Part 5 | I Passed the Thesis Defense (?!?!)

Hey, it's Naz.

So... something crazy happened.

I PASSED MY THESIS DEFENSE.

Yep. After weeks of panic, overthinking, and arguing with Microsoft Word, I finally did it.

There were questions. There was sweat. My brain went blank for a second. But I made it out alive.

And the best part?

I've already finished the revisions too 🎉

So now it's officially done — no more Google Docs, no more late-night edits, no more stressing about margins. Just peace... and snacks.

Honestly, it feels weird. I've been stressed for so long that now I don't even know what to do with this freedom. Should I sleep? Start a YouTube channel? Go eat something deep-fried? I dunno~

🌷 Just a Little Reminder

If you’re still in the middle of your thesis, or any messy life phase —

breathe. It’s okay to cry, to pause, to rant to your friends at midnight.

I know it feels endless.

But one day, you'll look back and realize:

"You actually made it."

Progress isn’t always loud.

Sometimes it’s just choosing to try again, even after yesterday sucked.

So here’s to you —

the version of you that keeps going, even when it’s hard.

You’ve got this 🤍

Echoes of Home

In the vast city's gleaming light, Where dreams and stars align, I chase the promises of night, Yet something tugs inside. Amidst the bustling, crowded streets, Where shadows dance and fade, A whisper of a distant beat, Calls from the life I made. Beneath the urban, restless hum, I hear a softer tune, The murmurs of where I come from, Beneath the harvest moon. The scent of earth, the touch of rain, The warmth of faces dear, A place where love and memories reign, And hearts are always near. Though towers rise and futures gleam, In concrete and in steel, I wander back in every dream, To where the soul can heal. For in the noise and in the haste, In every path I roam, The echoes of my past embrace, And guide me gently home. — Naz

Part 1 | These Emotions

Being an adult is not as beautiful as imagined. For example, like having a boyfriend, many friends, spending adolescence with fun. But it turned out not to be so, because in the end I came to know that being an adult is not just fun, but there is also a big responsibility that must be carried. The greatest responsibility is responsibility to oneself. How to control these emotions and passions. Emotions can control many things in this person when they cannot be controlled properly. Happiness, sadness, disappointment, anger, fear, and other emotions become part of the self. I will tell you that we must be good at controlling emotions. The impact of emotions can affect the people around us. — Naz

Part 2 | Thesis, Tears & Too Many Tabs

hi. it's me. your local tired student. and guess what? thesis is done. done. (yes, i’m still in shock) there were moments i really thought i wouldn’t make it. not to be dramatic—but like... dramatic. things that happened: cried in front of my laptop (multiple times) rewrote chapter 1... four times lived off caffeine and sheer panic made 20+ drafts of one table googled “what if your thesis sucks but you tried” at 3 AM i wasn’t always productive. some days, i opened the doc, stared for two hours, then closed it. some days, i wrote one paragraph and felt like a genius. it was all messy. inconsistent. full of doubt. but somehow, progress still happened. my brain during the process: “you got this!” → “no u don’t.” “ok one last edit.” → rewrites entire section “this is nonsense.” → “but like... academic nonsense?” and now i’m here. ready to register for defense. still tired. still recovering. but proud. of every breakdown, every tiny win, every night i didn’t q...
