in my opinion. And the hardest part of PhD was to get it started， as there are so many hurdles you need to go through and if you think that this time will be easy... It won’t. You can only learn from your mistakes and move forward with new knowledge and understanding. You don't have any experience at all on how things work or what kind of people are around you， but somehow everything comes together once you start putting up effort. There were days where I felt like giving up because I didn't know who would ever take me seriously (I am not very good at talking) but I saw other students struggling just as much as me and we became friends. One day she told me about her life growing up， trying to find herself in another country；how hard for her had been too. We got closer every day and now we even share our deepest thoughts to each other when something happens to us.
It took me four years to finish my thesis and one year after finishing it， I still feel confused why I decided to go back to school and study again. Now I understand however， as being an adult student has taught me to value education and I want to use whatever opportunity I can afford to keep learning. To everyone out there reading this， never quit and give it your best effort until the moment someone tells you they believe in you、that it's worth working really hard for and no matter how long it takes…You deserve it！ Good luck ！
