Your videos have been helping me stay productive! I wonder if you communicate with them about that job/your estimated completion date if they might hold one of the positions for you?🙏
That's a good thought! They are aware of my timeline and several of the folks who work there and are involved with hiring have made comments about me moving to full time when I graduate. But It would probably be worth having a very open discussion about it!
Thank you so much for all the information- I'm getting this done soon. The only question I have is didn't they tell you to walk a lot to eliminate gas?
They told me to walk around for sure! And I did my best with my situation. I just live in a very small apartment without a lot of space for walking around without driving myself literally crazy. And with the huge snowstorm we had, I didn't want to risk slipping on the ice. Also, the tenderness and pain made it hard to stand up straight, and it wasn't the easiest for me to walk for longer periods so hunched over.
Totally understandable! It definitely sucked at the time, but now than I'm 1.5 yrs out, I don't remember it all that clearly anymore. I wish you the best!
Where can you get patterns from? I kind of want like a Hawaiian print safari jacket/army shirt (extra pockets!!) What i might do is just sew extra pockets on a Hawaiian shirt or get an army shirt and paint flowers on it
I didn't use a pattern for this one, but I have used patterns from Etsy, thrift stores, big box sewing stores (wait until they're on sale), and free online patterns from places like Mood Sewciety. But your plan sounds like an approachable way to see if you want to spend the time, effort, and money into making a totally custom version!
Congrats on the award and on turning down the fellowship! Your reasons for turning it down make total sense and I’m glad to hear your advisor was supportive about it. I’m in a similar boat right now with feeling like I need to go into overdrive and get this thing done! It was also fun hearing a little more about your research! It’s always interesting how even with totally different fields a lot of the processes and overall language we use is the same.
Thank you so much! The vast ranges of research topics is one of the reasons I love watching grad school content. It's really easy to be in my own research bubble and to forget about the variety of other topics.
Hi Maddie, I need your help. I’m confused between iPad 10 gen and iPad Air. Given my budget I can afford iPad 10 gen with Apple Pencil but on the other hand I can only afford to buy iPad Air without Apple Pencil. I really need an iPad for note taking, reading, annotating and modelling my thoughts. Would you be open to suggesting me which one to buy in 2024?
I've never used the iPad Air so I can't say much on that front. However, I don't really see the benefit of an iPad without the Apple Pencil compared to a normal laptop (assuming you have one). The pencil is what makes it nice for taking notes by hand/highlighting documents etc. I have seen some folks use off-brand pencils that are cheaper than Apple, but idk for sure how nicely those work! So if you already have a laptop for typing etc., I would go whichever route allows you to also have a pencil of some sort.
Keep us updated on how it goes with the skincare! Idk about you but when I went to the dermatologist it was such a whirlwind experience! It seems like they must see 75 patients a day. I also feel for you on the laundry. We had to go to a laundromat when we lived in San Francisco. If you use the dryers, try to find one that someone just took clothes out of so it’s already warm! And the sound through the walls😫 apartment living is truly humbling. The stories we all have😅
That's a really good tip for the dryer! I would not have thought about that. And yes, I think we will probably stay in this apartment as long as we can to save for a house, but when we move out it will be a huge upgrade!
Congrats on hitting your financial goal!! That’s so exciting and inspiring!💫 I loved hearing all these updates!😁 and I totally agree about Atomic Habits. I find it’s a good one to recommend to people just getting started.
see, i am scared to death of that breathing tube! i was told they take that out while your still asleep.. i am scheduled for surgery in august and so scared
I didn't really have a sore throat at all from it. I can't even remember for sure if I was still intubated when I woke up that first time and startled the nurse. It only felt like a half second of consciousness. But I understand why you are scared of it. It is freaky.
I guess I forgot to ever film an update, but my plant is now 2+ feet long and very happy! I think stem propagation is the way to go since you don't lose as much length.
Hey I have question plz reply I have gone through c section surgery of 14m Cyct removal from my right Overy and now my both overies are fine but need to know is cyst back once it fully removed from overies how many chances and is there any medications for it not to occur again?
this was a motivating watch to start my day! i'm nowhere near this number and have only opened a roth ira this year but have been trying to learn more about how to maximize my money. i feel like i have a lot of ground to make up but i'm also trying to remind myself that starting and doing it consistently is half the battle. hoping that once i finish my program i'll be able to continue having multiple jobs and dedicate one of those to aggressively make up for lost time with retirement funds haha. also, i'm so jealous of your rent! my lowest rent was back in 2013 when i lived in seattle with 3 other people. it was around $300 before utilities [granted i wasn't making that much money lol] but now living in boston that number is 😅 congratulations! 🎊
Congrats on getting your roth started! The key is definitely just getting started and doing what you can. Being a grad student means there often isn't much "leftover" money which is why setting up even a small automatic contribution is key! Despite Bozeman becoming incredibly expensive in the last 8+ years I have lived here, I have somehow gotten *insanely* lucky with cheap rent, never paying more than $500 a month. Best of luck with your personal finance journey!!
girl get rid of the plastic monstousities and get the ones that have moss or coir all over. MUCH better for plant growth and much easier for you as they grow.
