GRAD SCHOOL VLOG: conference and research updates | phd day in the life 

Your research is so interesting I bet you get those grants! i can sympathize with your issue with the eyes going wonky after reading a ton of old newspapers. I have been deep into dozens of papers from the gilded age and the poor quality of some of the coppies causes a lot of eye strain. My research is done (thank God) and now all I have to do is write the thesis. I chose one of the 5 grad schools for Fall of 2023! So, I will be in the middle of it all at that time as well. I have learned a lot from your blog and hope to apply it as I start out for the first time as a GA.

Yay a new video! Hi from North Carolina!

Don’t worry our winters are very mild, we still have lots of sunshine. 😊

I have a pair of blue light glasses from Amazon and I totally feel a difference when I don't wear them - I also asked my eye doctor about it and he said they work so it's not just a placebo effect! I don't mind the mundane vlogs at all, since that's what my daily routine looks like anyway :) it's comforting seeing other PhD students live a normal "boring" life

Do invest in blue light glasses. It really help me cause my day always with computer and Ipad.Hope it helps you!

I hope you get that funding, it is so frustrating to have to wait and be stuck in the uncertainty of it all.

Hi , can you make videos about Ohio State University vs the University of Cincinnati or other universities in Ohio (or whatever states) that offer PhD programs. Acceptance rates, Scholarships,rents,campus etc. Second thing that I wonder is how univetsity's budget can affect the funding for a PhD program? Thank you!

Hey Katherine, really enjoying your videos. I am currently a History major in undergraduate studies (Junior) and in the process of looking at graduate programs. I have a lot of questions, especially as someone who has experienced both the MA and Ph.D. process. Could I email you my questions?

Question: What happens if you don’t get any grants? Does that throw off your plans?
