Hi!
I've recently come across this forum and I'm looking for some advice! I'm currently nearing the end of my masters and about to submit my dissertation - exciting and scary. However, coming on to this masters has changed my career plan and options. Initially I wanted to go into television but I've come to realise that it isn't for me, and that I might want to stay in academia. I thought that a PhD is something that I couldn't do or rather no one would want to supervise me. However, I've now had 4 tutors from my department saying that they would love to supervise me and that they think I'm more than capable.
What worries me is that I got a 2:1 in my undergraduate (English Literature) and I know a lot of commitees want firsts - although I did get a first in my dissertation. I also struggle a little bit with my writing skill - I'm told my ideas are great and new but my writing is only good.
I'm looking for some advice from current PhD students - how you've found the experience, do you regret deciding to do a PhD etc

I'm just at a lost :(!
