Learning is cool! 😎 Being educated is beautiful ✨ and being privledged enough to get to keep studying throughout your 20s is amazing! 🤩 ☀️ ☀️ ☀️ I know there are a lot of negatives to doing a PhD 👩‍🔬 and I’m certainly guilty of posting and complaining about doing one 😂 but I think most people who do one wouldn’t trade the experience for the world 😍 and neither would I 😊 So say what you want but I’m happy with who I am and what my choices have been, and you can’t stop me from celebrating it 😜💃🏼🎉✌🏼 ☀️ ☀️ ☀️ #phd #noregrets #sciencelover #20s #30s".
