If you kill yourself, think of all the maths you'll have left undiscovered. We all struggle just fight through it, you'll find something interesting soon enough

Life is pretty much meaningless.
If anybody claims to know the meaning of life they're just meming you.

Just have fun with it.

It doesn't matter in the end as long as you enjoyed what you were doing.

Hang in there anon. ;)

With a PhD you can watch all your peers that went into industry get filthy rich over the course of 5 years while you still sip 20 cent noodle packages from a cup you haven't washed in a month.