I feel ya. Grew up in southern Arizona. Spring started in March and summer was May. Then I moved to Utah for a few years and the spring always got me! Sorry you have snow. :(
Great video. I enjoyed every bit of it. The vulnerability is 💯. Kudos to you on being able to save that much at your age. That's a lot. Congratulations. It however got me curious. How were you able to save that much money? Is it from the stipends? Or is there another source of income? RU-vid? Also, regarding the book- Wordslut. You definitely do a lot of up-talking, which makes your videos stand out from other channels that I watch. I was wondering though, did the book mention anything about down-talking? Does it say anything about a down-talker's personality? I think this is all for now. If I remember any other one, I'll communicate it.
Regarding the book: There was a short discussion about women (and some men) lowering the pitch of their voice to closer match that of the deepness of men's voices. Regarding the net worth: I think I am going to make a separate video on that!
Hey Maddie, nice visit and lovely video. I received positive response from Uni Kentucky, Lexington recently although I'm still expecting the official letter. It looks like I'm gonna be a PhD student afterall 😅. You are like the only PhD student that has a work-life balance; this is something I really want to emulate. How do you do it. Any tips?
Omg congrats! That's amazing news! Basically I went through a phase where I absolutely didn't have good work-life balance and almost dropped out of grad school because of severe burnout. You can go back to some earlier videos on my grad school playlist to see about that! I established some rules for myself to split up work from life just because there is always more work to be done. I try to stick to a normal schedule of about 9am-4pm M-F at work and I don't work from home since I have a dedicated office and lab space on campus. I don't even really check emails at home unless the subject line makes it seem immensely important when the notification comes across my phone. Other than weekends, I don't really take time off unless I am traveling, which is one reason I travel more than the typical grad student might. The biggest help is that my advisor knows me on a more personal level and knows that taking time for family, camping, travel, skiing, etc is important to me. He also likes all of those same things and takes time off as well, so we have mutual trust that I am only taking time off when I know I am still able to get my work done to a high quality and in a reasonable amount of time.

@@MaddieMettler thank you so much for this elaborate response. Thank you for the time you took to compose it. I'll definitely study those videos. Thank you. Best regards.
Thank you for making this video! I feel this so much and I’m sure others do too. I also get bogged down sometimes feeling like I’ve postponed living my life by taking this path. I try to remind myself that I’m in it for the long term investment, and even though my 20s were spent in school, the rest of my life will be that much sweeter because of this investment. We’ll see if that ends of being true 😅 also can’t deny that as I near the end, there’s a big part of me that wants to do something entirely different than I had anticipated. Anyway, I’m rambling! But you’re definitely not alone in how you feel.
Wow... I'm actually surprised you got through the video without shedding a tear or maybe it was cut out. Anyways, I'm glad you realized that great things are equally happening in your life. Also, I think comparison is a trait all humans have that operates/works like fear. It's both limiting and good for survival. Think about it. I actually sometimes also feel I'm behind in life. I'm convinced I want to do a PhD but getting admission has been difficult. For context, I clocked 30 last Thursday. My friends have high paying jobs already. In my country, to get such jobs, I'll either have to be an expert (which a PhD will help me with) or change careers. Point is, I think I can relate with that feeling of being behind in life even though I'm not in grad school yet. I think the best attitude to have is to be GRATEFUL. God has been good to us. P.S. Pardon the typos.
I actually held it together throughout the whole video and was also pretty surprised haha. I'm quite happy with what I have going on in life and it's really not until I look around at my friends that I feel "behind" but in reality, I am in just the right place. Everything will come in time!
Hope you are well, I saw your RU-vid channel. Your content is really amazing but channel growth is very poor. Just need to customize your channel now (setup, optimize with high quality SEO) especially need SEO service
Awh thanks Robyn! I've recently been on a kick of watching RU-vid while working too--it makes the time go by faster while also not slowing down my productivity which is nice.
I haven’t watched RU-vid in months and it’s so good to be back catching up! I can totally relate to waiting for the motivation to show up any day😅 we just booked flights to San Diego to visit family this summer and the cost of flights was🙃 Thanks for the motivation to get back into a yoga routine!
Oh goodness! It is so difficult to live apart from family for so many reasons, and the cost of travel is perhaps the most difficult on a grad student salary. It will be so fun though!
So with most PhD programs in the US (and basically all STEM PhDs) the tuition fees are paid for by the university. They are either paid for by a grant that funds the research or by your position as a teaching assistant. The grant or your TA position is also what provides a stipend/salary to pay for accommodations, food, gas, etc. I have about 4 videos in my channel that discuss how I make ends meet with my stipend.
@@MaddieMettler okay. Thanks for the information . I will definitely go through those videos. I am planning to apply for PhD in Electrical engineering. Do you think there are good opportunities in this Program in terms of faculty, jobs for International students?
@@revantgautam1680 I really have no idea! It’s so dependent university to university. I would recommend reaching out to the graduate student success coordinator in the department at each university you want to apply to.
