For many of the writers, the thesis is the axis around which their lives turn.
“My thesis was determining the books I read, the music I listened to, the movies I watched, what time I went to bed at night and woke up in the morning, kind of like a domineering romantic partner,” says T. Josiah Pertz ?...
Dr. Craig F. Rodgers, counselor and psychologist at the Bureau of Study Counsel, recognizes the dominating grip that the thesis has on many senior writers.
“The thesis can easily consume the rest of the writer’s life unless the writer actively works to counterbalance this dynamic,” he says.
Even with extra time spent researching, thesis writers often have to modify or trash large portions of their projects in the face of new information or advisor disapproval.
