    I feel like a more common reaction is “Finally I am rid of this terrible burden that I took on in my naivete. It is riddled with errors that the cruel arrow of time prevents me from rectifying. May I be lucky enough to get a publication or two out of it and then finally be rid of it forever” but maybe I’m speaking too closely to my own experience.

      No, this is the way. PhD theses are probably like having an aggressive cancer and then submitting it is like a successful surgery.
