Post-thesis submission limbo ✨ (Insta: @marianaql.science +42K)
Strolling through Cambridge, all my memories @cambridgeuniversity are back: my 2019 Erasmus, my MPhil, and now, the submission of my PhD thesis. My viva is happening on 29th November 2023 and on that day I’ll become Dr. Quiroga Londoño.
While it is exciting, these days are full of uncertainty as my life was fully defined by my work and my thesis, but not anymore. Now that I have submitted I am feeling a post-submission limbo that is hard to describe.
I think of all the laughs, the tears, the joy, the stress, the hugs, the pain, the moments of love I’ve experienced here…Since 2019, my life transformed completely and, as I stand here, I’m coming to terms with the idea that my time as a Cambridge student is drawing to an end. Time for reflection, gratitude, and embracing that each phase of life brings its own beauty.
Who would’ve thought? A first-gen Latina in STEM, now part of Cambridge University’s legacy.
