I agree. (source: at similar stage of PhD to original author. Trying to get to the end myself though).

Try not to agree too vigorously... regardless of how valid the author's points are, the end of grad school is usually the most stressful and depressing part (possibly of your career), especially until you get a job lined up.

You're almost done.

I am also months away from submission, so I wasn't entirely sure on what level I was sympathising with the authors arguments!

Almost there...
