Not to get too smarmy but to be honest, nothing can properly prepare you for the absolute journey that is a PhD
Going from an absolute beginner in a field to the point that industry veterans value your opinion in just 3-4 years is insane
The people you meet
The experience
Just all of it

Just to take a step back and look at the entire journey
To see which of my hunches were right and which were wrong
To feel like you're doing something
There's a chance I finish writing up, get to my viva and have the whole thing thrown out
But the reflection feels really good