I'm hoping to start grad school this fall. A potential PI reached out to me asking me if I was interested in joining his lab for fall for PhD to which I said yes. He's a nutritional science faculty. Then he asked me for a time I'll be available for "a discussion to tell me about his research." Do you think that's like a sort of code for interview?
It could be! I think naturally with discussions like that you end up asking each other questions. I would definitely try to be as prepared as you can be for it!
@@MaddieMettler it was indeed an interview. Thankfully I was prepared. It went really well. Hopefully the official offer comes in ASAP. How are you doing? How's PhD?no hope it's Phd-ing? Lol
I got the vegetarian plan and enjoyed it, but they recently changed a recipe from vegetable stock to chicken stock and sent it to me that way. Tells me they do not respect vegetarians.
Oh yikes. I only did Hello Fresh for this short bit of time and then again last summer for a few months. But then they didn't send all of my meals a few times and also started sending produce that was already moldy and rotting. after several complaints they basically said they wouldn't refund me anymore but they would give me free meals instead despite sending pictures etc of the rotting produce they sent. Generally not happy with my Hello Fresh experience last summer and will probably never use them again. I also still really hate all the single use plastic etc that goes along with it--and there is NO way it is cheaper than grocery shopping normally.
Not all cysts require surgery and not all surgery results in ovarian removal. And as long as she still has one ovary and fallopian tube, then I'm pretty sure pregnancy can still happen naturally. That is something to talk with her doctor about.
In UK, they wrote to me with a date and time to turn up to the ward (this was on NHS and not private btw) and once I turned up after I did the usual standard urine sample and preg test they took me to theatre two hours after I turned up Mine was like a year later after yours and I’ve been recovering for two weeks - my body has been so good in recovering though How are you a year down the line? My right ovary was taken out - they found another cyst but it’s a normal one hence the ct scan and mri not picking it up
I'm glad you are recovering! I can't imagine that short of a turnaround for surgery--no time to prepare! I actually just put out a video about being a year down the line: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0XgbvXZfG_g.html&ab_channel=MaddieMettler Long story short: doing okay, but still experiencing issues that I think are related to my hormones, despite being told I need to remain on hormonal birth control basically forever.
@@MaddieMettler ah shit! Sorry to hear that and will take a look later. They have explained to me as I have an ovary left I won’t need birth control … it just depends on if my periods are still heavy so it will be for that reason I’ll take them maybe. Still waiting for a follow up appointment as they’re still doing g tests on the biopsies they did
For the majority of my program I have been a W2 employee of MSU, so the taxes are automatically deducted like for any other job. One academic year (fall 2022-spring 2023) I was paid through a fellowship which was 2 lump payments (one at the start of each semester) without taxes taken out. So I did the 1040 estimated taxes form from the IRS and paid quarterly taxes in fall 2022. When I did my full tax return for tax year 2022, I listed the fact that I had non-W2 income but had already paid some taxes. I ended up getting a refund that year and decided not to pay quarterly taxes for spring 2023. So when I did my tax return for tax year 2023, I just listed my non-W2 income and knew I would be paying taxes rather than getting a refund--so I just knew to keep a few hundred dollars available for the tax bill. I hope this helps!
So wild that you felt called to share this video! I watched your vlog early last week to prepare for my surgery that was on Friday and was curious what the experience is months following because they ended up taking my ovary and fallopian tube. Thank you for sharing this 🙏
Still about $22,000-24,000 a year--same as my most recent finance video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gZO7C-LWpxU.htmlsi=uA33z5cW_mq2wSIG
I just had surgery yesterday to remove one of my ovary which had an 8 cm complex cyst. I just cant sleep flat on my bed. The gas pains are bad. They're this poking pain that i get on my right clavicle and diaphragm. Breathing when lieing flat also triggers the pain. So im just sitting/sleeping on my L shaped couch in a reclined position. Its the only position in which i find relief from gas pains. I'm hoping for a speedy recovery.
I hope you are feeling much better now 3 weeks later! I found that after about 4 days I felt way way better because the gas pains subsided after that length of time.
just found out i have a 10cm cyst, in my case no pain no bloating literally nothing... before the cyst i used to have horrible cramps since the cyst nothing .... i thought i was doing something right............. I AM TERRIFIED!!!!!!!!!!!
I had a 7cm cyst with no pain, nothing. But it's better to get it removed especially as big as yours, if it ruptures or twists it can be deadly. Don't mean to scare you but definitely consider getting it removed
Amazing and informative video I have been offered ChE PhD position this fall 2024 in university of kentucky with 2.4k monthly stipend any advice you wanna give?
Congrats on the offer! If UK is anything like MSU, you should get on the waitlist for grad housing on campus ASAP! The housing on campus here is about half the price (if not less) than anything off campus and the waitlists are usually quite long. That can be a great way to save money! Otherwise, I would recommend living as if you had that level of income and expenses so you can adjust to the feeling.
It is for sure in Bozeman! Definitely worth taking a look at the housing at UK and Lexington to find out for sure. Also, give yourself lots of time to find housing! It is not the easiest thing to do in any college town@@30-sakash-che87
