When one attempts to write their thesis, but can't make a thoughtful statement if their life depended on it and all that comes out is something that has the cadence of something thoughtful but lacks any substance or direction.

An evil type of statement, invented by Satan himself, that is used in a formal essay that teachers assign to their students in order to make sure they meet their suffering requirements.
She worked so hard on her thesis statement, yet the teacher threw it in the garbage and burned it because it was trash.

The facial expression on one's face after one has been sitting in front of the computer while unable to contribute anything significant to their thesis, instead staring at the screen in anguish.
I saw Jane in the library today; she must have writers block, as she was making her thesis face at the computer screen.

A condition experienced by some students because their friends have thesis and they don’t. Usually this happens when friends are starting to complete their thesis and graduate while these students are stuck with their own thesis. Thesis envy could lead to several conditions. One of the conditions is regression. This can be seen when thesis-writing students take classes that are meant for students below their level, for example taking classes for first or second year students. Another condition is professor complex, the students identify themselves with their professors and/or have an unconscious desire to kill their professors.
Example 1
He told me he wants to kill his professor because his professor is being very difficult with his thesis. I think he has thesis envy.
Example 2
Dude, seriously. You're beginning to talk like Professor Burns. I thing you have thesis envy.

A harsh critique that is biased, uninformed, or blatantly political. It provides no solutions to the problem it addresses, and merely serves to distract attention from a positive solution or idea.
The feedback has been mostly supportive, however there has been a lot of fuss made over one particular comment. We see this as merely an Instagram thesis.
