Abstract
Most people tire of school very early and are eager to get out into the real world to earn a decent living doing a decent job, but there are exceptions. And the rarest of the rare take it all the way to PhD level. This little note is written for those rare cases. It is written to make things easier for you because when you start doing a PhD you will enter a strange world full of idiosyncrasies that everyone will assume you understand even though they are not at all obvious. Hopefully, this note will help to prepare you. It is written with the exclusive aim of making life as a PhD student liveable and with any luck even enjoyable. It is written for fresh PhD students.
