This article offers a reflective account of five friends who supported each other during the final stages of their PhDs. Our supportive group, however, was unique: it was a virtual support group that relied on Whatsapp, Facebook and Skype. Using such online resources allowed five PhD students, based from Glasgow to Kent, to offer each other advice, guidance and friendship. The article recommends that instead of hiding yourself away during the final stages of thesis writing, you should reach out to peers around you for support. Our experiences highlight that this can be in person but can also be successful via the use of social media. Ultimately, this article, therefore, aims to highlight the benefits of our virtual peer support group and how it helped each of the authors at the end of their PhD journey.
